Backstab : it doesn't work !

[Monky120893]

was this before, during, or after the backstab degree nerf?

[SkeletalCarp]

Terribad hitboxes all over the place, the backstab hitbox is more to the left, and most of the left side, so you can do a sidestab and still have it count as a backstab

god damn it Valve

[bananaman40]

i had the BEST backstab set up to kill a soldier, but i stabbed the dispenser beside him instead :(

[Skrileks]

unluck :s

[xXGraedonXx]

My name is Blame Valve and I approve of this video.

As a side note i've succeeded in slashing a stationary oblivious heavy in the back 8 times in a row while he was being healed by an equally oblivious medic. Valve Hates spy/

[filip9912]

hahahahahhhahahaha

[Masterpivot292]

I'm like this all the time, except that they stand there and right as I go to backstab they use the fucking force and move 2 inches to the left and I miss, they 180 and kill me. FFFFFFUUU. Had this game for 4 days though.

[NotTonTon]

@The1stguy1 dude im lmaoing so hard XD

[shadowmare01]

"Sound coming soon" Jeez, I'm glad that it wasn't VALVe time :D

[runeman464]

glitch/lag.

3/5 for the effort.

[GuninandBladin]

might as well have knifed him in the front =D

[bobplatypus]

Wow, that sucks

[MORTALKOMBATRULZx123]

he had budhha on

[moomin96]

It's annoying when they camp in corners :/

[toadmyster2]

Hang on his right hand should have more 'back' according to backstab hitboxes... Fuck that's almost as gay as Heavie's with razorbacks and engies with flamethrowers

[boludovos]

lag

[iLoveEatingPie]

Heavy's back is as fat as his stomach, it turns out.

[ZoNnE]

sandvich is a deadly weopen!

[wztpm]

Admin may have buddha on, it enables you to get to 1 hp, and and not go under, also stops backstabs. Some admins turn it on for themselves because they can't play like normal people.

[sp0xerz]

True :D

[SomeGuyFromCrowd]

It happens because the direct he is looking determines the hitbox, not the actual orientation of his body.

FIX NAO PLZ.

[mattbru2]

Not to mention heavy was eating a sandvich. so the regular mele did nothing.

[dayl3]

lol, you have crap gfx

[soshidow]

ive had many times where it has glitched / lagged or something.

for example.. so many times have i stabbed an engi in the back (not side of his back.. perfect dead on his back..) what i find.. is he doesnt die, so hes still in the way of the sentry..

(i usually go for the stab n quickly sap tactic.. i prefer it as they dont have any time to react. nor do their team m8s.

[RandomShellz]

Well, you probably did deserve that backstab.

Contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a "side-stab". There's about a 160 degree angle for what is considered the "Back"

That might've just been somewhere right outside that area.

[turdlow]

the hitboxes on everyone for the backstab are hittable from the sides making the 'side-stab' count as a backstab

[metallicafx103]

OM NOM

[horrorchicken]

Yeah that has happened to me in Arena too.

Picture this, I was the only RED left... 1 heavy on the Blu side. I hit him in the head with Ambassador and he starts running towards their base to eat a sandvich. I follow him, I find him in a corner eating, And of course I try to BS him. 2 stabs in the back, he turns, hits me with KGB. Fail says the announcer...

[fpeter01]

Sandvich make strong!

[Mai7853]

jesus christ stop poking me with that knife! i just wanna eat my sandvich!

[Matroix]

I think it's because you stabbed him on his right side, which is the side with the arm that holds his weapon or sanvich, so that backstab didn't register.

[txfnero]

fucking sandvich

[gameman117]

The Problem with the sandvich and eating, is that the general backstab direction depends on the direction the person is viewing while eating. Lets say we was eating and his back was exposed (Like so) and you stab his back. It doesnt register because his view was turned to be looking at you, so you would of needed to stab his front to get a backstab.

Thanks Valve.

OM NOM NOM OM NOM

[Castalex1992]

OM NOM NOM NOM NOM not OM NOM NOM OM NOM!!

[Mavi222]

It's right you didn't killed him.. he was eating his sandvich T_T

[JordanWynn77]

Happened to me last night- he was eating, I jumped over and stabbed his back 4 times, he turns around after finished and mows me down... needs fixing really...

[mlooad]

it's a bug with the sandvich, i am pretty sure it is fixed now. :D

[VovaVirus]

sandwich wins!!!

[stan007stan]

Last week I tried to backstab a demoman who was Taunting from 3 differents angle and he never died! He wasn't moving at all

[Foolfyer]

There was to much of an angle from when you were stabbing him

Also I bet the person playing the heavy was laughing it's arse off

[CaptainxCrunchx]

Just so ya know, the Sandvich taunt turns Heavy's model a bit so his real back was at the corner.

[Koolkitties]

There was something severely wrong with that.

[marinesunited12]

a heavy was eating his sandvich -.-

[FR3akINOuT]

This happen's to me alot :(

[mrpatty29]

hmm happened to me before

i think you just have to aim for a more central part of the back

but yesterday i even got a backstab from the side lol

:S

[stan007stan]

Hahahaha! You need to knife more in the back, I know that is this really gay

[Tf2Sn]

yea your
