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...

@EpistimonKapetanExcept that is usually not the case.
The vast majority of players end up in melee due to terrible spawn locations or due to simply blindly running into it, not actively seeking melee combat. This inevitably results in the panic knife which, based on Battlefield 1 and V, was determined by who hit the “melee button” first…
And please do not get me started on the bayonet attack…
Lazy design.
@carsono311 At first, the bayonet charge was glitched, and the kill would often not register and I would die as a result. Also, what you call "panic knife", that's what melee is for. That's why it exists. If it was not for close range encounters, it would have not been in the game in the First place.
@EpistimonKapetanPanic knifing only earned its stigma in Battlefield 1 and V for rewarding a dog tag simply based on spamming a button if in range (and some of those ranges were ludicrous by the way).
There is nothing tactical, decisive, or interesting in blindly spamming a button, it pales in comparison to previous melee systems, and it should not be rewarded.
