Please no one button kill quick knives in Planetside 2!

I'd prefer it if knives did minimal damage from the front, double damage from the back, and also had a "charged" attack where you could hold down the mouse button for 2-3 seconds behind an unsuspecting victim for a finishing move.

i am 100% against 1 hit knife kills , but if we do get a quick knife with a type of system like headcrab describes i would be able to live with that

but i think this will also be one of those things we will get a vote on once launch comes

Sneaking up on somebody and successfully murdering them with the knife has always been one of the most exciting, heart pumping experiences I've had in Planetside and indeed any game, and it has been that satisfying the many years I've played.
I always felt the knife was hard to get kills with, but in a world filled with heavily armored soldiers with advanced guns, shouldn't it be?
I'm still for the knife being an equipped weapon as before, but I do recognize that it can't be its own dedicated play style as it is now. If that's what the devs intend or not, I don't know.
