I say maybe to TF2 backstabbing, or to be precise instagib backstabbing.
I like the way you can prevent backstabs in Crysis2 MP. There is a suit module, that basically gives you a proximity alarm. So if you have it, it starts to beep everytime enemy enters a certain radius around you. The closer the enemy is, the more beeping it does. So if you hear it, you're most likely to forget about sniping and to investigate the source of beeping. Plus, when backstabbing, you become visible and vulnerable for a second, while animation lasts. A solution I'd really like to see in PS2 if there will be any instagib backstabbing.

This. While 1-shot knives suck hard, so does basically getting grenade spammed or some doofus running up to you with a handgun point blank and unloading into your rear. Even worse if it's a Vanu with a magnum: you can barely hear that thing go off. At least with a knife, SOE could work in an animation that reveals the cloaker, and locks him and his victim into the animation. Maybe even turn on the knife automatically so it's also loud. This would make knife kills from cloakers more of a lone-wolf punishment tool... for their victim, but likewise punish a cloaker for attempting a knife kill among a group of enemies. Kind of balances itself out in my mind.
