So i was going through my external hard drive and i found this old document about knifing that i write quite a long time back, it's pretty basic it just explains how some techniques work, it was originally a script for a COD4 Knife video tutorial that i never got around to completing. This is pretty much the script copied and pasted so parts might not make sense, it was meant to be voiced along side a video. I have the demo files floating around that were meant to be used for this so if anyone wants them i can upload them for you. You might learn something. There are quite a few tutorials on knifing in Call of duty 4. But we hope to go past the basics and explain it on a whole new level. To us Knifing is more of an Art. Everyone has their own techniques and styles and try to show other people to improve their own. So that what we're going to do today, we're going to share with you some of our Secrets, tips and tricks to improve you’re knifing.
The Introduction
There are quite a few tutorials on knifing in Call of duty 4. But we hope to go past the basics and explain it on a whole new level. To us Knifing is more of an Art. Everyone has their own techniques and styles and try to show other people to improve their own. So that what we're going to do today, we're going to share with you some of our Secrets, tips and tricks to improve you’re knifing.
Gearing up!
When it comes to making your knifing class you only really need to choose perks, the rest doesn’t matter, i personally knife with a p90 or an mp5, even though countless people believe you knife faster with a pistol or C4. Although it is true, i just prefer holding a gun, as a kind of Handicap. For your first perk, if you plan on going silent, flanking people from behind their spawns, you’re going to need Bomb squad. Alternatively if you’re going for a Rambo style you might use 3 Grenades or 3 Special Grenades. When it comes to perk 2 there is no choice, the obvious answer is UAV Jammer, if you think you’re going to go Rambo and think Juggernaut is good then by all means use it. But it won’t help against other players knifing. Perk 3, If you’re playing with a small group of players and your running around knifing, they’re going to hear you, So use dead Silence, but if it’s a large map and there are quite a few players they won’t notice you as much and your best bet will be Extreme Condition.
Back to Basics
This is how this segment will work, we’re going to show you a demonstration of the technique, then we will explain it, then we will show you again slowed down in third person so you can see the path. First thing first, we’re going with the basics. Sure there are more advanced and stylish moves, but really they’re just for show.
Jousting
Jousting is probably the most common technique people use, even without knowing, Jousting is just running full-speed at your enemy and stabbing him in the face. People with low pings and High FPS, can manage this without any troubles, but you if you have a slow computer, doing this can be a little tedious. When you’re attempting to knife people using this “Technique” try to knife a second or two sooner then you normally would.
Dolphin Dive
The dolphin dive, known by the majority as Prone knifing, is when you knife and prone at the same time towards an enemy. Whilst people use this technique as a form of jousting so the enemy miss, it has other uses, and the main one is for nipping the back of player’s legs while they go around the corner.
Jump Knifing
You see it everywhere, those rabbits jumping up and down around the place trying to shoot people, well it happens to work well in Knifing as well, Although jump knifing a person in prone won’t work out to well unless you catch them unprepared. But knife jumping has its uses of course, For example jumping up a ladder to nip the back of someone climbing it, It can be used for dodging as well, as can prone be used for dodging knives. When your knifing someone going straight at them will result badly no matter what position they’re in, when your jump knifing aim to the side of them, Just remember while you’re going through the air, they can easily maneuver around you, Jump knifing gives off too much wasted movement, that your foe can use against you, Only use if necessary, don’t jump knife at every person you see.
Epilogue
These techniques, as you may call them, are the backbone of knifing, all of are used within the more advanced knifing techniques, so getting these down prefect can help you greatly, Your probably thinking that this is a waste of time telling people the basics of knifing, you’re probably thinking it’s not that hard to press V on your keyboard. But there is another side that goes way beyond that. And you can be a part of it, although knifing isn’t a highly respected play style, there are not many knifing clans about, and I don’t think knifing scrims even exist. It’s the kind of thing you do with a passion.
If for some strange reason someone takes interest in making a cod4 knife video i would be happy to be involved.
