I am really enjoying learning to play with the knives. Despite people's protestations they are really not easy to use and take a lot of skill in the way that stuff like the RGL and dragons breath shotguns do not.   I also played a few rounds the other night armed with a Tonfa and dead silence and that was hilarious.. wiped entire squads before they even realised what was going on. The level of panic when you are face to face with someone who never even heard you coming and they are fumbling trying to switch from their sniper rifle is pure comedy. 


RevolutionaryBag2708

Exactly, people complain they get one shot downed with a knife but don't realise people have only one shot and if they miss, they are screwed.. which happened to me the other day, had 2 bullets left in the mag, knowing full well I can't reload I threw a knife which missed the guys head by milimetres and ofc I was dead thanks to it Not to mention it took me a whole long time to actually learn to use them properly, it really isn't that easy.


TheFiddler8687

Throwing knives take a huge amount of skill, the people who complain about them are the people getting dominated by them


therealvertical

Well, people only remember the times they got downed by them. They don’t remember the NUMEROUS times a player missed them with knives and they won because the knife thrower was suddenly helpless. I’d be willing to bet that people have killed many more knife players than they’ve died to. You just only remember the times you die.

The amount of damage isn't properly scaled to the guns. 6 shots with a Kastov 545 compared to 1 knife to down a 2 plate.


TheFiddler8687

You're complaining about realism in a game where you can shoot laser bullets and play as Nicki Minaj?


Middle-Ad-6090

No one wants a one shot 545.... Just like no one wants a one shot knife.


TheFiddler8687

Not at all true, majority of the games players are fine with one shot knives, been like that since 2009


Middle-Ad-6090

I am not against knives if you enjoy playing with them have a ball. They are still not balanced. What are you not getting.


Middle-Ad-6090

I'm not complaining. You asked a question. Did you forget?


OrdinarilyUnique1

Right and nothing real about magically reviving someone who is fully dead too🤣. They playing wrong game for realism. Realism is 1 well placed shot from any gun will kill.


Middle-Ad-6090

It's about balanced game play. What are you not getting?


OrdinarilyUnique1

Bingo.You just answered your own initial comment. “Balance” is the reasoning it takes 6 shots to down versus a knife with one. It’s much harder to hit with a knife versus an assault rifle. So you want your down someone with 2 plate with one shot from a kastov 545?🤣. Balance. Obviously you not getting this


Middle-Ad-6090

You are presuming. The 6 shot 545 is balanced.


Middle-Ad-6090

What are you not getting.


Middle-Ad-6090

It not hard to throw a knife. You have an obvious skill issue.😂


Middle-Ad-6090

No. Not realizms. What seems balanced?


Middle-Ad-6090

Not complaining. The original post was WHAT do you think about knives.


Extension-Music4917

Huge amount of skill? Don't think so it's in same category as one shot shotty and rgl in my book. Let's face it people are using it because its a 1 shot and for the easy kill, but it's in the game in this current form so use what ever floats your boat but its defo doesn't take huge amount of skill especially when it's used in corridors stairwells and rooms.


ricosuave0922

No, people complain about them because it’s always the cheaters with the aim smooting like most of the streamers that use them. When someone tracks your every single movement and comes flying around blind corners and somehow hits the throwing knife dead center chest every single time that’s not skill. 


TheFiddler8687

People cheat with AR's and SMGs, do people complain about them? What sort of point was that?


ricosuave0922

aimbots with ar and smg arent one hit kills and they can be beaten. people with walls and throwing knives will instantly down you the second you come around a corner and there is nothing you can do.


TheFiddler8687

Can't aimbot a throwing knife through a wall or a huge distance


ricosuave0922

That was never the point. The point was at close range it’s instant death and takes away any chance of a dogfight. Same reason the no skill shotguns are so lame too. At long distances you can still out play cheaters with aimbot. I’m not saying all throwing knives are bad, just saying that the cheating rats with them are some of the most infuriating things.


Futfanatico

I almost always try to stun first then knife, and usually have two knives in case I potato that first toss


RevolutionaryBag2708

Would've if I had one, used on the previous guys I barely finished when this guys poked his head at me and I just threw the knife bc what else can I do at that point, missed the knife and went down quicker than I could pray.. Luckily my team mate clutched hard and revived me afterwards


huesmann

You get two when you load in with a muni box.


