True or False?

1) as a ghost, standing and holding S with your back against the wall will make you visible to other players

2) climbing up ladders with low FPS will be faster than high FPS

3) slashing a GR's legs while he's airborne will slow his movement momentum

4) knives are lighter and lets you move faster than axes

5) a default knife slash (left click) could kill you with 1 hit from full HP

6) stabbing (right clicking) with any melee will give a small brief movement speed penalty

7) the default knife is capable of slashing 5 times in under 1.500 seconds

8) ghosts move faster than GR even if they hold the same melee

9) body armour has more unique damage areas than no body armour

10) bunny hopping is easier with low ping than high ping

11) as a ghost, attacking while running or bunny hopping increases the damage of some melee weapons

12) it's possible to run through water without making a noise to the other team. (run = no slow walking, crouching, hopping)

13) GR can only hear the center of a ghost's breathe if his cross-hairs are pointed on the ghost

1) False: you become visible on your own screen, but other players can't actually see you. it will sound like you're running.



2) True: ever wonder why egy's fly up ladders and you move like a snail? it's because they have wooden PC's. no idea why the game is made this way. you can try it yourself by recording + hard-capping your fps at 20 for example.



3) True: you may have seen a video of a "super speed bunny hop" where some one leg's gets axe-slashed and they zoom around the map. but that was just a bug years ago. what really happens is they slow down and can even be stopped in mid-air under the right circumstances. you'll notice when you are trying to jump and juke an elite knife player say when you're reloading, you often won't get away because he hit your legs while you were jumping. once he gets the first slash to slow you, you're in a bad spot. SMG's and shotguns have the same effect.



4) False: the in-game stats show that the axe is heavier than the knife, but if you race the two, they will tie every time. i question whether there's any weight differences between any of the melees except katana. also knife footsteps are more frequent making it seem like they go faster. don't trust any of the website or in-game stats, it says the ak47 is more powerful than the dragunov too. and there's many other false info.



5) True: you'd be surprised how many people STILL don't know the knife 1-hits with a body stab. now i'm saying a SLASH could kill in 1 hit too? 2 words. Golden headshot. wouldn't recommend going for golden headshots though. it's super hard to pull off. only hackers have seemed to have mastered it. (notice when they use to use throwing knife hack, you'd die in 1 hit from golden headshot slashes?)



6) False: old myth. although it has been a while since i've heard some one claim it.



7) False: this isn't a great question to ask, oops. there are a lot of knife-inspired questions because i was thinking of doing a huge how-to-knife-properly-in-GM-guide. anyway, if you have godly timing, you could slash 5 times in exactly 1.5 seconds. but it's not possible to do it UNDER 1.5, or your knife will do the shank animation.



8) True: ghosts actually are faster than GR. i'm guessing they're 15% faster, but can't confirm.



9) True: A lot of people got this right and i don't know how. i just discovered this 2 weeks ago and i never heard of it before. some one was sneaking armour in a GM pug and i hit a weird number i've never seen before. the hitbox is right where the arm meets the body. i'll call it armpit even though it kinda isn't the armpit. if you hit that spot without armour, you'll do arm damage. it's like the game thinks the guys' arm has armour.



10) False: your screens movement control isn't connected with latency in crossfire. some games are, not CF. you can be kicked or disconnected and still bunny hop normally.



11) False: old myth again. back when people didn't understand knife damages and hitboxes. they'd occasionally 1 hit some one then wonder how they did it. there's 3 hitboxes on the torso. (doesn't include arms, armour, neck, legs) nothing changes the algorithm for determining damage numbers except weapon, armour and distance. and no, 1 extra inch will not change melee damage :p. back to the hitboxes, the weapon guides on the forums and youtube have 2 torso ratings. even they don't realize they're missing the "sweet spot" hitbox. the most damaging of the body shots for most weapons.



12) True: lots of people got this right. called the "chinese walk". but you're still moving at max speed. you can go in, out, across water without making a sound to you or any one else.



13) False: easy one for most people. years ago, a patch came out that changed the center of breath. don't know if it was on purpose or if it's just one of crossfire's hundreds of bugs. it's debatable whether or not you can actually PINPOINT some one anymore. because the center of the ghosts breath leaks over to the left. (the ghost's left) it's more like blanketpointing, or spraypointing. you could use only your right ear to pinpoint, don't know if any one has mastered that. anyway, debatable.
