The knife

see i coulda sworn the jab was the primary because you couldn't get an insta decap with just one jab but you could with the slash, also the slash attack wasn't as quick as it is now.
actually when i knife right now, my primary and secondary attacks are both the slash mode of course, but i noticed that when i click primary-fire (left mouse) i can slash quickly, but when i click alternate-fire (right mouse) it's delayed like a power strike from the axe/machete/katana etc...
edit: you know come to think of it, wasnt there an old attack where you would like grab at the back of the zeds' head and decape from behind it??? maybe i'm imagining it idk

not sure if were on the same page but heres how it was in the mod AND retail:
primary is quick slash
alternate is a downwards stab/jab
i resorted to looking it up on youtube for visuals because i can't remember fully what it was since it's been like, a year lol

you can see that there's cleary two animations for the primary attack, the slash and the front jab and they are pretty quick. if you notice it looks like (and from what i remember) it was random whether or not the primary was the jab or the slash and you couldn't really control which you used.
but like i said in the edit portion of my previous post, wasn't there another animation with a downward stab from the back?
edit: FOUND IT

i guess that was the alternate attack and the other two were mixed into the primary, which would explain why i remember seeing all three animations.

" wonder the same. some things were removed because i imagine TWI thought it was either cheesy or unrealistic. like for example, when pulling out your knife in the mod, you would flip the knife in the air. cool but not really realistic, so i wonder if the same is to be said for the brutal jabbing motion that we originally had. again, cool, but is it realistic for someone to do during a knife fight?? but then again, is it realistic for someone to be yelling, "LOOOOOOOOOADS A MONEEEEEEY" during the zombie apocalypse?"
you are an elite british squad of soldiers, and the snipers are using a crossbow, i think TWI has bigger problems then the voice clips...

yeh, some of those things im surprised that they made it to retail. i thought for sure that the crossbow would be changed into a barret 50 cal or something dumb.
In sense it is a zombie survival game, so of course they may not be equipped by the best. AND ALSO. They come here with weapons the government would probably equip them with... > 9MM and Knife. The trader is basically a civilian in the middle of a ****ing horde of zombies, and well sells weapons she probably "found" sooo in sense a crossbow would be possible to find
.That's realism
do you honestly think she isnt going to be able to find a damn sniper lol?
i mean, she has infinite guns, couldnt she just trade like 1 mil ebr's for like 20 snipers or something. that's another thing, the guns she has should be limited, so you can go and drop like ebrs and crossbows and nade launchers everwhere and spam them.

Yes, I'm sure AA-12s would be just lying about in piles. In England. When as far as I know they've barely (if at all) been issued in the US for decades.
That's what kinda bugs me about the Level Up patch. All the fancy military hardware kinda takes away the feeling of using whatever weapons you can find to survive. :\
Ah well.
nuuuuuu you know too much about guns.
Here's my other theory: US fails versus specimens so they all drop their shotguns.
To hell with realism! I want to be able to stab a specimen's head off again!
And the characters you play as are the surviving military after the entire first army got wiped out, so it makes sense that not all their resources are available.
