Don't really see what revisions/changes can be made to it other than maybe animations, or removing it entirely.

Sorry to continue with the derail of this topic...

You've never heard of someone is 'going under the knife' asin, going to the operating table for surgery?

I'm certain that the term came from people being operated on, knife meaning scalple...

I've also seen multiple comments from Devs that can code BF2 saying that left & right click with 1 weapon slot can't both be used as an attack function. Otherwise the bayonette could have have been implemented as a right click.

Knife should be remove or use as a tool to remove mine/ied, nothing else.

Mind backing that up with a reason?

to all players: if somebody afraid to use knife, its not the reason to deprive us of this pleasure, pleasure of PWNing snipers, AR or enemy with empty mag.

Simply removing it because 'people aren't using it as a last resort' is idiotic.

To be honest, if the AK bayonet and sheath can be used to cut electrical wires IRL, it should be able to, after a few goes, remove the wire, but the tank traps stay up.

Not all soldiers carry a bayonet, although most will carry something even in the form of a multi-tool. These are rarely used for personal defense though, this isn't WWII.

The term "Under the knife" as others had mentioned is a term related to the medical field. It refers to undergoing surgery, knife meaning slang for scalpel. In non-medical use, using that term means you are "fixing" something, aka performing surgery on the subject.

No soldier in his right mind would use his bayonet to remove any IED/UXO. While some soldiers might probe for mines with their bayonet or other similar object, they do NOT remove or disarm them by cutting wires or tampering with them. If an IED/UXO is located, you move to a safe distance and detonate it safely, or move it to a safe blasting area or place it in a containment canister.



My opinion is that the bayonet really has no need on the modern battlefield of PR. While it could save your life in a real war, the fact is that people rarely ever run out of ammunition in a PR match prior to either respawning or finding a resupply point. If the bayonet stays, no big deal. Players need to stop doing stupid shit they used to do in vanilla, like running around with a knife in their hand thinking they are Rambo.

Unless you are fully out of ammunition and are stupid or unfortunate enough not to have friendlies supporting you, then you have no reason to be using a knife/bayonet. If it was up to me, I'd code it so that anyone taking out their knife with even a single bullet left would die instantly. Then their corpse would be tea-bagged, raped by rabid baboons, then tea-bagged again by those baboons.

You need to chill out. In a serious way. Your posts are occasionally offensive and invariably brusque.

Knifing causes no serious gameplay problems in PR. Trying to sneak up on people and knife them is nothing more than minor horseplay in what is supposed to be a friendly and enjoyable atmosphere. It's extremely difficult to see why you have such a major problem with knifing.

Knife is needed at least for killing Fb's.

Even though its not exactly realistic, I see it more as a representation of a combination of weapons. You cannot 'use' your hands ingame so you need a feature to replace what they do in representative mannor.
