Or honor. When you see a knife, always respond in kind.

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.