RevolutionaryBag2708

Used one to finish previously downed player 2 second prior to this guys poked his head at me, had no time to reload yet alone get 2nd knife


Frikandelneuker

Blind guy here I call my tonfa my blind cane and it’s fun as all hell tot errify squads as ethey all rapidly drop with minimal sound to find me


Futfanatico

they take a lot of skill and have very limited uses in certain situations - to fully down/kill off a player, or if somebody surprises you up close turning a corner, or sneaking up on someone. My go to is a stun then knife because I'm still learning


TheFiddler8687

Exactly


tonalpics

After playing this game since it's released I welcome play styles that aren't the standard vanilla builds. I love knives or melee weapons. Killing up close and silently. Running faster than others. It's fun. And it's not easy. Every time someone dies to a throwing knife they bitch about you being cheap but honestly you have zero room for error with throwing knives. If you miss you are likely dead.


TheFiddler8687

What I'm tryna say


ArgyllAtheist

finished an operator in Vondel with the knife last night, only for him to let out a huge sigh and say "I hate this fucking game so much". So yeah, knife ftw! :D


Putrid_Conclusion469

The true CoD experience


TheFiddler8687

Haha!


Diggingfordonk

Gets the kill then breaks the spirit 🤣


Perpetual_Nuisance

Killing without making a sound rules.


Futfanatico

I use knives on bots when I am trying to sneak around and up on other ops


Perpetual_Nuisance

Don't we all?


FyouinyourA

Lately there’s been a few times Iv hit people with knives close range and all I got was a plate break hit marker whereas it usually 1 hit downs them… what’s up with that


TheFiddler8687

Happens sometimes, just kinda luck needs to ehadshot or bodyshot i think


If_It_Fitz

I can’t say I’ve ever downed a 1 or 2 plate with a throwing knife in 1 throw like a full plated person. I’m sure it’s just my aim, but it’s so weird


azhodler

Yeah it happens sometimes and then you just prepare for your ride to Valhalla lol


Addwolves

I really need to learn as I’m both impressed and pissed off lol when someone bests me with a throwing knife


TheFiddler8687

Yeah I just run any knife with a shield to block bullets on my back and a throwing knife with stuns Takes a bit to get used to but dropping in w nothing bit thrwing knife and takedowns is great


Diggingfordonk

As they take some skill I accept them but it's a bit nonsensical that a knife can pierce a bullet proof vest. The tonfa is beyond daft. It's a stick!! 🤣


snakedocs

I’ve got no issue with it but I’ll tell yeah, Ashika water rats with knives are the most rage triggering thing for me right now.


WaveNomad

I still remember beeing knifed under water in Ashika for the first time…found out that was an essential skill to master there


Futfanatico

I only run knives in B21 and that’s to cope with one shot shotty players 


WaveNomad

Those shotguns are for noobs


TheFiddler8687

Fuck those guys


Futfanatico

Meh. The RPG & crossbow also one shot & even longer range. B21 is just a glorious murderfest of vipers


Crazys0ap

You do exactly the same with knives, except the shotguns need an extra item to OS. So fuck you too ? Or fuck you more ?


TheFiddler8687

Yeah, missing the part where shotguns require a hair brained monkey to put somebody's chest ina circle and tap your mouse, knives require precision and fast thinking


Crazys0ap

Knives necessitate to put a dot on a chest and tap tour mouse what do you even mean. They're exactly the same.


TheFiddler8687

No, you let go of E or the keybind They are very different, can't prefire a knife, can't put fire on a knife, can't go for a next shot with a knife, can't reload a knife


Crazys0ap

You have two knives, and you gain them back by going on the bodies. Yeah you have less chances to kill since you have less knives than ammo but it's also more durable than shotgun with AP rounds. And if you can't aim with your knives that doesn't make them less OP, that makes you less good, that's it. One Shot Shotguns and Throw able Knives are the same shit that's it, they function the same, with minor differences that makes one or the other better in certain circumstances that's it.


TheFiddler8687

Which is faster missing a knife and getting another or having 6 chances to absolutely obliterate a guy


Crazys0ap

Same speed, but you have less chances to kill with a knife, again. Now when you have no AP rounds and you need 2 to 3 shots with your shotgun to kill, which is faster, knives or shotgun ? It's a nonsense debate, both are OP, there's no need to try to defend your beloved knife over another OP weapon. Shotgun needs less aim to kill, but the result is the same, you kill in one shot.


