the only thing is there is a perk, Dexterity that will make you climb ladders and mantle over obstacles, such as gates, 50% faster than normal. You can also aim faster after sprinting and recover quicker from melee strikes.

After seeing some of your coments about it being changed and there being different types of knifes i thought i would have alook on the BO2 forums and i found this:


Default Knife takes 2 swipes to kill, you need to put it away, and take it back out like usual.

Tactical knife takes 4 swipes to kill, as long as you are pushing the melee button however, it will keep knifing

Tactical hammer takes longer to get out, takes 4 swipes to kill, you need to put it away and take it back out like usual, but against riot shields and machines it takes only 1 swipe to destroy.

Throwing knifes Start with 4, fast to get out, fairly accurate, but takes 2 to kill and is ranged

Tomahawks Start with 2, slow to get out, fairly innacurate, and takes 1 to kill and is ranged

Ballistic knife [Disallows use of equipment] A tactical knife in one hand, while a ballistic knife is in the other. You start with 2 ballistic knives, and they kill in 1 shot. These knives take a moderate time to get out. (With Bladesman on, you start with 3 ballistic knives and one ballistic knife in each hand.)


None of us can be 100% sure untill the game is released, but my guess is that if you can't 1hit with a knife then Activision won't be copying infinitywards idea of games like infected.

I'd say there about. 60% damage just to ensure the person who has been stabbed doesn't regenerate health before the second stab

This is false - knives are still one hit kills. This was confirmed a while ago.

Like i said beforeits what on the net can't be 100% but by the look of the yt vid they arn't 1 hit kill

I'm guessing that what you saw was the guy getting a hit marker with something (an exploding barrel, a flash, a stun, a clay more, etc) and missing with his knife. Theres tons of knife gameplay where the knife is a one hit kill.

I didn't get this forum from that gameplay alone, its on the blackops2 forums aswell

i saw the footage but i think it is just a knife fail, i dont see a hitmarker at all. and the knife dont hit him that good

ye 1 knife for a regular melee. and they did it exactly for the fact of panic knifing.

Tbh i dont care what they do with the knife, i never use it anyway, since i play on tactical the trigger is always closer.
