So I think the knife mechanics have changed and wanted to know if anyone can confirm or deny.

I myself have felt it and have heard others mention it, when you swing the knife you just swing through them and knife the wall instead of killing them.

I belive what has happened is that EA has put in a knife "head shot." When you are properly aimed at the head area, you will "old school knife them," IE bring the knife from backwards and look to stab them in the head.

However, if you are aimed at their body or torso you swing through, still causing damage I believe but not killing them. I think it takes two knife swings to kill someone.

i tend to see patterns that the "swing" tends to work more often when your being shot but for the "stab" hell idk..something i get the swing when i am for the head

All I do with the knife is STAB PEOPLE! 1# sneakiest way to get killed by.

knife = nerfed -- like totally nerfed without the lunge too!

I have no problem stabbing people (Recons) with my knife. But that's just me. :\

something i get the swing when i am for the head - Oh really?

I fail 90% of the time when trying to knife people right in front of me now... it sucks!

I also must note that I believe that if you get a knife stab in the back it is a one hit kill. ( As all knives should be...).

The two times I've been stabbed I've just got massive rage and smashed the crap out of the person that stabbed me. I got bottled once and that fucking stung though, it might be worth putting a broken bottle in lol. Having you need to be behind someone and stab them in the brainstem is more realistic but it does make it harder to kill someone.

Now that Bayonets seem to be under discussion this might make the knife mechanics debate irrelevant. Either way Defib is the shiznit when it comes to close quarters

That begs the question, if you can revive someone through the wall can you defib kill the enemy through one?

doubt it and as for the knife not sure but the super knife just goes to work on anything effectively, no complaints

What is this super knife of which you speak ?

Probably BFH

He's in a BFH squad so...ya

With the latest patch on PC, I've had no problems, I knife and kill all the time, but prepatch, it was a f****** nightmare usually ending in the knifer's death.

Idk today I was playing and I had a lunge going once, but I got caught on a piece of wood and ended up having that thing happen where you stab air and hear a 'thunk' lol
