why at a choice as the additional weapon to not make also the choice of several types of knifes: combat knife, throwing knifes and etc?

Well throwing knifes and combat knife should be the same. You select the current combat knife as your secondary. "Fire" --> Stab and "Throw away weapon" --> Throw the knife

You should have like.. 3 knifes?

I agree. To stop it is necessary kombat knife.

How many knifes are possible to have at themselves in a reality?

Nice idea.

After reading several of these posts, I've come to realize that if these weapons were implemented, we'd basically have a 2D Goldeneye 007 for PC. [:P]

Is that necessarily bad? I liked Goldeneye. Now, if we could have a 2D Perfect Dark, that would own...:)

I'm not saying Goldeneye is bad. In fact, I'm quite a fan of 007 and his crazy antics.

And you're right - Soldat Perfect Dark style would own...

Yeah, combat knife should be able to stab and throw. 3 ammo sounds good, and the knife should drop a lot.

Excellent idea, the combat knife as it is now in its secondary weapon version is quite useless. It is close range with click to hit; instead it would be smarter to use the Chainsaw.

But I don't think you should limit the amounts of knives you can throw, just let there be a sort of cool down. And of course the throwing range has to be laughable or else people might use it as a real weapon and not as a secondary for special cases.

One hit one kill for a close combat situation, especially if someone is running at you with a chainsaw. Maybe two hit one kill would be more balanced, what do you think?

Another interesting element you could add is the throwing up of the knife and it falls to the ground and gets stuck in it. That way you can throw a knife into the air and it'll come down on an enemy soldier from above and penetrate his skull. Hard to explain but I hope you understand what I mean.

It is the best way to make the separate button for a throwing of knifes. And by button Change Weapon the player simply gets a knife.

I disagree with the second button choice.
I would prefer simply a throwing version of the knife.
Even though that would mean that you can't pick it up off the ground.

Wow good ideas people. I have heard more ideas about throwing knives than I have about losing the chainsaw, and I think it'd be great either way. It would be my primary weapon. Finally, someone else that watches Trigun.

Wow, knife shoot off and throwing with the drop weapon button.
I would go for that one.

You could divert the knife to a different direction or on another opponent with the bullets...
How about even going all the way and making it a more tactical weapon, throw it at a wall and it will serve as a platform to hold you for about 30 seconds. Remember all those sniping spots you wished you could reach but the Jetpack never could get you there?

There has to be some sort of reload to the weapon though, you shouldn't set limits on a secondary. You don't want it to be used offensively too much, then put a long cool down on it.
