maybe it was karma for me defending this game, but I got completely destroyed for hours tonight. just kept going back for more and getting pulverised. Maybe I was having a bad connection day or my fingers just weren't feeling up to the task but that was the worst I've felt at this game in ages.
I also noticed the first aspect of this game which just felt like cheating. after tonight I'd say it was broken.
tactical knife.
stupidest shit I have ever seen. there's no counter for it, I dunno if there was some kind of patch or changes made but I have never seen anything like it in any game ever, including this one, where I've seen tactical knives before but they seemed fine then, maybe people have just figured out how to use them properly.
these guys were whizzing around like the flash and there was no delay between stabs. Guys could regularly run at a group of us all trying to shoot him, and stab stab stab stab, no pause. It was like a streetfighter combo, dead before we could even adjust our camera or pull the trigger. With ninja equipped there was literally no defense against it. they'd be running into rooms from behind and clearing everyone out before you had any idea.
on maps like favela guys would stab someone in front of you, you'd chase him round a corner only for him to appear behind you and stab you before you know it cos he jumped on the roof and ran round and dropped back down.
check out the kills in this video, the double kill at 1.30 is an example of how fast this is, and it feels like its catching on because loads of people were using it tonight.

I've seen guys do well with knife classes before, but I always felt like I could counter them, or that they had lots of luck. But today I felt helpless it wasn't just the one guy in one game either. It was lots of guys in lots of different games.
half our matches were ruined by these guys dominating with this, the other half we had to deal with lame ass campers, who admittedly were really good but not very fun to play with.
many more nights like tonight and I think I will quickly move onto my next game. monstrous players that you just dont wanna play with, who have obviously spent days honing their skills and feel the need to boast about it afterwards combined with really boring tactics. I mean its sabotage, the bomb is off to the side somewhere and all these guys care about is sniping the opposite building on highrise or camping outside the windows waiting for us to come out to try and get the bomb. LAME.
People suck.
