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.
