I did this with with HakkapeliittaFIN, Eliittihemuli and GunjackFIN (Who I think did absolutely nothing in this video, but is seen couple times.) Oh, also pasikuikka was on this too and is seen couple of times.
Anyway... Animations.. Hmm - Yeah. Pretty cool animations in BF4 overall. But to be honest, I liked the animations much more in BF3. Not because they were so "new" back then, but only because I think those animations were a lot more refined than they're in BF4. There is quite many bugs in the animations on BF4. I don't mean GAME CRASHING HUGE UUBER BUGS. I mean little ones, which were not in BF3. For example:
- "Crouching, Right side, Knifer" -animation does not have any sounds for some reason. Only the "background" sound here in the video. However, on every other angles (Victim and 3th person) there is a sound. I think there is some kind of bug and the sounds really are made into the game, but are not activated for some reason.
. There is a lot of "going inside the knifer" moments. On victim's perspective in "Right side, standing" the knifers hand goes inside you, grabbing your hearth with the dog tags too. As well as on crouching, behind animation. You go inside the knifer when he turns your head. A lot of these are seen, unfortunately.
- Also when you are killed in front when proning, you will die in a delay (as featured on the bloopers). And when knifing someone from the front who is crouching and he won't counter, the actual kill happens when you knock the enemy out with your knee.
Those are just couple examples... I hope DICE would refine these animations, so that they would look a much more cooler and smoother. And I wish the swings would do damage again when in tight close quarters situations and there is no room for an animation. Anyway, I think my ultimate favorite knife animation is "Prone, Behind". I just like the jump the knifer makes and it looks pretty smooth.
Oh, and I'm sorry there is couple of times, when sound is being heard from my friends' microphones. Especially on the 3th person, standing, in front, countered animation. For some reason I didn't notice that, when I was editing.
I guess that is all. I wish DICE would have put some more effort to the knifing in general than just put the counter animations as a new addon and take the damage away. Basically a big "nerf" for knife, but meh, I think I can live with it. It still is in some certain situations really cool, but sometimes just really not so efficient than it was used to be.
