Can now be stunned by the knife's alt. fire. Anyone else noticed this? Can be pretty useful if you're at low health with a couple of 'em right behind you and you don't have time to switch to the 9mm.

No, too busy getting destroyed by speeding Gorefasts and creepy Crawlers.

But I'll definitely have to try it out on those Stalkers, thanks for the heads up.

Do you mean, bent over standing still stunned?
Or recoiling so thay they cannot attack you stunned?

'cause as a commando, I consider myself an expert in stalkers.
The standing still one is easy with an AK or the Scar, but doing it with a knife is news to me, maybe a 'zerker can do it, but I cannot.

As for the recoiling one, they can attack while playing the recoil animation, so that they don't even do the attack animation but deal damage to you. I learned that one the hard way, lol.

i believe its called flinching animation

recoil is what happens when you shoot a firearm

re⋅coil

 /v. rɪˈkɔɪl; n. ˈriˌkɔɪl, rɪˈkɔɪl/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [v. ri-koil; n. ree-koil, ri-koil] Show IPA –verb (used without object) 1. to draw back; start or shrink back, as in alarm, horror, or disgust.

For a start he doesn't shrink back (he's still the same size) and i'm sure he's not in alarm....it's a glitch animation and therefore morelike a flinch....it's not re coil, it is re-coil go check the ENGLISH Dictionary fool.
