The melee system in Bf 2042
The melee sytem has been bad in bf1 and bf5. They made the knives 3 hit kill and the heavy weapons 2 hit kill. This makes it very underpowered. In bad company 2, bf2, and other games, it used to be 1...

@EpistimonKapetan Agreed on Battlefield 1 and Battlefield V melee. Worst in the series. I am hopeful for Battlefield 2042.
There will be melee takedowns in the game which will award the attacker with a dogtag(s).
@ninjapenquinuk As to the one hit kill from behind... not always. I cannot say more.
Lastly, panic melee was one of the reasons the melee has been atrocious the past two games as well... at no time should panic melee award a takedown attack and dogtags.

- @carsono311 Good point, dog tag collecting was easier/more fun with the old system, i'll absolutely agree on that.
I liked it in BF1. You'd get some really intense melee fights. Made the game feel a lot more brutal.
Not really a fan of 1 hit kill melee from any angle other than behind if all you need to do is press a single "I win" button.

@Noodlesocks To your second point... I agree and I think Battlefield 2042 will be a return to more tried-and-true systems..
I have seen leaked gameplay. Trust me, it is not looking good. The guy playing hit someone 2 times with a knife and the victim did not die. I hope they introduce a new melee system in the full game.
- @EpistimonKapetan Well… anything you have observed was taken from the technical playtest and is not representative of the final game…
Also, the slash attack with the knife has been around since Battlefield 2 and is much more preferable than insta-death melee takedowns from 10 yards away…