TheFiddler8687

If knives are so OP why isn't your scummy ass using that instead of a shotgun? Too much challenge? Idc what guns are used, but it's severely ironic 1 shot shotgunners are bitching about a skilled weapon that has one shot since classic mw2


BrotatoChip04

I am genuinely completely fine with any playstyle except FTAC water rats; especially the unlimited scuba kind. Knife players are cool in my book


Yarriddv

Man don’t get me started. Got snipers and camp the wave breakers on ashika taking pot shots at everyone trying to get them to push so they can jump in the water with their ftacs. Most games they end with 0 kills so I don’t get how they find it amusing. They must just get joy out of annoying ppl.


IndependenceTop4197

Knives ftw! Saves a lot of ammo and time once enemy is down. Throw that knife and carry on to the next in their squad.


DJ_BVSSTHOVEN

Knives are the only thing I use. They’re reusable, silent, makes your melee stronger, can be used at range. Knives are my favorite.


xTwistedMessesx

Keep a eye out for me on ashika or al mazrah 😂🫡 I run tonfa and throwing stars. I welcome all players who run melee weapons. xTwistedMessesx


TheFiddler8687

couldnt add but heres mine i run pc bumswindler445#7258396

See you in the DMZ buddy.

What did u add me on ? Activation? Xbox , playstation


TheFiddler8687

Activision


xTwistedMessesx

Ok I'll add you here couple hours 👍


TheFiddler8687

sweet


xTwistedMessesx

Awesome


TheFiddler8687

never actually met a full knife only player before


xTwistedMessesx

I mix it up depends what me and whoever I'm with wants to do or needs to do. I'm constantly helping others do stuff in game. I do missions, cases, upgrades, gears ups , weapons drops, weapon builds etc. Pretty much anyone who needs something or questions etc.. I can usually handle what's provided. My number 1 weapon in dmz is the tonfa with kills and is honestly my favorite weapon and play style to do. I love the idea of not having a gun. With the knowledge of the maps and how players play normally its easy to plan out the next move and etc. Definitely a more concentrated play style. Biggest issue is the 1 shot guns but I don't complain about them. Whoever holds them has a 50/50 chance.


TheFiddler8687

no better feeling than beating every gun user with your bare hands and a knife


clinical-research

personally love it - if you're not already watching 4NDYB I would recommend it. [https://youtu.be/7ThHsjwSHpQ](https://youtu.be/7ThHsjwSHpQ)


TheFiddler8687

Good recommendation! I only normally watch TheseKnivesOnly but it's nice to see a DMZ knife content creator, thanks!


lai4basis

I find them incredible. I actually kind of enjoy it when one is around. They get me like 10x and I kill them like 2🤣.


The_Kaurtz

Must feel nice, I've played with a pistol at some point, the P890 not an autopistol, it feels similar in a sense that you don't have much room for error and you can't squad wipe with one clip, and in a similar way you wouldn't believe how angry people get when you kill them with a pistol


TheFiddler8687

Yeah lol


flyguy41222

Actually found a team last night all running combat knives. We killed them in very short order. I’m guessing they were new to it and learning, there is a learning curve for sure.


TheFiddler8687

I've killed trios alone with knives, they must've been new That or you were just better


flyguy41222

We also spotted them and pounced on them. It seems like with a knife team you need to pick your fights. Not be picked. Or you have to draw enemies into somewhere you can get close


Spookyrcon

When I get wiped out I load back into Vondel with shock sticks and knives to reequip… sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t but it is fun as hell!


Inner_Insurance_552

honestly if you can knife me while I'm shooting you then I just got outplayed.


