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 Theirs no need to play the beta then. If it keeps being delayed over, and over. I rather just play actual game instead of the beta.
