Axe and Shovel

I don't understand all the hate against axe and shovel users in knife only matches. Just because they kill you a lot doesn't mean they are using an unfair advantage. Maybe you should buy an axe instead of saying it's cheap. I would say it takes more skill to use an axe or shovel than a knife because you have to get used to the huge difference in timing. So before you call me a noob for saying this you should actually try using it to see how hard they are to use and see that I am making a serious point. Don't worry kids you only have a week until the free weekend axes are gone.

I agree i have an axe but havnt tryd shovel yet but that time is coming

Is funny cause u make no sense, AXE FTW

this is odd... for sum reason im about the same skill with axe as i am with knife... infact im prob better with axe.... confusing that xD with knife i can barely 1 hit but with axe its easy peazy xD o well

I agree, shovels are WAYYYY unfair.

Give a noob a knife and he kills once
Give a noob a axe and he kills twice
Give a noob a shovel and he'll pwn everyone

it's too overpowering.

The main issue with the shovel in particular is its range.
We're not all rolling a 10-ping.

When someone uses shovel and breathdown, its pretty much impossible to pull a shot off before they reach you, if they're ever so slightly skilled.

And when theres laggers involved, you won't hear them at all.


Then of course, the shovel isn't overpowered when it comes to actual power.

Axe and shovel is the very heart and soul of proof that crossfire is a pay2win game.

Funny how axe was released right after gm has said players will not pay to gain advantage over non pay players. But nobody gave a crap, why? because they dont melee. Yet people started crying over mp5 advanced

Am I the only one here understanding the sarcasm and irony? Holly Dill Pickle this community is falling apart.

axes i dont care about but the shovels are just plain unfair. they can get you if they hit 10 feet in front of you, they can get you if the shovels behind their head and they havent even brought it down yet. its just way too glitchy

he said it as it is

Why even talk about GM its a fail mode.

omg talking about shovels and axes well they usually call me hacker for using shovel lol
and sometimes i get kicked for that.....
also the thing about ghost mode its really hard to play againts bhoppers with shovel....
im not saying its bad cuz im a bhopper with shovel as well but the thing is they'll call u hacker all the time when all ur doing is trying to get more kills..
so yea axe and shovel are good if u know how to use them:D

PS: i think i wrote too much lol

k, i recently broke down and bought a axe, my "knife" kills per round saw a major increase, and i started doing better in gm as bl...

NUFF SAID. How u can say that it is not buying an advantage i can not fathom, despite the increased timing issues. once u get that figured out you are left with weapons that have increased range and more dmg.... there for, u just bought yourself and advantage...

axes are only slight less noob then shuvel.. (and by noob i mean people supplement skill with a paid for item) shuvel is prob the dumbest thing in this game. the fact that it is so easy to get a one hit kill with a item that you would have to swing harder then most people can to crush a standing mans skull is just silly. (yes i know army is trained in shuvel combat, left over from the trench warfare days of ww2, but fact is, they are not out there today smashing in heads with a shuvel)

bottom line,
If u buy breath down, armor or any thing else that gives you an advantage. u are doing just that, using zp to get an edge over other players who dont have it.

Knife - slash for the head, tank, fastest speed if you know how to slash

Axe - 1 slash to the head, tank, normal speed, if you know to tango, axe will pwn

Shovel - Hit and run, long range with right click, slow speed, but the effect of the shovel is goddamn good

I used knife, now i use axe, i have to say that axe is better killing weapon because 1 slash in the head, but unfortunately i don't have money, so after 2 more days, i will back with Knife

this is where your wrong, stabing with the shovel first is slow, but to stab again is instant, making the shovel stab nearly as fast as the knife, the axe on the other end, you miss and you got a pretty long while before you can stab again, the knife got a time too, just not as bad as the axe. also, its impossible to miss with the shovel, the time i had it i kept getting impressed by thinking i missed and still getting a kill.
