Your thoughts on throwing knives?

[_MEGA]

I think it should be a weapon you can find like a gun on jail maps, would be legit.

I agree with Jomi as that would be a neat feature. Also would be nice to see this on the event server or even D2DM. As for all other servers I would have to say no as it would ruin the more traditional game-play that most people do join the server for.

1. they are 1 hit kills but you can never hit them like in cod
-which means they suck.

2. they can be super easy to use, but not 1 hit kill
-you would just get sprayed and killed by anyone with a gun
-which means they would suck.

3. they can be super easy to use, fast and impossible to dodge, have a long range, and be a 1 hit kill.
-be overpowered
-be the new awp, but the awp would still be better. so they still suck.

I just don't see any balancing point in a melee weapon being thrown. The only feasable way for it to be any good is for it to be a 1 hit kill while requiring some semblance of skill to use correctly, but at that point, anyone will use the fancier awp. It doesn't have a niche to fill.

1 hit kill weapons have no niche to fill that isn't filled by the awp without being grossly overpowered. The only way a single shot, slow reload weapon can even begin to be balanced though, is if it were a 1 hit kill. Theres just no reason to use it in a tactical sense.

^ Discussion ended. Win for Michael Scott.

Anyway, about the throwing knives. I'd say YES!! I love 'em on Call of Duty.
It should be a oneshot though, no more than once. If you need to throw a knife twice at him for him to be dead, it would not be a great succes. Brilliant suggestion, might be the best we had so far in my opinion!

O really? I get loads of Tomahawk kills. You can't blame it on the throwing knives man.

Definitely not for Dust2 or Office, since those servers are popular anyways, and changing something would make some of our loyal players angry. Maybe Dust2 Deathmatch and Jail, since it could work really well there.

Would be a fun thing to try.

 

[Fluxion]

Maybe, MAYBE, on Jail.. but overall, no. Never.

 

[The Terminator]

D2DM and jail ONLY.

How difficult would it be to implement random throwing knives throughout all or most JAIL maps? Or maybe a knife could spawn in a cell? If this cannot be done then we at least need this in the D2DM and event server for the different games we have for that server. I am against throwing knives in the other servers but D2DM and Event server would be fun! And council, please at least consider the idea of having knives in Jail. Over and out.

Meh. Mine would boomerang and come at me through my screen.

 

[Jon the WISE]

so uh just sayin i recommended this a while back and think it is an awesome idea

Also a point you should consider is that if throwing knives was intentionally designed for a gungame server now i have to say that if you put this plugin on the dust2deathmatch server you will create problems such as getting a throwing knife every time you with a lot of people will be a little pointless. Also i think we should get it for jail it would be nice for a t to get 1 throwing knife each. Also before you put it on a server i think we should test it out on the event server and see how people like it.

Ts are already winning the vast majority of rounds, giving a throwable knife to every T would just be over the top.

I agree with RDK but if maybe a knife or two spawned in a cell, as well as the usual pistol then it might work out. But yeah, every single terrorist spawning with a throwing knife is absurd.

CoD dejavo all over again.. Ugh

I say let them roll. Its hard to get a a kill from long range with those things to begin with. I wouldn't have any problem with them.

exactly why it wouldn't be worth the time/effort to attempt to implement such a thing when most guns will easily outperform it.
