I'm not sure about this. In a Halo game perhaps but not in planetside when the infiltrator class can be nearly invisible. At some point you need to be given an opportunity to defend yourself against the invisible attacker.

Perhaps if the infil was forced to decloak and the decloaking effect had a very audible sound. Or like in PS1 where the knife had different modes and the powerful mode made a sound (like the chainblade rev'ing or the force blade humming).

If they stick to that PS1 mechanic it might be OK since the player has a warning that a knife attack is coming. If not it could lead to some lame gameplay.
