*This
definition applies to Counter Strike*
The act of stabbing your opponent in the face causing instant death to normal enemies, and in very rare cases, inflicting over 700 damage. This maneuver is indisputably the greatest demonstration of one's knifing prowess and overall leetness. A knife headshot also serves as one of the most humiliating deaths that a player may experience while playing
CS.
How to execute the knife headshot:
(Required materials - Knife,
mouse, and balls of steel)
1. Get your knife out and approach the enemy. The easiest way to
set yourself for this maneuver is for your
target to agree to a knife duel. This, however, reduces the epic value of the knife headshot. Some other methods of setting up for a KHS is flashing the enemy, the enemy running out of bullets, or if its really dark and you just happen to have NV goggles.
2. As you are about to make contact with the enemy, pitch your
aim slightly upwards so that your knife will strike the face. (Note: The cross
hair is not always an exact indication of where you will hit your enemy so knife headshots are almost
never predicable unless one's extremely skilled with a knife)
3. If performed correctly, the knife should connect with the head and if the victim is wearing a helmet, then yellow sparks may appear along with a burst of
crimson liquid.
It is also worth mentioning that in some zombie mod servers, the ones with super
fast zombies, knife headshots are much easier to pull off as zombies, probably due to their
speed.
