How many melee kills do you have?

I've been going through my stats and realized that I pretty much never use melee. Out of 50 000 kills, I only have 67 melee kills. And those only come from messing around with different animations before figuring out all of them are useless crap. Not only 3rd person animation boring, but the animations themselves are way too long and not that good-looking. With the introduction of throwing knifes I've been running them all the time.

What do you think about BF2042's melee animations? I would rather have brutal melee combat of BF1/5 return.

  • @UP_LordPlumber 157. I used to collect dog tags in earlier BF's. Now since it takes long (and leaves you open) it's only good for those solo players in the woods.

    Next to none. I liked to go melee in previous Battlefields whenever there was a good opportunity. In BF 2042, I'll rather send bullets than risk a long 3rd person camera melee exposing you to the enemy and hindering your awareness (and possibly also risking some bugs and glitches, unless they fixed it already (I didn't try it again for a long time)). The melee attacks are a great example of how to ruin a perfectly working and entertaining game mechanics just for the sake of a profit.

  • @UP_LordPlumber I don’t know off hand how many, I’m assuming less than 200, however most of those are likely shield kills. It counts as melee, it’s much faster than a knife take down, and I know it makes those getting bashed super mad (I hate getting bashed lol). The knife takedown looks pretty, but the lack of personalized tags like we had in previous titles and the time it takes to get the kill, makes it far less attractive versus the risk.

    @ATFGunr You can see that in your stats page ingame. It shows all kills and melee kills in the very top page

    Not many because i got tired of getting killed because takedown is so hit or miss.

    My first kill in this game was a mele kill though

    Out of 58k kills I have 34 melee kills. Would be more if animations were proper. That going into 3rd person should be optional.
