New bannable offense

"Melee Shifting

As I’ve been following the ongoing debate over melee shifting, I must confess to being a bit disappointed. In the past we’ve addressed the exploitation of bugs as contrary to the spirit of the game. Players should operate on a level playing field, and only skill should determine the winners and losers. Taking advantage of an in-game glitch that gives an unfair advantage over other players or makes weapons behave in ways they were never intended is not “skill,” it’s cheating.

To put it in plain language: the Combat Arms Team considers shifting to be an illegitimate play tactic. We’re currently working on a way to eliminate the bug that allows it, but until that time, melee shifting will be considered a bannable offense. " -Nexon America Inc.

No. Melee shifting is entirely different. Unless you play melee only games you really won't care. But there's a serious difference between people who can shift and people who can't. Hopefully it gets permafixed.

Shifting =/= Quickswitching...

Left click M9 Shifting > Dom Pedro shifting.

I but I thought you were "one of the best melee-rs in the game"?

[Da Kurlzz]

i saw some people with sprinting animations and they're firing their guns too. does that mean they're shifting?

[Wretched]

Because he is totally confused

To shift --
You must right click, or 'Special attack', then shift while doing it, let go of shift at the right time, then left click, or 'Normal attack', which, on sickles, causes a double-hit, which seems like a one-hit kill, or superknife.

[Wretched]

Fuck that.
I'm probably getting banned pretty damn soon then.

[Implify]

melee shifting is where you left click and then sprint and let go at a certain time and you knife right after you sprint.

[SmartAlley]

So, no more Q switch?

[-DuffMan_]

[Jenkees]

Oh, it's not quickswitching? Alright, I never play melee only games anyway

[Fabolous]

Wow that sucks. I used to do it on my high rank and people would report me, im getting banned.

[Jenkees]

Don't think Nexon will ban people that exploited in past because it's a new rule o.o
