Chainsaw beat down?

[Royston]

I can't test it myself as I don't have anyone to test with. But I would like to know what is the perfect distance to excute a melee strike with boom or sniper to stop a charging chainsaw guy in his tracks. I usually encounter this problem when rushing boom shot, and some guy tries to cut me in two usually i roll back and shoot but don't want to waste a boom shot on the chainsaw guy!
Cheers

I would just shoot him, one shot and a kill is better than none with a death. Then you can just AR and get someone else.

Alterntively, I find that with really laggy games, I can beat down a chainsawer by hitting about 1.5 game metres away from them, and then when they walk into it, circle behind and hit them again.

melee as early as you can.. as to hit him at the very end of the melee, like when you melee you have about .5 seconds to get close to someone and it hit them... but i wouldnt take the chance.. if you are that close, id dive backwards and shoot them

Ahh damn I was thinking it was something I could practise and perfect every time. I'll have a look at it anyway see if I can incoperate it into my gameplay. Thanks anyway
