One scenario while I was playing PR.. me and the squad I was in were tasked with defending this weapon cache in this palace-type building. Basically we sat on the roof for an hour waiting to be attacked, with rpg's and AKM's and such. All I had was an RPG and a pistol, I think.
But the only action we saw was a chopper flying over and gunning half of us down.
Brutal.

Battlefield isn't anything like realistic, thats why they don't put shit like that in. Getting blown up by a bomb under a trashcan isn't any fun, nor is being a guy with an AK and a grenade and having to blow up a tank. quoted the wrong quote, doesn't really matter though.
If there's a hotkey for instakill knifing I will be so furious I could punch out the sun
I have not seen someone run with a knife in a long time. It's cooler when someone runs with a knife out about to stab someone than someone running normally followed by them twitching which apparently means the enemy is instantly killed (because fuck close quarters combat right)
I'd hate to bring up CoD but it's a good example of how it's very silly when 2 players are close to eachother, they just run close to eachother like idiots and it becomes a game of who can press the knife button at the right time

yeah, that was just annoying.
And I'm not saying that because I got killed by it or anything, most of my kills in MW1 were from absolutely savage knifing sprees (1 hit kill vs 5-6 hit kill). That's why I racked up so many kills with it, it's a stupid system.
You should [B]select[/B] the knife like in any proper shooter. :colbert:
Knife should just be bashing people with your gun, no lunge bullshit, 2 hit from front, 1 hit from back.
Separate knife works too, still using the 2 hit from front, 1 hit from back. I hate this instant kill lunge knife bullshit so many games have

Yeah indeed. I doubt that it's realistic or even close to realistic if you're holding a rifle with two hands and then somehow pulling a knife and casually stabbing someone all in a span of 2 seconds.
And all of this after sprinting a a hundred yards
Is battlefield 3 going to have mod support for the PC community? Also its going to be interesting to see BF3s campaign it would be a first for them, not including Bad Company.

This. And proper instant kill should require more time and more delay between each one, kinda like alt fire for knife in CSS :v:
e: automerge :ninja:
BF2 had a good knife.
But bad hit detection with the good knife.
Don't bash me but, what if there were throwable knives? Not instant kill or any bullshit like that, low chance of actually DOING damage (like [B]5-10%[/B], maybe 15% chance to hit, regardless at which body part you throw it), 3-6m range and would deal moderate damage.
Obviously this is inferior to any weapon, this is mostly for those times when you want a stealth kill or you're out of ammo (and/or enemy is out of reach).
Might I add it would also probably alert the enemy if you hit them without dealing damage aka hitting them with blunt end. Or hit a wall and they hear a ZING/DING/whatever.
No

Being in that situation would suck and it wouldn't be worth the effort. Just charge and maybe kill him or die then respawn.
If BF goes down any path like cod I will brutality murder someone.

But this isn't a simulator or even a realistic approach to a game, so there should be fun involved. Sure it's easier to shoot them, but wouldn't be awesome if you kill someone with a knife from above/below? Or maybe use it as a distraction.

Sure it would be fun. Kinda like the throwing knives in Metro 2033. You pretty much have to hit them in the neck to kill them. I just can't see it working in a game that has respawn.

Very rare and unnecessary.
Oh man, Battlefield 2 was so fun, I can't wait until BF3 comes out. Then I can go along happily spamming "ENEMY BOAT SPOTTED"
I think having the knife as a hot-key makes it a more situational weapon.
While having it as a separate weapon in BF2 makes it a desperation weapon. Like when I ran out of ammo spraying at a sniper and we just ran around in circles trying to stab each other.
Knife is meant to be a humilation/last resort weapon.
having an instant kill lunge knife, pretty much makes pistols pointless in most cq situations. Having a gun battle with somebody is far more fun that lunging halfway across the fucking room at them and killing them
I refuse to "equip" the knife every time I need to get through a door. And no, I don't want to shoot it. Much more convenient having the knife as a hot-key in any situation.
I refuse to stab doors to death if I can just open them like a normal person, eg, with a boot.
My god, if they implement the breaching and entering animations/option we've seen in the SP for doors in multiplayer it will look amazing (replacing 'knife door and explodes' tactic from BC series).

Best game ever! :v:
I hope BF3 REALLY has selected knife instead of just a hotkey and I hope you get a special knife after a bit of kills like in BF2142.
