Knife issues

[Burger]

does the helmet actually stop any damage to the head? I don't use helmets, cause they're as useful as a pea-shooter in a nuke war (IMO) I'd rather take an extra mag or nade.

*waiting for jokes about headshotting me..*

Guys with left hand I mean that in real life you can grab your target, stop him from running away. But this can only be done from EXTREMELY close range.
From 50cm/1 meters, it's better to have a knife than an m16, but not in INF....

 

[Burger]

I meant Infiltation wise. Does a helmet actually save you?

 

[Rostam]

Yeah, it does save you. It saves you from shrapnell (oh wait, it's now the explosion killing you so it's useless) and it saves you from pistol rounds (oh wait nobody takes pistol rounds and even if they do they just shoot your legs off) so yeah, I do use helmets all the time, but they never actually do anything anymore.

It can save you from deadly headshots, when the gun firing is a:

Microuzi
Miniuzi
Mp5k
Mp5A2
Mp5A3

M9
M93R
1911
DE.357
Mk23

Shotgunpellets

While not many use the pistols, I meet a resonable number of submaschineguns out there to think the helmet has its use.

5kg of 'fuck off' in the form of rifle butt to face may say otherwise...

I wish so bad there was a mute to do that.

Pffft from 50cm you can't hit someone with a buttstock.... errr, can you?

 

[Keganator]

I would hope so ... unless you have exceptionally short arms

 

[Hadmar]

Or the arms of the guy you want to hit get in the way.

 

[Rostam]

Thank you Hadmar, that's exactly what I meant. From 50cm there isn't the room to swing something.

 

[yurch]

It's also a stupid theoretical situation, try getting within 50cm of someone who doesn't want you there in reality.
If he sees you or hears you, you lose. Stealth is so easy in games.

 

[Taque]

But we are playing a game ... In any case, with a decent sound system, you gotta be pretty unaware/deaf not to hear someone come up behind you in INF. That is, unless they crawled the entire way there.

 

[Rostam]

Disagree, there. It's not like I walk around like it's splinter cell, I just try to make sure that when those silly TDM-ers run around the corner that they run past me, it's easy to follow and stab someone in INF. Probably just as easy as it would be in real life.

Of course that's the knive only situation. The other involves someone lieing proned in a bush with no other teammate within 100 meters with a robar in his hands, what stops you from stabbing him when you are within 10 meters? There is not much he can do about it...

Except that you should probably be using a 3pt sling which makes it impossible to butt smack someone. You could probably parry their knife attack with the front end of the rifle, but you probably lose anyway if the enemy is close enough to knife you and you can't shoot him.
