Someone on Kotaku commented best. Cat helmet plus Night "goggles" = My cats will rule the neighborhood! (not exact quote but something to that effect)

I hate the knife throwing. The game is about realism, all those little details that make get you feeling you're really in battle. But come on, knife throwing?! I can't see a Marine throwing knives at somebody.. It's a really stupid addition in my opinion..

But Spec Ops are trained to throw knives, which is what you are in CoD(OpFor, Spetsnaz).

So it is a realistic addition. Practical? I dont know.
I wonder if the Spetsnaz will get the ballistic knife, now that would be awesome.

Bube · 09-07-2009, 02:42 PM

Bah. I still think it doesn't fit the game.

Maybe in MW3 they could put in some acrobatic kicks and punches and stuff. Turn it into a Bond game.

Combine 017 · 09-07-2009, 04:54 PM

They're Spec Ops, not spys.

Maybe it would be called Modern Spyfare?

Standard Spetsnaz training....

I've never heard of throwing knives being used before. I've done some time, read a lot of books, and it's never so much as popped up. I would be surprised to find it as a part of any unit's standard training.

It's got Hollywood written all over it. COD4 has taken many liberties to make the game fun, and it shouldn't be considered real or accurate by any stretch of the imagination.

From Wikiedia.

Quote:

Military personnel (usually spec-ops) seldom use "normal" knives for throwing, because lack of repeatability makes training and certification difficult. The French GIGN's knife has a liquid mercury vial hidden inside to help automatically orient the blade forward when thrown. The Soviet Spetznaz (special forces) throwing knife is actually a blade gun, which uses a very strong coil spring hidden in the handle to propel the blade forward on the press of a button. The holster carries extra blades, because hitting a tree or other wooden object embeds the blade so much, removal by human strength may be impossible.

They are used. Like I said, its not very practical, but they do use them.
