Is there a knife fighting code aka Weasel law?

[exnihilio]

Had a fun lil' round of Northern Strike going. All of us fairly new to it and then down steams the Goliath. Good fun as we had heard the rumours.
We all start coming in as engineers to try and take the sucker down as it bears in on our spawn point.
Obvioulsy some skilled squads with it as it was cruising well and people we hoping in and out to the point of cocky as the hoppers all seemed to be Recon combining active camo and knifing.
Eventually we wise up a bit and keep ready with the engineer crap rifle (or whatever the heck the "seemingly 10 or so rounds to kill" gun is for engineer) ready for the camo-ed weasles.
As I'm lining up a missle shot I spot the weasle blur out of the corner of my eye and mow one in particular down on a quick switch over to rifle last second with a back crawl last second shooting spree followed by a prone to duck a knife swing and polish off the knee caps.

This is shortly followed by something along the lines of "P*ssy f*ckin' Noob shooting me. Use your f*cking knife ya f*cking NOOB" or something along those lines. Followed by an attempted kick by him and his weasle buddies.

Just awesome. Fun part was I then had the pack trying to chase me down and probably never had as many kills with the crap rifle as I did that night!

So it begs the question:

You hop a ride in a mobile bomb shelter, hop out camo-ed and sneak around behind me while I'm trying to rocket said shelter, I notice you (obviously an experienced knifer since camo equates in BF2142 to your Mom's basement in life...sheltering you from the real game of BF2142/life) and I beebeegun your guts in...and I've broken one of the principal weasel laws.
No fair peeking! Ok..now we have to go find a pit and duke it ou....hey...you're shooting me!

There are times I just wish an admin could fire up a sniper-less map every so often.
Just thought I'd share and throw it out. Was the first kick vote I had gotten...was kinda proud!

[I-Kodiak-I]

just ignore whiners like that. they are just sad that they realise that some ppl dont wanna lose thier tags and or keep them, also all is fair in love and war. so just ignore them, or just give them a comeback (but this may worsen the situation) like " Go cry ? " or " I love you too mate " becoz he/she wouldnt be expecting that and makes him/her furouis.. Awhhh good times :p

but overall dont worry too much about these whiners, If i know im gonna lose a night fight, then why risk losing my tags when i can get a kill ? if its an evenly matched knife fight then yea ill give it a whirl.

-off topic-
my first kick-vote was when there was a SL beacon out the middle of no-where, and i was in the walker, so when ever someone podded in i'd kill them, ppl were like omg your spawn camping, i just replied "A: spawn as AT and kill me, B: there are OTHER places to spawn" but most people never realise this haha

[Zombat]

The only knife fighting code is:
Sneak up on the enemy so you can get close enough to knife him

If you get shot you fail; suck it up.

[Namakan]

I die a lot when knifing, i don't complain. Is a friggin knife VS a gun. What do think is gonna happen? Some people are so idiotic. You had the right to shoot him. Unless its a knife on knife fight and you pull out your gun.

[bee_minion]

Yeah. If you spot him, and he's really close and you only have your gun out, shoot him. If you spot him, and have time to pull out your knife, do so, teach the bastard a lesson in knife fighting. Just don't pull out a gun if you've already started knife fighting, that's just wrong.

[JesusJehovus]

There is no "code" to knifing. If someone is coming at you with a knife and you have a gun equipped, then by all means smoke the bastard. It takes too long to whip out your knife to risk being sliced to hell. I guess my point is; If you're going to try to knife someone, make sure you get him before he sees you. Otherwise, you've failed.

[Vreki]

The Engineers "rifle" is a sub machine gun, so it is only meant for really close range combat.
But in that it excels.

Whatever "Gentleman Rules" for knife duels you may subscribe to doesn't really matter in this case.
If he tries to sneak up upon you from behind then it is the rules of war that apply, and they say to fill him with lead.
That goes double if he is cloaked.

[dread]

There are only two unwritten rules:

- Don't bring a knife to a gunfight

- Interrupting a knife duel makes you look like an idiot ;)

[Flt. Sgt. Powderhound]

My rules for knife fighting: Use a herzog.

[Uncleadolph]

My rules for knife fighting: Use a herzog.

Or try and make him have a knife fight with your sentry drone xD

[The Gatekeeper]

I always use the knife on occasion once or twice whenever I'm challenged. After those two swipes fail, it's a straight shot of Clark/Pistol/Voss to the face. Nothing says "I care less for your dogtags but I care about mine" more than that (it also says love)!

