How to become expert with Knives?
« on: February 09, 2008, 12:23:10 pm »

Go to a knife only server, practice for ages. Snipe & slice may help with barrett skills too.
Just practice alot!

Learn the arc to the knife, and learn to time your throws perfectly. Lead the enemy. After you learn the arc of the knife on bots, start imagining a curved line between you and the enemy that the knife follows. Begin imagineing the knife traveling along there and then all you have to do is line up an enemy along that line and let rip.

I don't recommend knife only servers, because it'll only teach you to fight knives. You need to learn against people shooting you. I'd recommend just using it in like a DM or fight bots.

Duck Boi is right about using Snipe and Slice. It teaches you how to use knives and how to predict arc and other such things. Once you get good with it on S&S, go to another server with all weapons and practice there.

S&S is not going to benefit you any more than just joining a normal CTF game and getting some real practice in. If gathers are too hard, try Fractured CTF, or U13 (if it's working).

Always fully charge the knife, unless you don't have time. If he's on the ground and he sees you, try to get him in the air, so he can't change direction quickly. Also, get a lot of practice with moving around the maps. Speed is essential to becoming good, and also, it makes you harder to hit, while your knife arc is pretty much unaffected.

Oh, and this might sound like common sense, but learn to predict whether you can actually hit your opponent by the time you throw the knife. If he's half a screen away and moving further back (left or right, obviously you can still hit him if he's beneath you), don't bother trying to knife him. Look for enemies that are coming toward you, and try to maintain a height advantage, as knifing from below can be rather difficult.

Just practice in public servers so people in gathers dont get pissed off with you.

If you are really bad in using knifes then practice against bots. then go on only knife servers.

I suggest to play against bots with only the knife enabled.  Play several rounds and once you become skilled enough with it, try it with all the weapons enabled.

Don't ever waste your knife throw, don't just chuck it in the general direction of your enemy. Only throw it when you're sure you can nail him. A good throw will save your life.

The Arc! The arc of the knife is much like the m79 use the m79 to try and master the arc once you have done that you have pretty much mastered the m79 and the knife :D

Practice. There is no secret with the knife, just know the arch and power.
