Who here actually enjoys the switch to 3rd person takedowns?

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 brutal is the word i would use to describe BF1 takedowns as well, especially when using a club. speaking of battlefield 1, did we ever figure out if the stick grenade club could go boom?
  • The dud club does indeed explode. Though I have no idea if it exploding is probability based or condition based.

    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


    Totally agree on both fronts.

    The third person takedown is likely a decision to show off your skin to you and was to encourage micro transaction (skin) purchases. Obviously that’s all out of the window atm but yet again we pay the price for poor management decisions.
