Ok for all you people who love the knife as much as i do, ok before you flame, I love fighting with the knife cause you need skill to kill someone with it but Im getting a bit pissed off that there is only one stabbing motion( right-to-left slash) now ok this i fine but what about the forward stab to the gut? not only that there has been countless time that when I stab someone you hear the stabbing but the person doesnt die I stabbed a guy 3times before he died and last but not least why have they modified all the other weapons but they have not done anything to the knife at all to solve these problems?
Regards

Yup sometimes that whole right hook motion seems to not be the right way to stick that OP4.. too bad they cant just get a bayonet attachment on these assault rifles, carbines, and shotguns maybe even a LMG???...

hmm a m249saw with a bayonet that would be lovely!!

They should have it where when you press forward with the left mouse button together your character would do a forward jab motion. If you double click, your character grabs the enemy and stabs em in the neck. What about an alternate stab mode with the right mouse button. Your character usually holds the knife upright. When you click on the right mouse button your character will switch the knife where the blade is facing down. Wouldn't that be nice and add a little variety to knifing. I think so.

I don't think the grabbing the enemy would work for a MP game.

The knife is fine and does what it needs to do.  The animation is arbitrary, so I wouldn't complain about added animations, but the functionality should remain exactly as it is.
The "phantom stab" problem pisses me off to no end.  There's nothing I hate more (possibly not true) than sneaking up on someone and having to stab them two, three, four, or five times before the hit registers.

Try sniping someone, scoring a headshot, but wait, no, you just dusted some brush off their helmet with your L96, you didn't really get a headshot. Then they mow you down with their PKM from 200m.

Yes, I'm bitter.

Battlefield 2 turning Star Wars eh? Sounds like an idea for a mod, or BF2142.

I'd like a right click option. Like left click is stab left, and right click is a slahing motion bringing it back to the original position. Would make knife fights go to the skilled instead of who's hits register first.

How bout we just make the knife a definite kill and not worry about the kung fu motions, but i like the idea anyway

Im glad to hear all you opinions on this, especialy the fact that the knife hit only registers  80% on the 2nd slash, so me and a buddy of mine have emailed and posted forums on the EA website at least asking for a 2nd mouse button stab motion like a forward thrust so its more straight and direct.
Although I've had to settle for putting a little black dot on my screen for where the knife will connect the enemy,helps a little but drive's me insane when Im trying to watch movies or read emails lol
