I mean, I know you can kill people with it at close range, but it should have some other little perks so people will actually USE it.

We've already had a long discussion about throwing the Ka-bar, and the end result was a no, IIRC. It's not really made to be thrown, and generally militaries don't teach knife throwing, you'd have to go pick it up after one throw, coding/animating the throwing would make for even more work for the INF team which means later releases for 2.8/3.0 and it probably wouldn't be worth it all.

I don't know about you but I will probably make good use of the knife, especially in loadouts that include lots of explosives and such, I might decide to not take a pistol and some mags and to just go with the ligher, cheaper, knife for a backup weapon.

Oh, and as for the topic question: You can kill.

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff I mean.

Like, you should be able to just draw your knife, hold the attack button, and nothing happens. but as SOON as you are within range, you automatically start slashing like crazy. And you run faster, quieter, so that you can really do a stealth kill.

Sounds familiar....

That really makes sense. If i whip out the knife i can run faster. Oh ya. I can imagine why you would think this, but the weight is still there and if you had a gun it may be even more awkward to run with it in your backpack.

Shotguns work great on wooden doors. I haven't seen any1 try it on metal ones though... (what can I say? I live on a farm, there's a great many things that can be used as targets). In any case, the ricochet of a shotgun is generally not a problem, and definately not if you stand ten metres away (which is nothing). Those little pellets have so little individual kinetic energy and deform so easily that after hitting something, like a wall, they aren't much of a threat to anything except maybe your skin.
