Good to see the character models and knife animations have changed

They weren’t too violent but they were too long, that’s why they were changed IIRC.

PEGI 16 for us in Europe! It could’ve been that, don’t know what age ‘M’ (Mature) stads for though.

its just a knifing animation, nothing is wrong with it, im unaffected

Mature is for ages 17+. Usually for first person shooters with blood and guns and swearing and things like that.

[For anyone that is curious what all the alpha knife animations looked like] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=csUeGjUMALk)

I don’t even want an animation.. I miss the bc2 knife. You could quickly knife a whole squad if you were a little sneaky.

The great thing about the bc2 knife animation was that it was short. So you could be in and out quickly and not get shot

Says the guy working for DICE.

Prealpha

Who cares if they use the same animations for knifing? They look good and work well for the purpose. Your paying $60 for a new campaign, guns, multiplayer, maps and lots more. When your running around blowing up tanks and crashing jets into mountains, are you really going to care that the characters look the same (this is a stupid one, they are in the same team, why would they magically get a new uniform?). Let them spend the money on making better graphics, or a better muitplayer, if they have more money to spend on the things that matter more, the game will be better. Stop whining about animations, enjoy the game and just have fun.

Dice is not a multi-billion dollar company.

It does not cost “a couple of hundred dollars” to re-do animations, unless you think it only takes one artist less than one day…

Sorry, but on behalf of the internet, I kindly ask you to comment on something you know about.

But then we would have COD instead of BF.

It’s not final yet so there is still no word if there will be new characters (skins) or even a new knife animation. I actually like the Medal of Honor’s Axe take-down. Pretty brutal.
