OK I did some searching but didn't find my question.

My question is...once both player's see each other and decide to fight it out with knives what are some good tips to get the kill?

I have recently decided to start knife fighting and yesterday I was engineer and I rounded a corner and there was a sniper running right at me about 20 meters away. When he saw me he instantly drew his knife and started hopping and weaving towards me.

I had the pump action shotgun and usually in the past I would have used it and probably won that fight. But this time I made a quick decision to accept his offer of a knife fight and pulled mine. I ran towards him and started hopping and weaving also.

We ended up hopping and circling and slashing at each other like crazy, this went on for about 20 secs with niether of us getting the blade home. Then I guy from his team runs around the corner and shoots both of us killing him first and me as I lunged at him trying to stab him.

OK what can I do to win that fight quickly? Anything or just hop and stab? Maybe prone and stab? I thought of that but was afraid I would miss and he would jump on me and get a easy kill.

On a side note my wife was watching the fight and she went nuts! lol she was screaming GET HIM! GET HIM! lol:)

Thanks for any tips from you expert knife fighters!

I find that going in circles and running at them, then just as you come in range, start clicking like mad, then you;ll probably get him, and if he is right in front of you, try to go prone and move to one side (which to him will make you seem as if your rolling) then jab him in the ankles Hope this helps.

the stabbing motion itself takes a little bit of time, so you have to get a feel for how long it is. once you have this, just try as best you can to get behind them, then get them in the back of the head

I find sprinting at them when they are fixing to come down from a hop and stabbing works good for me or if they are the bunny hopping/ dolphin diving ass holes that i hate to face in ever match i have no freaking idea b/c ill unload a clip and pistol mag and not hit shit.

jumping helps, and I crouch as I stab sometimes, seems like it gives you more range but I dunno

i dont think jumping helps (at least for me) because you need all the stamina you can get

If you see em go prone, jump on em as fast as you can. Prone knife = Easy kill

Also, perfect the move up jumping up and over the other person. If you can do this well, you're behind them and they don't have their bearings. Slash em then.

Thanks guys, I'm going to try these nice tips. Here's what I took from it.

1.time the stabbing motion so you know just how long it takes and range
2. get behind them, jump over them and get them disoreintated.
3.stab while crouching to possibly increase range of stab.
4. maybe go prone and roll/straffe then stab.
5. be careful going prone because you may give them the upper hand(exactly what I was worried about)

I'm gonna keep working on it...I do wish that guy would have let us finnish, but hey, he saw a kill!

I do have ONE knife kill! lol I got it the other day when I rushed a guy he saw me coming and everything but he panicked and just started running. It was pretty cool he ran right into a corner and had no where to go and I stabbed him. He was just a corporal though.

To add to your list, make the fight as fast as possible, because 99% of BF2 players will just kill the person of the opposite team when there's a 1-on-1 knife fight. Can never get a decent knife fight anymore...So sad...

LAWL @ ToR.

I don't jump at all. No more jump/shoot remember?

I prefer alternating zig zag patterns, sudden crouch or prone lunges. 'Bobbing' and sudden proninng is one of my favourites

ok try this, run at your target and one you get close...

1. Press "Z" and stab as your going down

Now since the patch you cant press space bar to get up quick, but you can press "ctrl"

So. RIGHT AFTER you lie down press "ctrl"

2.Press "ctrl" right after

3. Press "Shift" to gain distance on your targed

4. Repeat, makes you almost imposible to hit and it works good for knifes.

it takes some practice but try it out.

i personally find that running directly at the person and then proning for the kill.... for me i find that the prone action gives a little boost of distance plus their frontal target just shrank giving u valuable seconds for the stab. hope it helps

My favourite move is to let them lunge at me, sidestep, and when they're on the ground jump on top of 'em
