Spade Runing

[williejones]

if you sprint holding the spade you run quieter and for longer. Then with any other weapon / equipment.

The quieter part is true, I tested it offline. You hear less footsteps, but I'm not sure if others around hear less. As for being faster with it out, I didn't notice any change between M16A4 and spade.

From what I know, weapons in your hand can't change how fast or far you can sprint. It is a common myth that holding the knife makes you run faster. I've even seen people do it in vanilla. :s

I think they do that for 2 reasons:
1. Knifes arent big so you have a greater view without a weapon blocking your view.
2. If you encounter an enemy in CQC you can easely take him out?

Pfff, bloody nubs running away with a knife in their hands while I'm trying to keep up with the M240 and AT4 on my back.

the spade noise is only noticed by the player

teseted it yesterday and it seems that everyone around you still hears you just as well
