I've already tried to debate this so id just give up if i were you because CoD is now a scrub/noob game and us (the real gamers) wont get even just a tiny option in this particular subject :/

To be honest, like I've said in other "Wahwahwah Remove the Throwing Knife" threads, I hope that if they should ever remove them, then the survivors should have NO perks, WEAK guns, and only two clips of ammo. If kniving somone is good enough for infected, then kniving should be good enough for survivors when they run out of ammo. Should they dumb down the throwing knives? Yes, make it like any other lethal equipment where you take about half a second or more trying to deploy/use it. Will that ever happen? I doubt it. As for TKs being overpowered, no, they aren't, you can survive for a LONG time depending on the map and gun you're on, ten or so people and I survived the round with Type-95s on Dome, without camping on the catwalk. I love the throwing knife being in infected because there's alot of camping spots where you just can't get the survivors without it, like on Fallen behind the low brick walls, or in the little house's second floor where you only have one entrance to get them. Dome, where people lay on the catwalk nearly invincible, Downturn, where the cabs and firetruck is, there's many more examples. I say if you don't want throwing knives then make your own lobby and leave out the throwing knife, it's that simple.

you gotta be kidding me. Infection is horrible enough when you are infected and can't even get within knifes range and kill someone, and now you want to get rid of the only thing that can actually kill campers? Get off your high horse.

What if they made them 2 or 3 hit kills?

What if the uninfected that was hit with a knife had to throw it back to regenerate their health?

They should just take of throwing knives and the death barriers for the glitches so survivors can do them and give the infected a bouncing betty i made a private match with bouncing bettys and no one had a problem with them it makes the game more fair with bouncing bettys

If they took throwing knives out of infected then they would have to take out certain maps like Dome because it is impossible to kill players on top of the dome without a throwing knife.

I'll tell you what, why don't we just take out the ability to knife as well just to make it fair since you want to reduce the infected offensive abilities by 50%!

I bet the original poster is one of those individuals who if they become the first infected or one of the first few infected leaves the game as they are solely using infected to legitamely boost their k/d and w/l ratio and get the odd MOAB!

Seriously, what do you want? A game type were you press one button and automatically get a MOAB with out any risk of being killed?

they should be taken out. and that's not so people can boost or get moabs... the infected still win the game 99.9 % of the time, even without the throwing knives... and all the glitchy camping spots are insta kills...

the people that think they need them in there to keep boosters at bay really have no clue what they are talking about. throwing knives don't stop boosters at all. i see boosters almost every single game. they just make the infected win the game quicker. that's all. plus, the infected's weapon is a one hit kill, with better range than the shotguns, and they have super human speed, plus they have the numbers. if you need a throwing knife to win that game, then you should be playing with legos and not playing call of duty.

with that said, if they leave throwing knives in, it's not a big deal. but i hate when people claim they are necessary, when they are only necessary to the inept.

Remove quickdraw pro. You need throwing knifes to get people on spots like the catwalk in dome, but giving them quickdraw pro with the throwing knife is where it gets out of hand.

Yeah dude...I totally agree. I mean really? Throwing knives? All we have are guns...with bullets... How is that fair?

But no seriously, throwing knives are that easy to use, have you tried one recently?
