Now this is a guide for knifing face to face. Nothing about sneaky sniper killing or crawling in kneehigh grass to stab people. This is about the gun versus the knife. I'm sick of people thinking knives are only for nudging their way to an unsuspecting subject without being seen. It's a goddamn knife for christ's sake, it's still going to work even if your enemy sees you, they don't magically disappear or anything, believe it or not.
Now then.
First of all, you don't want to carry your knife around all the time. This just attracts attention. Imagine if you saw a squad of 4 running down the street, and youv'e got your AK-101 ready. One has a pump shottie. One has an F2000. One has a PKM. And one has a knife. Who do you shoot?
Well I guess you should shoot the others since they pose a potential threat to you but the knife guy's an easy kill. And you're a cheapass who can't afford to lose this oppurtunity, because you need every kill you can get so you shoot the knife guy.
Pull out your knife when you want it.
General knifing:
The best way to knife, whether you like it or not, is bunny hopping. Don't do it though. Try it another way. Sprint towards your enemy and when he sees you, don't panic and pull out your shottie. Instead, the moment he sees you, crouch, stand up and start sprinting again until you get around him and up close. He'll get so confused as to where you are, run around him in tight circles until he's low on ammo and then stab him.
The stabs:
First, there is the neckie. The neckie is done with a jump, slash and kill. Pretty much jump sideways along your enemy, slice him in the neck and run off.
Second is the down and dirty sexual stab. Done on prone opponents, jump high so he can't shoot you and land on top of him or behind him. Go prone yourself until it looks like you two are having clothed intercourse, and swing away with your knife. Best done with teammates around because they'll be too scared to shoot you and so they won't steal your kill.
Third; the sprinter kill. This is basically only accomplishable with full stamina. Walk to your enemy, save your energy. Once he sees you, dash around in figure eights and all around without jumping so you have maximum stamina use, and when he's out of ammo run in for the lethal swish.
Finally is the uppercut stab. Contrary to popular belief, you can stab a guy who's standing while you're prone. Just look for the crotch. Castrate the little fellas. Make him feel the pain. But the point is that you need to get down so he jumps up to try and shoot you. As soon as he lands he can't avoid you. His air movement is very limited so you can easily guess where he's going to land.
It takes some practice, but once you get used to it you'll be knifing people when you could easily nail em anyway.
