There are several things from other games I like. Obviously I'm a die hard fan of URT so I play it far more than any. That being said, one idea I really like is from COD4. It's pretty nifty when you all of the sudden come around the corner staring down someones barrel and then in one swift fell, Press V and out comes your knife and off with their head.

I think it would be a pleasant adaptation to URT either in 4.2 or sometime in the future. It's really quite convenient. I don't ever use the knife in URT because it is just way too slow. Also, perhaps faster reloading could be added to this "Hollywood style game"

Great work DEV's and QA! Your work is awesome from what I have seen so far!

An idea from cod, and it's a good idea! This gets an f1 from me.

Couldn't this be done with a little scripting?

Do keep in mind though that the knife will only kill in 1 hit to the head, unlike in cod when 1hit to anywhere gets you a kill. I could be wrong about that last part as I've only played it 2 or 3 times.

We've toyed with high damage/fast knives before and its a bit of a problem in urban terror, cause unlike cod, you're very, very fast.

eg: Imagine the damage a top walljump/strafejumper could do if he could instakill anyone in melee range?

hehe the dev replies stopped the hordes of 'this is not cod4!' ragers.

High damage is too much, but making the knife faster would be nice. The weapon switching speed is too high if you are in a really close firefight and you want to take your knife out, or if someone bumps into you.

You could mimic it, but not the effect (as you said, COD knife is pretty high damage).

bind x "ut_weaptoggle knife; wait 150; +attack; -attack; ut_weaptoggle primary"

But than the problem with it is that the delay duration depends on the max FPS you achieve in game. 150 wait is appropriate for 125FPS. Player with less FPS should use a lower delay.
But this is really pointless for UrT to use such script since knife slashing takes only 20hp. It's even more pointless as "waits" in a script block movement inputs (+moveleft/+moveright/+forward/+back).
Hell, you're probably better off just press-and-hold your jump key and run into your opponent with a side arm (kick them face ).

Than there is knife throwing which UrT has which COD doesn't. Who is going to volunteer to visit IW forum asking them for knife throw?

^ that bind says 'better use easy to use (rightly available) binds for knife and primary 'cause if it doesn't hit the 1st time it wastes time'.

and you may not need primary.

and the time handicap reasons you said.

The attacking speed is fine but a faster weapon cycling only to knife could be a nice idea.

reloading is balanced imo faster reloads = less tactical = more spamming.

the time between the fire mode change by knife should be faster
sometimes when i try to get my knife i get it in throw mode and it takes to long to change it back to slashing -.-

btw in call of duty modern warefare 2 u can throw knifes hehe
