honestly porter...your whole idea is petty & girly, I mean...if you dont have a issue with it then why make a thread?? for petty attention...wanting attention is a female trait.
There is nothing wrong with the knifing...panic knifing however is the only "overpowered" thing in the CoD series...I think u have the wrong idea of what panic knifing really is, panic knifing is when you hit a corner and u immediately start getting shot at (screen turning red) & you somehow LUNGE 6 feet and get the kill.
Most of the time your player disappears & the killcam shows a HITMARKER after getting stabbed. Thats panic knifing...where instead of shooting, you knife...hoping to get that lunge animation.
Which is why you often see players try to knife you 10 ft away & 100% of the time you will hear them getting called noob for knifing when they panicked.

. Unlike most people here I don't just make threads selfishly. Meaning I'm not going to get killed by Deadman's Hand 1 away from a Osprey or in general and feel the need to come here making some, "OMG, I hate MW3 crybaby thread. I don't have much issue with knifing because I look at it as the guy reacting quicker and me stupidly trying to shoot a guy 3 feet away when I could have knifed.
I also tend to counter "panic" knifing by drop shotting or moving away from the enemy as I shoot in close quarters... Although I'm sure just constantly bitching about it is an easier solution...
That being said, just because I don't feel it as being as big of an issue as people here seem to doesn't mean I can't offer an objective point of view AND an intelligent idea to stop "panic" knifing. But I'm sure just ranting is an easier solution. And how do you even know the enemy is "panicking" as opposed to just reacting really fast? Lunges and people knifing through my bullets are ****ing annoying and watching people think to knife first from 10 ft away is funny... However, I guarantee you the amount of times people knife through my bullets are very small. It doesn't happen anymore often than a guy shooting me while I'm around a corner.
I never claimed "panic" knifing didn't happen, just the amount of times it happens is a lot less frequent than people here believe. It's a damn knife. I just view things differently. If a camper kills me 3 times in a row, I move on to avoid giving him a KS or wonder why the hell can't I not kill this lame ass dude and call for backup... People here would rather beg IW to make some stupid mechanism that kils you if you sit still for 3 seconds.
