After seeing the poll for classes vs specialists that has seen a lot of activity on these forums, I was reminded of melee takedowns.
I really dislike the switch to 3rd person takedowns from the 1st person takedowns that the previous games had.
Ignoring bugs on how sometimes the takedowns just don't work, who here prefers this recent switch?
Who here would have preferred 1st person takedowns?
@rippedwire01 I intensely dislike the 3rd person take down and want it reverted to first person - or at least have the option to revert it for myself. Not only because it's not the traditional Battlefield take down but it's jarring suddenly being yanked into another perspective in the middle of a battle. Also the third person take downs seem a lot more spotty regarding actually working. There have been so many times that I've hit the melee button in the correct position and it just does not register and the guy turns and shoots me.
this is THE BEST melee mechanic in Battlefield EVER

Totally agree on all counts, I have also had so many instances of melee not registering it has put me off even trying now.
It's literally a safer bet to shoot them rather than risk it failing and them shooting you. !
It's just another thing that needs sorting and makes me wonder if anyone actually tests these things. ?

Ahahaha why does that guy even bother equipping a gun, knife for the win. 😃
I fondly remember going on a knifing spree on Noshahr Canals in bf3
@rippedwire01 Technically I don't mind if a Takedown is 3rd person or 1st person, if the implementation works consistently and is not stupid.
Currently the implementations only work from directly behind the target, when it is mostly unmoving.
And the 3rd person implementation always assumes, that the target is standing.
Every condition outside of these requirements make the 3rd person Takedown either an inconsistent hack and slash, or stupid, by first moving the target into the standing position. Which results that targets in the more vulnerable stances - kneeling and prone - have a higher probability to be saved by a teammate.
All Battlefield 4 Takedowns are more consistent and less stupid that the BF2042 Takedowns, and I actually don't care if its shown to me in 1st or 3rd person.
With the only issue of the buggy camera positioning of the 3rd person Takedown, where I think that there are more pressing issues needs fixing than to waste time on this.
i don't like the 3rd person takedowns in a first person game personally. i also don't think vehicles should be able to do 3rd person but that is an entirely different discussion for a different time

Ah yes good old Nosehair Canals 😃
Brings back memories.......
To me either bf1 or bfv could be considered pinnacles of Battlefield takedowns.
I cannot speak much about bfv, but the times that I did perform takedowns they were smooth and the first person animations were great. I mention bfv because it seems like it is just like bf1, if not slightly improved
I adore bf1 takedowns. They worked consistently and the animations were brutal. It really fit the game and it was fun to do

Bet you didn't adore being on the wrong end of one though. 😬
