Recently (especially today), I've been noticing that I've resorted to shock paddles a lot more than knife. This may be a sign of medic-whoring (it probably is), but in your opinioin, are defibs better than knives? Like, last round I had 4 defibs and just 1 knife (when the defibber ran out) - I would've had two but there was a bug. Generally when you stab someone in the balls it kinda hurts.

Defibs. although I would use knives, the amount of times I've stabbed someone with no effect and being killed before being able to pull my gun out.. bah. Dooesn't happen to me with defibs. Although I very rarely knife people. Just put a bullet in their head and get on with it.

Killing with the paddles is more of an insult to the opposing player, so you could just use em' to annoy and also better range, the knife is better though, more stabs.

Knife is WAY better, but defib is much more of an insult, so I've been trying to remember to use those more.

I think the defib has more range than knife. AND you get much better accuracy with defib (60+%).

You have 316 knife kills and you use it rarely? What were you doing, stat padding?

Got more kills with knife than paddles - but voted for paddles coz it kills instantly - knife can take a couple of hits & is more embarrassing for yr opponent LOL

no, I learnt what I wrote in the first post: knifing just gets yourself killed. Took me a while to resist the temptation of stabbing people

Shock paddle advantage is the range (which is conic, so the farther away (to a certain point, of course) the less you have to 'aim') but there's the shout and the recharge.

However, I've found it much easier to paddle a guy who's shooting me than to knife him. I've knifed a guy once who's been shooting me. Paddles? 400-500. Another 200 of sneak-up kills.

No offense warhawk333, but people really need to learn the difference between 'Deaths from' and 'Deaths with'.

I prefer the knife if they can see me coming, but if I'm sneaking up on a sniper or something, or someone that has their back turned to me, I'll whip out the paddles, shock them, and teabag them until they respawn. Good times

The knife IS better than the defibs. by far, but I prefer using defibs.

I used to use defibs only, but since 1.2 the charge meter is stupid and i've had to resort to knives.

Zap them and fry their hearts (Defib)	45%	45% - 37
Cut them to pieces (Knife)	52%	52% - 43
Don't know	2%	2% - 2
Total: 82
