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...

Small weapons do less damage but are faster and larger weapons will naturally do more damage at the cost of speed - I think that is pretty well balanced. What I don't like about the newer system is that this makes middle melee weapons pretty much outclassed across the board with the Barbed Wire Bat only having the benefit of being a rare novelty.
IIRC, melee hits from behind always killed in one hit; yeah, it can be annoying when the auto animation kicks in from what appears to be weird angles but that's just how hitboxes and input compensation works. I've snagged tens of thousands of tags so I've been on both sides lol.
Counter knifing needs to be tweaked - easiest thing you can do is make the prompt completely random and timed so people can't just spam that. Speaking of spamming, knife spam isn't really a problem, it's a symptom of victim panic though - if people kept their cool and just shot at soldiers we wouldn't have this spam stigma previously mentioned
@TTZ_Dipsy I don't care if melee weapons are balanced against each other. It would make sense for an rpg game, but not for a first person shooter. In an fps game likt bf, melee has the role of being the go to option if your enemy and you are one nose away from each other. The gun being the winner in that range does not make sense. The role of the gun is to shoot someone from a range.
- @EpistimonKapetan Tell that to your shotgun or sidearm.
- @EpistimonKapetan BF Melee system has been used as a backup, fun, stealth and skill. Balance or different types makes sense. Being able to use a Melee with different setup is no different to @carsono311 said about having different guns. If melee is not balance(1 strike front kills) then the so called fun becomes use knife and charge like BF3/4 as it is quicker and easier then a gun.
I hope we have different Melee class that have different effects like BF1 and we can still push vehicles with.
I hope the 3rd person melee is only for trailers.- @DingoKillr I am sorry to disappoint you, but the 3rd person is not just for the trailers.
Is it just me who thinks the 3rd person takedowns are there to help sell skins, in is what other wise a first person view game
