Yea that's what im talking about >> Its just too cheap most of the time.
Also the zombie with guns was most likely an admin with a skin playing. They do that some times for lawz and to screw with zombies.
@acolyte_to_jippity When i use my knife its also on certain maps were guns are pretty much less than effective at pushing away zombies so the slow knife attack is the only thing that can knock them off a ledge but again zombies with 6 foot knives >>. On average the little distance info that pop up after getting tagged is always around 0.8 to 2.0 meters WTF a zombie tagging someone at least a meter away from its actual knife model is bullshit.
At the very least give the humans the same exact knife range as the zombies to make it fair. Aprox. 0.8-1.2 meters should do well for both humans and zombies and that way it would stay balanced with neither side getting an unfair advantage leaving the rest to skill and luck.
The guy wasn't an admin Lucky lol. Pretty sure B1ackout was the only admin in server at the time if I'm not mistaken. It was just a random player who happened to spawn with guns and proceed to rape faces. In regards to the knife range, I think it's set up as a bit of an aid for the zombies as they are going against full-auto weapons in most cases.
Yea and I said it can stay that way just give the humans the same knife range somewhere between 0.8 - 1.1 meters that way the zombies still keep their aid against auto weapons but humans who are skilled enough can knife them at the same range that they do. :/
The Zombie with gun glitch is odd. I witnessed it first hand the other day. A person who was not an admin became a zombie for multiple round with a para. he didn't shoot the Ct's he just destroyed their cades with the Para and raped them. It was fixed after we restarted the server. the knife thing has always been there, it has just become more silly as of recent.
The problem with knife range will never be fixed. It has to deal with the zombie models themselves, lag and ultimately their speed.
1. There is always lag on a server, which is most of your long knifing problem.
2. This delay from your screen to their screen is quite significant even if you have 5 ping. If you have ever played a LAN game on two computers right next to each other you can obviously notice a delay in movement between them, and this is with the most direct connection between two systems possible.
3. This lag delay plus the zombies increased speed will make it seem like they are knifing you from far away, while on the zombies player's screen they are much closer than you the human are actually able to see.
4. If you have ever played zombie before and someone gave you the comment "nice sword fag" you will understand since on your screen it wil seem like you are directly next to your target, and would be generally confused about their bitching.
SO! My advice is to stop being a dumbshit running around trying to knife zombies, make a sufficient cade, and make sure you are standing far enough away. This server has been around for a long ass fucking time, if this issue wasen't fixed 4 years ago it will not be fixed now....SORRY!
I understand your points but their is no point in being as ass. >>