[MachineMadness]

you see that person prolly played CS over 500 hours and is used to that when someone pulls out a knife so should you.......well you know what this aint CS...teach him the BF2/Bf2142 knife law :)

[Light_Wolf]

If I see someone running towards me with a knife, I whip up my own, if I got the time. There's nothing more fun than a fair knife-fight. I just wish that more people would do things like that.

My gentleman law: If you see someone running towards you with knife in hand, then the appropriate response is to answer his challenge in kind, whippin' up your blade.

[jackal22]

YES, YES there are rules,

















THE rule is to whip out a gun and shoot the tard in the face. only knife people from behind, dam people now days expect you to give them kills?

[Light_Wolf]

Bah. I engage in a knife fight whenever I can. It's a refreshing change from the normal "I just smoked your face" way of playing. And it's still a game, so you're allowed to die. And giving them your kills? If I engage a knife fight, I certainly try my best to get a hold of my enemy's dogtag. :D And if I see someone challenging me to a crossing of blades, I damned well expect him to fight as hard as he can.

[TrooperJac]

The rule is - By whatever means necessary.

Do whatever you have to do to get a kill. If people don't like getting killed they should play Tetris instead! :D

If you see one of your squad fighting knife to knife with an enemy - run up and pump the enemy with a faceful of shot. It's your duty to save a fellow soldier from wasting their lives through macho knife posturing :D

[sneaker98]

I had a good laugh at this story.

The idiot's just frustrated that he didn't get a knife kill. Don't worry about it ;)

[Sw1tch]

- Interrupting a knife duel makes you look like an idiot ;)

Unless you bring a knife to interrupt it with :D

Or under the rare circumstance there is a stationary rail gun around. Then in my book it is completely legit to take shots at the knifer, plus it makes for a hilarious duel.

[frazle]

If it was a game like CSS, I'd say yeah if someone challenges you like that you should knife. But as soon as you throw the dogtags into the mix, if you care about people getting yours then no, shoot the ****er :D

LMAO thanks for that great laugh just before I go to work. I think I can get through the night now.:laugh:

And I like the "Nice thanks" after the kill. Will have to start doing that.

[darren06r]

Yeah. If you spot him, and he's really close and you only have your gun out, shoot him. If you spot him, and have time to pull out your knife, do so, teach the bastard a lesson in knife fighting. Just don't pull out a gun if you've already started knife fighting, that's just wrong.

i had that happen to me once, was going up behind a guy and he turned and spotted me, so we knifed at each other for a few seconds, then he pulls out his rifle and sprays me with a full round of ammo!!!

[Snickety B]

I don't give a flying f8ck whether you, your buddy or your mom get my dogtags. I'm sure as hell not going to go out of my way to get yours.

What I do care about is staring at the respawn screen for 15 seconds. So if you attack me with a knife, a shotgun, a Voss, or whatever I'll defend myself as best I can.

So naturally I'll use an impassable field of APMs. (or a gun but I'm not fussy)

[nadicus]

Awhile ago I was a gentlemans knife fighter (If a guy is running up on me w/ knife, I'd pull mine out). But after like 5 or six people did this and then pulled out there guns and wasted me I said no more. Now I just waste them.

And If i'm in a playful mood:: KNifer running towards me, I pull out my knife and spar for a little, then when he leasts expects it I give him some AUTO to the face. It is hilarious, cheap, but hilarious. I can just hear the other player cursing his monitor. Good times GOOd times :laugh:

[kerosene31]

The rule that is important is:

-if the name is in red, shoot, stab, throw fish or whatever else to make sure they see the spawn screen before you do.

[St.Sasquatch]

P*ssy f*ckin'

Isent that standar? i mean. id prefer that before a guy.....:confused:

but back to topic! ive had a lot of fun with the knife, but i dont understand those people who pulls out the knife when it would be so much easier to shoot me. i knife when i have an open chance, if its usefull, like im out of ammo or he is laying down behind something and its easier to knife, or if i see that the knife attacker is unskilled and want a little fun. but other than that, you have been given a gun, and its meant to kill with. it dosent really matter how you kill a guy, as long as you kill him while loosing minimal health. as long as your not going for an award!

[Voop_Bacon]

For me its like this. Guys pulls out knife. I try to empty my SMG but then realise i have 4 bullets in clip. Only then will i ever pull out my knife(except coming from behind) and duel him/her/you. The only rule i care for is once your in duel keep it that way. No pulling out your SMG, LMG, AR, or RL(some dude did that to me once).

