I feel that the takedown are truly bad

They're slow and the animations are bit disorienting when it camera flips back and forth. If the player is prone, you'll pick them up, brush off the dust from them, then slice their throat. Overall, it's not a good experience, makes me not want to use the takedowns. I've played about 80 hours and have only done 3 takedowns. Where as in BF1/BF5, the takedowns were brutal and fast, especially BF1 takedowns and its animations. I wish they would just add first person takedowns.

@Arfan76 They dont even work for me most of the time. I try do it then i just end up standing there with a knife equipped, and before I know it the enemy turn around and catch me with me pants down and BOOM dead

They just don't work. Oh, how far we have fallen from bf1/5 takedowns. Whoever thought that these 3rd person takedowns are better is insane

same, I've ran up to so many people, tried to activate the takedown and then stabbed air in front of me instead of starting the animation, even when I'm literally standing over them on the ground

They’re completely broken, and even when they work, they’re just so . . . lame and immersion breaking. It’s so jarring when the camera suddenly flips to third person to show a soulless execution animation. They’re so boring to watch. They’re just here so EA and DICE can sell executions in the store and battle pass, just like CoD. Aggressive monetization has unfortunately become the norm now at the expense of the game’s quality, even for full priced games like 2042.

I like the one with the axe. Made a nice video of the time I snuck into an enemy objective solo as the main action was all on the other obj, all sneaky like, then crept up behind a guy and wham! With the axe. I think there should be more, and maybe ones with quicker animations as suggested. But they’re fun.

they are just placeholders until they finish and polish them up.

Why cant I just stab them and take the tags like BF3 and BF4?

@Arfan76Agreed 90%

If they are prone down a hill I found it simply refuses to do a takedown, if you are crouched it won't do a takedown, if they have a launcher out like m5 or aa it won't do a takedown, then you have the horrible system of trying to find the tiny spot on their back so you can hooooold melee zzzzz hoping they don't move cos then you have to find it again all while trying not to get shot, oh and they do move you will slash them and die because gey let's make takedown button same as melee button.

The current takedown system is a complete and utter joke.
I don't agree about bf1/V takedowns, bf3 had the best takedowns, simple, elegant and intimate.

@GrizzGolf This is exactly what I want. Don't give me that 3rd person Warzone stuff give me Battlefield!
