Counter

Whatever I do, sometimes my counter just doesn't work, and I know that you have to press it when it clearly says "counter attack", not earlier, otherwise you get punched. I'm often on knife servers and everytime I see "counter attack" I press it, nothing happens and I get a punch in the face, this is happening since the last patch. I can counter some people, but not all of them. Can somebody please tell me what it is or fix this? I'm sure that I am not the only one having this issue, my friends are experiencing this too, so pls anyone help me/us.

I'm sorry if my english is bad, I'm from a german speaking country 🙂

    There is no user level fix for the counterknife beyond resetting your router, and if on console doing a hard reset of the console.  The Counterknife used to work consistently but then it seemed to get more and more random where if sometimes one hits the counter knife button you still get knifed. Lag or latency could be part of the problem. On which platform are you? If you are on PC perhaps binding the knife button to one of your mouse buttons will help.

  • I think that when it prompts you to press the counter knife button, you enter a minigame in which the player that presses the button the faster, wins.]

    Don't quote me on that, though.
