As I've said before, it's a knife at the end of the day, we all have one. Just because one person may be better at panic knifing than another doesn't mean knifing needs some overhaul. Most knife deaths I take are from people knifing in the back...Most of the knife kills I get, are usually right up close where the enemy panics and doesn't know what to do, so he tries to shoot and I knife him...Or he's sitting in a corner by a door, and because of lag or whatever his reaction time is so slow I can lunge in and kill him.
What they could do is make it so it doesn't auto lunge like it does. So maybe if you're running you get a lunge....I dunno, hopefully this appeases enough people...Not sure why they had to try and nerf the Gunship...If you can earn a 11 KS or lucky Care Package you deserve to dominate with the Gunship.
