Please Disable Knifing While in ADS!

I wish I had a recorder so I could make a montage of all the times I involuntarily swing my knife at enemies who I am trying to aim and shoot at. Most often it happens with the Model 1887 and its completely rediculous. I dont press the knife button. Im attempting to make shots but instead my avatar is doing the melee attack. Why would I ADS on a target and then press melee instead of fire? Thats rediculous! It happens the most during the close range encounters, hence the 1887 when Im at close range I ADS to shoot because thats what my gun is for, the game seems to think that since Im close I just want to knife everyone. Ive tested out my melee button and it does not appear to be sensitive in any way. When I actually want to knife someone I must fully engage the button just like any other button, however in these instances where Im trying to shoot an enemy but my knife swings out instead (100%resulting in death) its  not like Im accidentally pressing the button. Ive been acustomed to the analog PS controllers for twelve years, I know how to use them.

 

To fix this issue the melee function should be disabled while in ADS. Who would ever want to melee while they're attempting to shoot someone anyways?

    That sounds like a faulty controller to me...

      No, in all likelyhood it's just a bad grip on the controller. I know people who knife all the time when they try to shoot. The problem isn't the controller (if it was, I wouldn't be able to use the same one and never have that problem), the problem is with their grip on the controller. In many instances when someone is into the game and getting tense, they can easily hit the knife button.

       

      If you switch to a Tactical Layout, you'll find yourself doing it a lot less since you'll just crouch instead. Personally, I think it's funny watching people do it. Some people I know have given up super easy kills because they knifed their air infront of them instead of firing the gun.

    Well you actually are hitting the mellee button, just by accident hahaha, I had the same problem aswell, I think it was half my finger half having a sensitive r3 (or wutever the xbox pressing the right analog stik is called) switched to tactical layout and its been 100% worth it, cant stress enough how much the switch has helped me.Just use it at the beginning of a prestige and by the end youll def have the hang of it. Plus the panic knife aint gunna be in BlackOps II so you mite aswell start playing without having it. I mean yea the B button is still a one hit kill and theres more problems to the knife than just having it be a diff button, but gotta get used to not kinifing sum1 that rounds the corner and scares the crap outa you which inturn causes you hit the melee button witout even thinking to do it hahaha
