Bad Company 2 Knife system

If you guys noticed, there are two things which really suck about the knife system on bad company 2.

1. Your knife doesn't have a weapon slot; you can't hold it out

2. The knife is guided by an autoaim system, like in Call of Duty games and stuff

There's like no skill in this at all, some guy tried to jump over me when I started to knife him and it guided my aim the whole way...

What do u guys think?

I think its lame as hell. i also think that battlefield will never have another knife system such as 2142 because they call it stat padding, i don't think they'll ever make a knife system like it again. disappointing but i feel its the reality of it. in 2142 they tried to shut it down countless times.


p.s. Unless knifing is the point of the game that is.

Truly sad fact is that EA held Knife tournaments. Which in my opinion, sparked a need to perfect the knifing abilities of those that wanted to do better the next time a tournament came around. But then EA says to themselves, "OOOPS" and then tries to prevent knifing the best they could. That is almost like Nascar being taken to the public streets, then trying to prevent people from speeding.

The knife is nowhere near as guided as in cod. I don't know how many times I have had to swing multiple times to get the person. Granted, it is still some what guided, but not as bad as COD. You have to be aiming at the person when you begin the swing and are not able to adjust afterwards.

Heh. Good analogy! It's what EA wants to do; however, unfortunately for those of us who enjoy knifing, we get the proverbial shaft. Thus the evolution of gaming. Alienate one group to appeal to the masses.
