Knife and grenade

[Evil Tim]

I come from a distant land where games that are crazy enough to have alt-fire modes normally don't have ironsights.

Yeah, I hear there's about three of those games in total these days.

I don't know about that quick-key business with grenades. On one hand it makes everything much faster when I want to blow up someone around a corner. But on the other hand, it makes me very prone to reflexively tossing one out if I get surprised. It makes the grenade a little more trivial and takes the strategic element out of their use when everyone is just throwing them around like snowballs.

In short, grenade quick keys enable lots and lots of nade spamming.

As for the knife... I'll take a quick melee button over having to equip it any day.

i miss the good old days of BF2 where you'd end up in an epic knife fight with two or more people strafing around one another constantly stabbing the air trying to kill the other guy.
i really hate the insta button press knife kills of today, its rather unfair that i could come round the corner with a shotgun, and as quickly as i can press the trigger, the other player has lept 2 meters to jab a knife in my eye

I like the way Crysis 2 did the 'nades... Maybe that's just because they're so damn pretty effective

Although "double tap weapon change button to equip 'nades" sounds like the most nightmareish control ever Crysis 2 actually pulled it off... There was probably some demon magic involved somewhere along the line though...

I just use the G key in Crysis 2, double tapping 1 is bleugh.

I'm sort of tired of the quick knife and grenade. Not only it becomes a panic button but can also result in accident use or spamming.
