With Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 beta already out, many players are trying to find the best class setups to use. While most setups involve decking up an assault rifle or an SMG, some players are just built differently.

In come the knife class specialists. A class where players switch things up and use the usual backup weapon as their primary driver. This playstyle has been around since the starting days of CoD but has been perfected only recently. While Modern Warfare II is where this really picked up, players have been wondering if they can follow the same strategy when MWIII officially launches.

Return of the Knife Class

The way the newer Call of Duty games play out is much faster than the original predecessors. This speed increase in the gameplay has been pushing players to try more and more different strategies to perfect the knife class. In the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 beta itself, we have seen how effective knives are. Their one-hit-kill effectiveness is what makes this class viable. That being said, it looks like the knife-only class will make a return in MW3.

As seen in this clip above, there is an encounter with one enemy trying to slide away but before that could happen, the player takes him out with a quick knife kill. With melee aim assist and using lunge to close the distance, it becomes easy for players using this class to sneak up and one hit kill the opponent. While players using guns will always have an advantage over a melee setup, this class stands strong when it comes to smaller maps.

But it’s also essential to acknowledge that this setup, while undeniably entertaining and rewarding in public matches, might not be the ideal choice for competitive gameplay. With the way things are looking, it seems like a knife-only class might just have a strong presence in the meta of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.

For players looking to embrace the knife-only class, here is the best setup to follow in order to get that tactical edge over the opponents.

• Primary: Riot Shield

This setup empowers players with the Riot Shield, which can serve as both protection and a means to close the gap between the opponent. The throwing knife adds versatility to the arsenal, giving players a ranged option for eliminating foes. Following this setup is one of the more

In conclusion, the knife-only class in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 isn’t the top pick for competitive gamers. Yet, it’s an exciting alternative for those seeking to liven up their gameplay.
