this was happening at least as far as two patches ago. its not new, not a change of any sort. in fact, i'll see if i can dig up the post i made about it having happened to me, sometime around v 1.21=NAA=TheTaxidermist wrote:
Anybody else noticed that the knives are no longer exclusively one-hit kill? Some guy tk'd me. So I went at him with a knife. I hit him once and it said "team-damage" and then one more jab killed him. Another time, I was waiting for a round to start and I was knife fighting somebody in a secluded area where I know nobody else was at. I got jabbed once and it took about half of my health bar away. The second jab I received killed me. Anybody else notice this? I don't remember it being on the list of changes.
Fuckin sucked man, I yesterday tried too knive him, stab him fuckin 3 times!! All I see is dust, guy turns around and kills me..
I really hope they havnt nerfed it but the examples above do justify more accuracy when knifing, so far i've been really lucky, 1 jab one kill. but hay when there patching anything can happen.
The knife wasn't changed. i stuck somebody yesterday and it killed 1 hit like normal.
When im a sniper seem to have 1 knife slice kills
but when a medic sometimes need a slice and a dice to finish the job

Some of you are misunderstanding what I mean. I already know about the puff of dust you get when you hit somebody. And I'm not saying that I never get one hit knife kills anymore. I'm just saying that sometimes the knife was taking away some damage, but not all of it. I don't ever remember it doing this before. I remember the puffs of smoke, but never half-damage.
If you stab em on the floor its usually OK for some reason but if your chasing them, it takes forever.

I guess they had to make it 2 hit kill now to make it harder for expert knife.

its always been that way...since ive played anyway....it's just the way the game is...
I cant remember if there was a time with no 2-stab-kills.
< Definitely BODY ARMOR doesnt seem to have anything to do with the amount of stabs needed. >
I still have to stab specops and snipers more then onnce in most cases. But i also had some strange knife kills against supporters at a range of 1,5m (5 foot) while moving like hell.

lol. You really beta test 2142 at EA? Puuurty cool. At least there's some "official" explanation about how crap the hit system with knives can be. =PMarconius wrote:
When all of us were playing BF2142 at EA, I ran into the "white smoke" problem even there. The project lead was standing behind me and instantly said "Oh no! You hit his armor!" after it took me two stabs to kill someone.
So anytime you stab someone and only get a puff of smoke, you are evidently hitting their armor...
I was thinking this could be a new unlock:
Yeah yeah, poor effort, but I used Fireworks...

Well - I suppose its OK. I mean, if you stab someone in the foot, it's not like they die within a few seconds, do they? Sure, they bleed a helluva lot, but that takes a few minutes at least.

Sure, but the problem is, when i cut someone's throat i expect him to die.Spark wrote:

Hey, i just got an idea. Why don't do it like in "Spliter Cell": A nice grab-hold-and-cut animation.
With the TK with knife it may just be the server setting. Like its been set to .50 or something.
Although i was going around knifing last night, seemed to kill everyone in one hit, killed a lot of snipers.. maybe they were ALL just on low health though =\
