Lately in BF4, when somebody tries to knife me from the front, and I counter in the proper way, my hand just gets slapped away, to be knifed anyway!! This is freakin’ frustrating!! Is there any way to counter this?? ---

Simply Lag, How ever, Sometimes when you’re shooting while the animation starts up the game recognises this as a fail so you don’t have a option to counter knife. It’s easy to see this when using a semi auto weapon. ---

The whole knifing system in bf4 is broken in general. I played a game where a bunny hopping knifer kept running straight up to me and knife me. Game kept counting it as a back knife when it very clearly was from the front. Thing is just a broken system. ---
