Cutthroating tips

Hey mates,

I am trying to master the "the way of the knife" and having hard time with it. Every time I attack - it comes as a miss and then someone will be 2 - 3 steps away from me and they attack and kill me (although there is a more than a hand-length distance between us). Also sometimes opponents drop down on the ground next to me (while I am standing) and manage to kill me with the knife...

Any words of wisdom from more experienced cut-throaters? Are there any tricks to using the knife?

Thank you.

Knifing is weird in 2142 but you have pointed out the main things yourself. Knife from further away than you would 'think' is right, get too close and its the hit detection seems to go off, that extra distance you see people using is the main way to avoid that. The second is going prone or kneeling and aiming up at the target.

Basically the things you have seen people do are the things you need to do because of the weird hit detection on knife attacks. When in Rome..

Hi.

I have a 30 min vid if you want to see how http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?docid=7907211413085712787&hl=en-GB , I have a few of the top players in world under the blade of my knife, I think I am an expert with my record being 18 kills to 12 deaths with just the knife!!

The thing is to realise that while there is no visable reticule there is a target box behind the scenes so as long as you can imagine where your reticule is you will score a hit, remember always come from beind and if that is not possible a sharp forward sprint followed my a jump to the right (then attack) works wonders.
