Maybe the equipable knife will always do lethal damage, whereas the quick knife is reduced.

Just a speculation.

It has been speculated that it actually takes two goes for a knife kill, as opposed to a single stab. Thats probably with the quick knife hopefully, so the actual useable one has has more of an advantage, at the loss of not having an gun available.

Which is a blatant lie.
An identical 8-way dial is used in Lego Harry Potter to select the spells:
Pressing and holding a single button pops up the dial, pushing the right analog stick in one of the 8 directions and the releasing the button selects the desired action.

If anything, a commo-rose as we're used to from BF2, will work easier with an analog stick or even directional buttons than with a mouse.

Of course, you can not possible allow control of the full commo-rose while simultaneously moving and shooting, but that was never the cause in BF2 either. I think it's just that the developers believe that console players are just too damn stupid or motorically handicapped.

It would actually be so very easy to combine the new quick key function from BFBC2 and the classic commo-rose from BF2:
Pressing and holding Q opens the commo-rose with the cursor stays in the center, where, when aimed at a context-sensitive target, triggers the auto-function as it does in BFBC2.
All the other commo-rose options can be selected by moving the cursor with your mouse or analog stick.

Goddamnit, I want to be able to play the whole game, not get it butchered and served in small pieces across the globe.

Such disdain for snipers.  Back on BF2, we were the only ones spotting and softening up targets for you.  Putting too much sway will just make it worse for your team.  It's not like the noob snipers will give up sniping.  They'll just be worse at it.
No, you were either sitting in the back getting spare kills,  not attacking points or you were spamming claymores and being faggots. Fuck snipers. Ruin every single fucking game.
Must you moan about snipers on every single page? Really...

Don't get me wrong I'm not bitter. I accept change more than most (playing 2142, BC2 and not whining the whole way through).

I'm not wanting it to be bf2, but rather have the revolutionary charm, the innovation. Hoping it will not be like every other fggty COD game.

While I'm getting this for PC and Console, hopefully on console they'll add private match modes (unranked) that requires less than 8 players.  One of the features that MW got right.

'4 man squad, including a Squad Leader ' why not 6? Since its going to be 64 players the pc anyway.

'Kill Cam (new form, TBA)

because 6 doesn't go into 64 for a start.
But 8 does.

i dont think it will be.
They are well aware that CoD is their greatest competator i also think that they know about CoDs weakness being innovation. So i dont think they'll copy it.
They might take certain elements from it though (not CoD-only per se) like the close quarters fast paced arena combat in certain maps (like in the demo)
I hope they take some shit form BC2 as well and take all the good things from their games (and others) from the past 5 years and manage to slam em in one game and make it work.
Now that would be the best case scenario, but thats not my expectation. The way it looks now is already pretty cool though.

I think the game is showing a lot of promise. Measuring it against a now six year old game is pointless when you consider the computers we are running today compared to back then and the games that have come out since that influence, for better or worse, how games are developed today.

At the end of the day their job is to create the best game possible across multiple platforms. As much as I would love it to be dedicated solely for PC, it would be a dumb move, business wise. So I've accepted there will be things I do not like and hope that the positives outshine any criticisms I have enough for me to thoroughly enjoy the game.

Looking forward to the beta.

Me too, hence the rest of the post without the paraphrasing.
