KingCharizard I tend not to reply to your posts for 1 reason... you're not a reasonable person that thinks along the lines of a good CoD player. Don't get me wrong... there's nothing wrong with thinking outside of the box, there's nothing wrong with disagreeing a little. There's nothing wrong with knifing, hell... there's nothing wrong with Commando.... until level 29.
This post I'm going to point out a few things... it's not a fight, just me pointing out a few things I've seen in my 27+ days of playtime on MW2 (and yes I do have a life).
This is not true, While I usually agree with you this time I can't. I run with marathon, stopping power & commando, I use throwing knife n flash. I use the vector and spas. I have more spas kills and vector kills then commando kills.
Having more kills with a weapon doesn't change the fact that you're a Commando user, doesn't change the fact that you have to use that perk to get knife kills. I have over 2500 kills with the SPAS, if secondaries had camo then I'd have Red Tiger for my SPAS (and 40 headshots away from Fall). And yet I still die from Commando, I shoot at people, hit them and still die from it.
if you cant kill someone running at you with a knife, then it is YOUR fault, and if you are knifed out of a camping spot while lookin down a sniper scope, then shame on you for campin there too long, as you probably killed him
When the person lunges across the room or down a hallway to kill me with Commando when I hit the person then I'm not to blame, it's the people who put it in the game, and people who thinks it's an awesome perk to use. I've killed lots of people with Commando... I've also been killed lots of times by it. Many deaths I likely wouldn't have had if that person shot at me. Because a knife is a 1 hit kill, where a bullet isn't.
no i see what charizard is saying. it helps if you turn the corner and hes in your face because you now have a slight advantage on him. its not cheap in that situation. and its not lack of skil for tacknifing, but the opposite.
I only really knife when i turn a corner n someone is in my face... or I'm chasing someone n dont wanna shoot an unsilenced weapon... While others use commando for cheap kills it can be used responsibly...
David (parallelzero) touched on a point that both of you missed.... or maybe didn't want to reply to (there's an edit button, there's a reply button). Here's what he said
"
If someone is really "in your face" then regular knifing capabilities should be fine."
We've all played the game, so I want all of you to think of the map "Vacant". Picture this... you're going down a hallway and you turn the corner, and as both of you have said "there's an enemy in your face". Tell me how Commando will help you there?
Call me what ever u want cheap, horrible player, ect... But honestly I couldn't care less, I am not saying commando isn't cheap, but name a yellow perk that is worth using in place of commando, especially since i jump off roofs and ledges... I hate last stand. I see no need for ninja, I dont like steady aim, and scrambler is just a stupid perk... I think outta all my choices commando is the best yellow perk...
I agree that Commando is the best green perk until level 29 (when you get Ninja). I agree that Steady Aim is pointless because I don't hipfire. I agree that Last Stand is annoying and you might lose your kill or they kill themselves. Scrambler just tells the enemy "Hey..... I'm here. Better watch out for me!". And I also say Commando is a cheap crutch for players, should only be used by people who haven't unlocked Ninja, and is only used because they don't trust their skills with a weapon.
I don't have a prob with knives, I don't have a prob with silencers (since they're smart to use). If you want to call Stopping Power cheap or a crutch then by all means go on, I can see that side of the coin... even if you are calling out every pro CoD player (and I don't mean people who get lucky, I'm saying people who are damn good at the game) out there.
But I want you (and mooglehunter if you're there) to watch the vids below. This guy uploads vids to YouTube... and as his name says... he only uses his blade (a knife and a throwing knife). And you'll also find that he doesn't use Commando (in some of his earlier vids he used it, but he regrets using that cheap perk).

But however if i am horrible for using commando, aren't u just as bad for crying about people using commando? Seriously commando can be stopped. I've killed plenty of people trying to commando me. Only people who cry about commando are horrible players, I know its bad to be at 4 kills and get killed commando ive had it done to me myself and I didnt cry. However if you cant get to 5 kills easily you cry.. I am not saying it isn't cheap but just cause someone uses it doesn't mean their bad. Same goes for tubing. yeah it doesn't take much skill but its still in the game to be used, therefore you can use it aswell. Its not like the ppl using these cheap weapons have an actual advantage over you, you can do it too... why not give them a taste of their own medicne...
This is a quote from you a few posts ago
"Well camping noobs officially made me break my controller..."
So you broke your controller because you're a horrible player who can't kill people camping? I can kill people using Commando, I can people camping, I can kill people tubing, I can kill people camping with OMA tubes and Commando on. So what's your point? I'm a horrible player because I complain about a cheap perk in the game?
Would you like to see how horrible I am at the game? I don't normally do 1v1's but I would love to take you on in a 1v1 on MW2. We'll have a neutral host that way one of us doesn't get host advantage. We'll do it on a few different maps and agree not to sit in some dark corner and wait on someone to run by. We can use whatever weapon setup we want (I personally don't want to use tubes, but if you feel the need to do so then I have a class for it)... you can use Commando and show me how good a perk it is. We'll turn off killstreaks that way kills will be from us and not from something like a Pave Low. How does that sound?
I hope all of that wasn't too much for all of you to reply to.
