I was getting so annoyed by people knifing that I decided to write a little guide specifically against it. Hopefully one day everyone will have the skill to use a gun.
The Enemy: These idiots run around like mindless drones using only knifes. Some people will even use the care package to run faster! Watch out for those guys. I'll always give them bad rep. Anyway a knifer will always use the perks Marathon, Lightweight, and Commando. They will either use a sniper rifle or an SMG as their main weapon to run at maximum speed. Most of the time they'll use a throwing knife for their equipment, so be careful! And of course, they will always use a handgun with the tactical knife attachment for quicker melee recovery. The UAV is a major help to them as they can find you anywhere on the map unless you have Cold-Blooded.
Countermeasures:
Heartbeat Sensors - Knifers will always use Commando as their third perk so they will always be visible to heartbeat sensors. Adapting this tactic can let you know were the knifer is before they can see you.
Shotguns - 99% of the time, shotgun > knife. They pack a punch at close range so they are an excellent countermeasure against knifers. The AA-12, M1014, Ranger, and Striker are all good choices because they are all automatic/semi-automatic.
Thermal - Since a knifer will always use Lightweight as their second perk, they are vulnerable to thermal sights. This can help spot a knifer with a ghillie suit on a grassy map such as Wasteland or Underpass.
Range - This is your most powerful tool against knifers, since they are basically harmless and long range. I always use an assault rifle or a sniper rifle to take them out before they get too close. If you know someone on the enemy team is knifing, try to stick together with your team and not by yourself in the open.
Claymore Positioning - Never put a claymore too close to the doorway, as the knifer can almost always run past it and kill you anyway. Plant your claymores away from the door frame but out of sight.

Yeah and if you have oma on you can change to a class that has c4 and throw it beside it and they will not escape the blast it creates.

And don't wear it out.
You really have no idea what you're talking about... I'm not just saying that because I used to be knife only, you really are mistaken in a lot of that thread.
You use the word "Always" too much. Like when you say they always use commando. Since OnlyUseMeBlade is strongly against Commando, and he's pretty much the most well-known MW2 knifer, people began to stop using it.
Care package, as somebody said before, no longer makes you run faster. And when it did make you run faster, people didn't "Always" use Tactical Knife because it really doesn't help when you have a care package.
Just because they won't have Cold Blooded doesn't mean Thermal will be good. Thermal is pretty much for finding people hiding cross-map. Knifers are only a threat at close range.
Also, just because someone knifes doesn't mean their any less reputable. (You shouldn't necessarily -REP them unless they deserve it for something else they did!)

When did this occur? Please inform me because i have never seen a stop in people using Commando. It seems that i can't join a game without %50 of the people using commando.

a very good method is dropshoting most of time they will miss the knife so you get a chance to kill them at close range fell free to add to your post
