I was thinking my knife was broken , not possible to knife people in back? pffffffffff false

I think they released the game too fast and are now repairing the errors gradually

yes they are fixing all the bugs step by step , but they are doing a lot of updates , some time ago were a job called beta tester, a beta tester was a player or group of players who had the objective of play a game and report all the bugs exploits glitches etc , some time ago a game only needed 1 or 2 patches , i know this game is complex is not easy to make it work , and they did a good work because the game is good, but well we have ....4 5 or 6 updates now,isnt it?, to much bugs , by the way to knife in back somebody you only have to press control or jump or shift at the same time that you press the knife boton.
About the new update (this week) , i like some changes, 1 important is you can put i/o in the server again.
See you in battlefield
By the way i noticed a lot of hackers again , hope the new update will do something about this
