i think it's way more realistic in bad company then the distance issues of CoD
What's that got to do with the animation?
but when thers 3 other players who are knifing the air every few seconds around you all game, it gets annoying, and it sounds like there fu**ing, the girl and the soldier knifing sounds like that.
My personal favourite is the overlong yell that your character lets off in Fallout 3 and NV when you charge your melee attack.
HHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUHHHH!!!
