Please please please follow up with something better then that :/
Your post lacks any real substance or depth , the daily mail has more depth then this post.
Am not surprised you got hated on
You do have a point.
I should have made this post sooner.......damn it
The knife needs tuning along with a couple other factors in this game.
Of course how the game works right now is the image of the dev team we can't demand they change it to suit are image.
Saying that I do think the knife in it current form is broken
The term panic knifing comes from the fact that you may react first but you die
Yet the other player panics and presses a buttons kills you
It annoying to die due to the knife if you reacted first.
So what my problem with the knife to put it simply you can use it as a primary weapon. I think it should be a weapon of last resort not the first thing you do.
BF3 has returned the knife to where it should be a weapon of last resort. It one thing I praise about that game.
But the knife is underpowered in BF. No the knife is where it should be strong and a weapon of last resort.
Only people who say the knife is underpowered are the ones who only played COD style shooters and not ones before that style.
Saying that the knife in COD should be tuned for COD not BF3. So how BF has done the knife may not the be the best idea for COD.
As to how to tune the knife could be less damage , less range , press twice to use etc
You need to play test it.
Right now close combat in this game is a joke , the knife should not be king of close combat when you have nothing left knife.

Panic knife is the second lamest term/excuse in COD. Tryhard being the first.
I suck at knifing so I using try to shoot guys 2 feet away which in all honesty is my fault. If a guy is close enough to knife you....YOURE CLOSE ENOUGH TO KNIFE HIM. Only time knifing sucks is when you add lag into the equation otherwise have some awareness. The knife in this game isn't MW2 or even BO bad...
I believe the knife lunge is the same as bo.
It still broken and needs tuning but then again
Maybe i come from a age where close combat was not press one button and win. Only time you used a knife is when you run out of ammo and could not reload in time.
Maybe am more of a hardcore gamer and played more shooters other then COD style.

Why would you want to remove the knife?
As many times as your saying you get killed by it
I sure you use it just as much. I don't see why people frown upon so called panic knifing. You should praise them for having quicker reactions, as that is what it comes down to.
As for it being overpowered would you rather it underpowered like in BF?
You knife someone and they just stand there :dumb:
If you are a real soldier you could easily kill with one knife swipe, most soldiers would know where the main arteries are and can easily kill you.
The knife breaks close combat quite simply
Look at my above post for information why.
On the reaction time thing that BS lol
I reacted way way faster then the guy who knifing me yet i die due to him pressing one button.
Current number of knife kills vs knife deaths , my deaths far out way kills by knife.
In fact it almost my number 3rd most died by weapon on MW3
Only people who support the current knife system are people who grew up with COD knife system.
BF3 follows the same knife system that was done in shooters way before COD. Where it was only used as a last resort not a primary weapon.
IF it was realistic then alot of things that COD does would have to change.
Like damage , the HUD , how you move etc
So don't try and say the knife is realistic in COD.