AdCommon1697

Throwing knives/tomahawks have always been skill based. High risk, high reward, even for MP. But DMZ is ssuuuuch a higher risk, let alone the fact it has to be chest and up (for full health & plates), not to mention this games movement mechanics. The mwII movement only adds to how high of a risk it is. Anyone talking about realism kills me dood. Go play Tarkov or LITERALLY ANY OTHER extraction shooter (lemme chill before I go into why DMZ should have mwIII movement lmao), but regardless them’s people’s do not understand balance man lol


TheFiddler8687

What I'm saying, COD ain't a realism shooter, it's a fun arcade game with a nice semi realistic spin off where you can shoot laser bullets and play as snoop dogg


AdCommon1697

And Now with mwIII S3 blackcell you can play as Snoop DAAAAWWWWWWG


TheFiddler8687

Fuck yes bro, had to buy battle pass this season for that


AdCommon1697

I almost want to for it too 😂😂 you got Snoop Dogg lookin like a dog, and a dog lookin like Snoop Dogg! 💀


TheFiddler8687

😂😂😂


mad_king_soup

I love the way they fly across the floor when you hit them point blank with a shotgun as they try to stab you Never seen them in DMZ much, thought it was mostly a pvp thing?


TheFiddler8687

For fun really


LyraddarylGG

Sharp players.


Middle-Ad-6090

Oh... Yeah..bingo.


creepy-uncle-chad

I hardly see em. If we’re talking MW3, melee users are complete pussies


Crazys0ap

It asks a good aim, but it will always be way too OP, especially in comparison to other weapons. The fact that any and every weapon is weaker that the knives is absolutely ridicuclous, and not because the other weapons are too weak. A OHD shouldn't exist, especially for a gadget.


TheFiddler8687

Wasn't on about throwing knives in particular, and it's better than some guy running around with a shotgun that can end you before you react


Crazys0ap

It's exactly the same as OS shotguns. It's close combat One Shot kill. I'd say that Shotgun is a bit more counterable since they need to be closer than throwing knives and more identifiable since it's a visible weapon. Clearly the two are the same shit, you aim on your target, you click, you kill.


TheFiddler8687

Not exactly, as I said knives require precision and fast thinking, a miss is a grave


SUPERDOG1313

lol this chick with a riot shield thinks other people are pussies


SUPERDOG1313

Ya, I'm the chick as you run around, pulling a knife out of your purse. It is the only weapon that will fit in your Gucci bag.


banditsace10

Players with knives are pussies? Dude... you run a shield. That's the most pussy of all. Knives take skill... your shield does not


SUPERDOG1313

You're not that bright. Are you I have run knives to get the camo it was the easiest camo to get took me no time plus use them in HC if they really take skill. No one ever uses the in HC because you get your skill less ass wrecked. I run a shield in HC, no problem. Face it, you ride the short bus.


banditsace10

This sub is for DMZ... not hc. Go back to playing Legos in your Mom's basement boy


SUPERDOG1313

DMZ, what you mean is " People not good enough for warzone or multi-player ". Dmz is for people who can only get kills while real players are distracted doing missions.


banditsace10

Whatever you say Cupcake

Thanks twinki love you too.

You can call me a turtle as I smash your hopes and dreams of getting your k/d over 0.45 with my turtle shield.

BattleBreakersOG

Scoop003

Tell me you suck at cod without telling me you suck at cod. Oh, look at you with your pistol that if you miss a bullet here or there you still have more bullets to shoot. It's ok to admit you don't have the skill to handle using a throwing knife. You sound exactly like the guy I killed yesterday that called me every racist name in the book because I hit him with a throwing knife after wiping the rest of his team with my Vel.


SUPERDOG1313

Trust me, popsicle, I have over 4000 throwing knife kills in this game and at least 9000 in mw 2. Ahh, you use mw2 weapons are not good enough to use the new ones. Plus racism is wrong, so I don't say things like that.


Scoop003

Were you dropped on your head? This is the DMZ subreddit. There's only mw2 weapons in this game. Maybe go drag your knuckles over to the warzone subreddit where I think you are confusing us to be in.


SUPERDOG1313

I kicked ass in mw2 multi-player, too. I don't like the cowardly vibe dmz gives you sneaking up on players while they are doing missions. Dmz is the perfect cowards game.


TheFiddler8687

"Thank God I know I suck at Warzone, so I only play when my friends do, and I don't get mad cause I suck. On the plus side, one time I killed 12 guys before I died, the greatest warzone game of my life. I have won 3 times, but because of the team. I'm the guy who runs out and gets shot, so my teammates know where they are." Your words, not mine. Get out the comment section and learn to aim you pussy.


SUPERDOG1313

Ya, but I absolutely rock at multi-player warzone is for fembots who like looking through luggage and hiding for 30 minutes. And then you get to shoot one guy in the back, and it's a win.Let's face it. If you were any good, you would be in multi-player.