[Casper]

What I will do is if I see the enemy go knife and have time to get mine out then i will. However if he has buddies around with guns then I wont because they will shoot me dead if I win. So really its a one on one kind of thing only.

Now the lamest thing a player can do is coming at you with a knife and after a couple missed passes, pull out their gun and shoot you or hop in a vehicle and kill you. Now those people are lame.

[HkSniper]

I just love those guys who see you with your back a ways off, pull out their knife, and swing it like crazy on their way towards you. I hear them EVERY time and the result is the same every time, I turn around and shoot them.

The only time I ever resort to knife using is if I'm completely out of ammo (Such as in a mass fight, running out of primary ammo, then secondary, if I have no time to reload, the knife comes out as a last resort) if I sneak up on someone, or if I happen to run into someone alone who pulls out the knife.

If you want to knife fight in the middle of a firefight. Sorry pal, I'm going to shoot you.

If you want to knife fight and I'm alone but you've got buddies around, sorry, I'll shoot you.

If you want to knife fight and my buddies are around, well, 9.5 out of 10 times they will shoot at you while I'm trying to knife you so, I'm going to shoot as well.

I follow a code somewhat in BF2142, as I have always followed in the series. I rarely blast away someone who is out in the middle of no where if I am in a tank. There have been so many times I've cruised up to someone who crashed their gunship, accidetally bailed out of a transport too early, or what ever, and just sat there with my tank turret pointed at them, give them a moment to just stand there, then just drive off. :laugh: It's not worth the 2 points to cap someone THAT defenseless.

The truth is though, that you're actually being quite harsh there, since they may now have to suicide to save spending the rest of the round in the middle of nowhere! When you nuke them, think of it as a mercy killing! :D

[sneaker98]

That's the logic I use, Powderhound ;)

[Immortal-27]

I have had fun with the knife fights, sometimes the guy I am trying to knife pulls out his knife and joins in the fun, however usually when a guy pulls out his knife and I am not in the mood for a knife duel, I mow them down.

:laugh:

[TheDesert_Fox]

The knifing has a code of honor, never shoot him with a gun when approached, simply pull your knifing and have a duel of blades.

Or go to "knife" servers with a shotgun and make havoc! So many people say things like "You can't kill on gun servers so you come here" and "blahblah, I stats pad, ur a noooob, Desert_Fox listens no longer, ack, he shot me in the face, wahhh!" to which one must only reply "I'll report you to BF RoE" and it's case closed. ;)

But no, there are no rules, unless you're a fool, this is modern combat, be modern!

[starjax]

Finally got around to getting my big knife yesterday (collectors badge). I'm not a knifer. I'd rather shoot you with the shotgun (my new favorite toy).

[TrooperJac]

I too have my knife gold - no more taking risks :D

Still pull out the tagger from time to time. When you turn a corner and see a prone soldier looking the other way you just can't resist it.

I'm trying to force myself to pull out the pistol instead. Need another 50 or so pistol kills before pistolier gold. Wow that's gonna be fun 8|

That's my favorite thing to do! I see someone in the middle of nowhere, and then drive up to them with the turret pointed right at their head. Then I'll type in something along the lines of "lonely feeling, huh" - wait 2 or 3 seconds for it to sink in, then BLAM!!!

...my knife code is the same as yours though. Someone runs up to me with a knife, they get a facefull of lead.

[BEE_GrimReaper]

Two things to remember:

1. Never bring a knife to a gunfight.
2. Bringing a gun to a knifefight on the other hand is not the dumbest thing to do.

OT: funny thing is: I do have that frigging collectors dagger but still haven't even tried to go even for the basic knife badge

[amashinga]

You paid for the game, whatever you feel like doing is cool. If you feel like knife fighting, pull out a knife, if you feel like gunning, shoot him.

If it is one guy, I sometimes engage in a knife fight, but if the goal is to take a flag, capture a silo, take out a goliath, the quickest way to achieving that objective is usually knife vs primary weapon for me.

Ugh, Amen to every point. This pathetic obsession of the general community with "honorable knife fights" and "codes" and "laws" regarding a knife contest is downright sad. I use my knife if it is in my best tactical interest to remain relatively silent (i.e. flanking a group of 3 or 4 closely packed enemies. Gunfire generally prompts the three I am not busy with to turn around and ventilate me.) I also use it if I know I have blindly snuck up on someone, like a sniper with tunnel vision. It has no element of style, it is merely a way to conserve ammunition and kill quietly and quickly.

You know what I do when someone charges at me with a knife? I remain calm, aim, and put two shots between their eyes with a Baur. Don't expect your choice of a melee weapon to in any way alter my offensive strategy in this particular case.

