Is it just me?

Just wondering if anyone else accidently presses R3 to melée whilst aiming? I do it at least once a game especially when moving the right stick quickly whilst aiming down the sights. It's very fraustrating

Re: Is it just me?

Never been an a probklem for me but I was watching my flatmate doing the run the pit challange last night and he was doing it quite a bit.

I guess your R3 button could be a bit loose from knifing loads of people on MW. I know people kill L3 buttons from sprinting.

Re: Is it just me?

Yes, about 1 or 2 times a game. So frustrating when you do it while your opponent is watching and shoots you while your swinging the knife. Got to admit it looks kind of funny on the kill cam

Re: Is it just me?

Depends which controller I use, oe my older one the thumbsticks are more work and it happens fairly often, newer one is fine.

Re: Is it just me?

Do you guys get many knife kills?

For some reason I'm so slow to react when I'm close to someone and never think to knife them!!

Re: Is it just me?

Used to do this all the time then my mate came round for a sesh and he remaps the knife button to the crouch button and vice versa.

So instead of watching yourself die while flapping like a girl on the killcam you die with dignity cos it actually looks like you are a semi skilled player that's tried to duck down and get a shot off

I'm the same, though I am getting better these days. I often do have to remind myself to knife people rathen than spinning round and round trying to shoot someone who is really close.

Seriously don't know how to teach myself to knife rather than shoot! Was the same on COD4.

Get annoyed with myself after being killed by someone knifing me while I'm trying to shoot them but then the same thing will happen 5 mins later!!

Re: Is it just me?

I do this all the time

I may have to try the remap button option...although i suspect I will just stick with my automatic shotgun when i'm running into a room
