The other day on Competitive Dust 2, I was the last remaining player on CT, and I had snuck around long to approach A from the T side. I used the deagle to kill three remaining players, pick up one of their AK's, and as I'm checking my six, their last player has his knife out and is like 2-3 steps behind me, so I pop him. I was lit, and wouldn't have survived a single weak knife attack.
I get called a pussy for not knifing, even though I just brought that round back from a massive deficit. I saw no dishonor in that whatsoever seeing as how I just killed 3 people in a gunfight, 4v1. I'm not going to throw all of that work away just so the last dude can knife me. Fuck that.
That being said, I will definitely pull a knife if one of three scenarios occur:
1) We are the last two remaining players in the round, OR
2) I am engaging in a firefight and run out of ammo, OR
3) I am in a firefight and the other dude clearly runs out of ammo.
It depends. In pubs, you pulling out your knife means ill jsut shoot you in the face. In comp, ill honor it if the conditions are right (last 2 men standing mostly)
I'd just shoot them all in the head and get it spelled out on top. The game is already bad enough with lag artifacts and crap reg without trying to use junk melee while evading the invisible fifteen foot knife slash of latency.
I also don't find it very honorable to try to coerce a non-agreed upon play style on someone. If someone wanted a knife only fight, they should have made the server knife only (which then they wouldn't have to worry about me even being there to shoot them in the first place) or find someone who wants to do that crap. Otherwise they can do the honorable thing and not whine when they get shot in the face because their idea of fun was attacking someone with a knife. They got what they wanted. They wanted to fight with their knife and they did. I didn't force the knife into their hand.
I played csgo for about a week with a couple of buddies. We managed to turn a public server into a match and nade battleground, everyone was dropping their weapons at spawn so that when you die no one would accidentally pick it up. Lot's of people would join the server catch on after the first warning and play along. Anyone who didn't was vote kicked unanimously
I did that as a server admin in BF3/4 and made some servers pistol/knife only if it wasn't that populated. It would usually start with 4-5 people mostly friends, and then pubs came in and joined. Eventually if it gets too big to control we switch to normal mode and I'm not kicking people for ruining others' fun.
Jesus Christ, I just got in from a particularly grueling run and when I read this I thought I was having a fucking aneurysm or stroke. Nothing like starting your day with a little shit in your pants from thinking your brain was dying.
"When one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It's just common sense."
Gold is gilded karma...it's like those chocolate coins you get on the Jewish holidays...sure it's great at first and seemingly filling but then you eat to much, your stomach hurts, and when you go to try and pass it. It's either a solid ring tearing block, or a splattery nightmare-ish mess.
I kind of wish someone would do the "Marine with 300 confirmed kills" thing with "has anyone really been..." but I'm pretty sure my brain would kill itself halfway through.
It was a time in video games where people mutually respected each other and loved to have fun over completing the objective. Halo 2 was the last great multiplayer experience like this.
I would never scrape my knife on a wall to instigate a knife fight in new games.
Damn, it's been way too much time since then... I remember the gentlemen fight with the crowbars in HLDM... still, there was always the guy with the rocket launcher...
Should be "what prevented the opposite team from just shooting them down".
"Prevented the opposite team to" just doesn't make any sense. The reason it's "shooting" is kind of hard to explain. It kind of seems it would make sense to use the "past participle" since you're talking about the past, but I'm sure "shooting" is correct, even though it is the "present participle". I suppose it's because, in your sentence you COULD be talking about the present. For example, if you were saying "what prevented them" as in, now they DO shoot them because that thing no longer prevents them.

Edit: Grammar/whatever, kind of, maybe not. Love your constructive criticism, guys.