You have just intentionally removed your only means of killing me at range. Expect me to capitalize on your stupidity and kill you. Screw your 'code'.

You, sir, is not a gentleman. But that's your choice and perfectly fine. I also agree with many on these forums that you paid for the game and can play the way you want. (Within reason!)

But parking a tank right in front of an enemy soldier and just staring at them is..... Evil. :D It happened to me once. I just stared back and went :hi:. Then I tried to kill the tank with some harsh language and a Defib. (Medic gallore) :rolleyes:

[Diamond621]

A gentlemen? Pardon me, good sir :laugh: , but I was under the impression that Battlefield 2142 revolves around a global war for survival on a post-apocalyptic ice ball. Chivalry means very little when one is a frozen pile of flesh lying in the snow. What you call 'not being a gentleman', I call 'playing intelligently' and capitalizing on my opponent's weakness if they are foolish enough to present it to me.

You can be the dead gentleman. I'll be the living war hero :p

[WiBu]

As I always play sniper I don't really have an opportunity to turn around and fire a hail of bullets at a knife wielding madman right behind me. What I do do though is either fire a quickly scoped shot at his body and whip out the pistol or whip out my RDX, plant one whilst running away and explode it soon after. Both methods are pretty effective and I've had my fair share of flaming because of it.

In other words, if you're trying to knife me I wont be a gentleman and play fair; I don't like dieing and I want to kill you in the most risk free way I can so I'm going to shoot you or blow you up.

[Jivemonkey]

The whole point of knifing is that it is supossed to be difficult. In order to get the bragging rights from a knife kill, one should have to earn a knife kill. If one is sneaky enough to pull a knife kill off, then that individual deserves to brag, so it should be acceptable to shoot at an individual who wishes to stab you.

[nemesis908]

Only an idiot would run straight at someone with their knife out, and expect them to do the same.

[RangerXML]

Very simple rule: Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

[dirtywork]

When a player runs you with their knife out .... the idiot, the active-cammo wearing/sprinting out in the open/high pitch buzzing/I heard you coming from 40 meters a way/overzealous tagcollector.

That player deserves a spray of 1/2 dozen Tungsten core, caseless rounds to the face.

Just because we all wear ice-skates at our ball doesn't mean that we can't dance the sweet tango of close combat. :D Oh, and what made you think I would be the one to die? :D

Better yet, I get this sensation of great accomplishment whenever I win a knife duel, and a sensation of righteous defeat whenever I loose. But people seem to be very touchy when it comes to loosing their dogtags. Even if people call me idiot and "one who doesn't play intelligently" I will still accept each and every challenge for a duel. Reason? I just love a good CQC, no matter the outcome.

Very simple rule: Don't bring a knife to a gun fight.

Bah, with all due respect, the saying should be: Don't bring a knife to a armourfight. For some reason, knifing a walker in it's knees doesn't destroy it. :rolleyes: What where Dice thinking?

[Blak4dr]

Just fill the sucker with lead. He is actually the noob for getting caught at trying to knife you.

He failed miserably and tried to make you feel bad about it. There is no rule except that a dead is never the winner. Just a lack of skill on his part. Too bad for him.

Next time you are in the same situation, do the same thing !!!!!

[Ezekiel]

There is some sort of code!

Pisses me off is someone runs at me with a knife so i think, may as well have a knife fight, so we dance around a bit, then he pulls out his gun, the bloody noob. Only thing is most times they pull out their gun to try and shoot me, they are easier to hit, as they arent trying to avoid you as much, or you could really piss them off, and bunny hop around them in circles until they have to reload then knife em lol

ps: that is the only time i will accept bunny hopping!

If one is sneaky enough to pull a knife kill off, then that individual deserves to brag, so it should be acceptable to shoot at an individual who wishes to stab you.

The only thing is now it takes about 4 hits to kill someone, if it always killed in 1 hit i would be too good with it, the amount of times i hit ppl before it actually registers.

[Ezekiel]

I have had fun with the knife fights, sometimes the guy I am trying to knife pulls out his knife and joins in the fun, however usually when a guy pulls out his knife and I am not in the mood for a knife duel, I mow them down.

:laugh:

people like you who annoy me, he could easily kill you but decides to have some fun so you switch to your weapon, suppose that's cos you suck at the game!

[lt.wolfowitz]

lol eze, I always do that, if i'm really not the in the mood (which isn't often tbh) i will just pull out my main weapon and mow em down xD

[MechaManguskahn]

I am absolutely horrible at knife fighting. I think I am 0-5 in direct knife fighting. Plus if I am in a situation when I am behind someone, I don't even bother switching to a knife. I just blast him with my rifle without pausing because I would be sniper food if I stop.

