Knife death matches had a great hazard where if you jumped wrong you would fall to your death. It also added a strategy of player blocking. I found Knife TDM's to be great fun.
The addition of the grapple rope took all that added strategy out. If you fell, you could simply grapple back onto the stage like a badmin using admin mode to fly back. It also is used to fly the forget about making the game a jumbled mess with morons flying everywhere grappling to everything. I cant stand the grapple rope used in Knife TDMs.
Knife TDM's are terrible with the grapple rope.
Bolded reminded me of something I did.
I was throwing my knife like a silly person, of course, catching it too.
But then it fell one time and I was like "osht, now I don't have a knife." and still won by using my body to make the last guy fall, after the rest of them fought it out.
