Silence Knife
« on: August 20, 2012, 05:03:12 pm »
Isn't this the advantage of a knife? Silently eliminating an enemy. In this game however the sounds of switching, throwing and stabbing are way too loud. Any enemy with spas, ruger, deagles, barret, m79.. will hear me when taking it out already and fire faster than I can throw.

No, the advantage of a knife in Soldat is having a mobile, ranged 1-hit kill secondary. No one really bothers with stealth unless predator mode.

I think he meant knife in realistic, which I don't really play but imo it should be silent.

Yes, I was talking about the realistic mode, where you can sneak up from behind without being noticed - unless you switch to knife..

Your problem is unfortunately unsolvable. I think we can all agree that disabling the sound in realistic would suck. And if we'd just switch it to something quieter, player could simply replace it with something loud.

and i guess it's impossible to disable the sound for everyone else and leave it for the knifer?

This sounds possible. If there's no other solution I support your suggestion!

I don't agree with silencing it in normal mode, and especially not in realistic--if someone sneaks up behind you and kills you with the knife and you can't see or hear them, the only way you'll know how you were killed is if you look at the kill log. There should at least be an audible indicator that you got knifed.

That said, I don't personally care either way since I've been playing with sound turned off for over five years because all the gun noises just give me a headache after a few hours and they drown out my music.

Just had a possible solution idea.. Have switching to knife be a faster event (take less time), but still play a sound. Maybe also switching from fists (but that isn't directly a part of the solution). This would allow players to more quickly switch to knife then throw before the enemies are able to respond (except for those with very low lag and very low reaction time hehe).