Oh yeah, if you start running at me with a knife, I will stab you. With bullets.:D

[Lucky Luke]

I understand the fact that in most cases its not safe to pull out your knife. Still i find very entertaining wait behind corner, Uav above my head, and charge 1-3 enemy soldiers exactly that time they are about to pass me. Stab all of them in their faces. Its so satisfiing! And also humiliating for my victims :D. Another example: When i see a proned enemy laying behind corner or another cover. I hide myself for a moment, switch to dagger, than charge like crazy on him, going prone immediatly and stab, stab him in tha face muahaha :D. I can easily rack up 5-9 knife kills per round :D. Nevertheless when this game has been launched, there were more knife fights, also when you approached someone with knife poeple seemed to give knife duels more then nowadays. In most cases i rather wield my gun than knife, but in those cases when i know where the enemy is, and he is unaware of me, ill try my best to get that damn dog tag,its so shiny and pretty you know :D. I want them all!!! :D.

[xslaneyx]

i love tricking people into chasing me with their knives thinking i dont know they are behind me then all of a sudden i turn around, whip my gun out n mow em down. Then again im a bit of a fiend for knifing. got 22 in one round last night lol :)

[RazorThin]

This is shortly followed by something along the lines of "P*ssy f*ckin' Noob shooting me. Use your f*cking knife ya f*cking NOOB" or something along those lines. Followed by an attempted kick by him and his weasle buddies.
gotten...was kinda proud!

There are no rules in war! You have two options; win or lose!

If someone comes at me with a knife I will decide, based on the circumstances, whether to knife fight or mow down. If i'm a siper and I spot the enemy sneaking up on one of my teammates, I will protect my own and take him down before he swipes! I have done that many times! A couple have returned the favor and protected me. No rules in war!

If I am engaged in the "knife fight dance of death" and one of my own mows down the enemy, that's OK. No Rules in war!

If I am lying down and I hear the "uncloak sound" and mow down the enemy before he gets the chance to take my tags, that's ok. No rules in war!

If I see one of my mates in the "knife fight dance of death" I will take out the enemy so he can better focus on the task at hand. No rules in war!

The more experienced (leathal) a player you become, the less you care about whinner's.

Thank for your tags and your cooperation!

[s4biturbo]

i am one who believes that there can be honor in war and if presented with a blade, i will draw mine as well. if however that lowly person decides to draw his weapon and shoot me after engaging me for a knife fight, he goes on a list. I will not rest until i have his tags. it has taken me many rounds and several days at times but I will always get his tags. on the other side of this argument, if i catch someone trying to take my tags and i am off guard, he gets some lead. i am certainly not going to just hand them over or risk pulling my knife unless i know i have enough time to properly defend myself. But i do look for opportunity's to knife people as much as possible. its just way more satisfying knowing i knifed some dude holding a heavy machine gun or assault rifle, and now have proof of his humiliation.

Right the f:censored:k on! Sums it all up. But if I'm trying to hit something w/ the pilum and I hear the de-cloak; I whip that b!tch around and hit him w/ it for a non-res-able death. Then pull out my knife and run over to his face and take a couple swipes while hitting the "I need a ride" and "Thank you"
whilst bouncing up and down on his corpse.

They've successfully tricked you into intentionally removing your only means of defeating them at range. They deserve to kill you, and you deserve to die for being so foolish.

Use the knife to conserve ammunition and in situations where you wish to remain relatively undetected. That is all.

If someone charges at you with a knife, simply aim and shoot them. As an earlier post aptly put it, this is war, not a scene from Gladiator, and there are no rules. This is the 22nd century, and if you approach me with a melee weapon from range, expect me to make you pay for your tactical error in judgment. The knife is a very situational weapon, and if you wrongly attempt to use it in situations outside of the ones it is designed for, expect to be killed by more skilled and more mature players with a greater degree of professionalism than you.

I have always loved that movie scene to death. I like the one in the Temple of doom when he tries to do the same thing just to realize that his gun is gone:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Anyway, that sums it up. I take my knife out when I'm in a playful mood. If I get shot, too bad for me.

Finally, a dedicated knife-wielder that is actually level-headed. As for me, if there is an easier way to kill you (with exception to hacks, glitches, etc.) I will use it. If you pull out your knife and I am standing next to a unmanned walker, you better run because I'm gonna squish ya.
