Counter Knife in BFV
It’s not really a counter knife like it was in BF4, but it almost works similar.
I was playing a match the other day and got into on of those 1v1 moments in a match, however, what happened was, we were both at low health, meaning one hit of a melee attack can initiate a a takedown animation.
Though what truly occurred is when I initiated the takedown animation for the kill, the player who I was facing against had also melee’d attack and canceled my animation, and did his instead, resulting that I got killed even if I was sure to get the kill.
Now, I don’t know if this is part of the game, or if it’s lag/delay that somewhat mixes into it, but there are times when it becomes vice versa and I get the kill, even though the animations activate.
It’s not truly counter-knifing, but it works almost the same.
Well, as there is no official counter-knife thing in BFV it was probably something else that influenced this situation.
If it's been lag/input delay/different speed of internet connection or whatsoever.
Certain melee weapons might have even different speeds when triggered for the animation and therefore it could have some small advantage as well.
