    Will the melee kills be cinematic like killzone or battlefield?
    Or will they be like the BC2 knife?

    I have no idea, but I just hope it's nothing over the top movie like or anything silly like that.

    Well from the 12 minute trailer the knifr animation seemed far more like a BBC2 knife rather than the highly scrpted melee in KZ3 but remember this is pre alpha footage so changes shouldn't be a surprise.

    I just hope that the knife will be selectable, altrough the silent take down is nice if its done well, A quick knife not so much.

    Yeah, thinking this over, the quick knife is a little ridiculous, unless it's held in one of the hands supporting the gun (ie: Metal Gear Solid). It will be interesting to see if they change it, or whatever. :) Release date... :/

    I'm hoping the knife is selectable, as it's a part of the rough survival aspect of metro 2033. The quick knife changes the gameplay and trivialises the game imo. Plus, it's stupid to think you'll be fighting with your gun up and a quick knife if you run out of bullets. You should absolutely be able to change to your knife.

    I just think that it should either be selectable OR it should only be for silent takedowns, then use a bayonet for quick-knifes.

    This.
    If you want to 'quick-knife' someone, you should have to use the bayonet on the end of your weapon; not whip out your knife, use it and sheath it again with lightning speed.

    lol the war hammer could be like a free thing when pre ordering.
    Kinda like Red Faction Guerilla giving out the duck weapon or something.
    Or in Red Faction Armageddon that pony that farts rainbows.

    Yep, they probably not going to change that ;)
    The problem is that they maybe having a cod-like quick knife instead of a selectable one.

    I hope the knife- kill animations will be better than those in the previous game. It is really challenging allowing stealth- kills because it lets you choose weather you play it the "russian way" xD, or use tactics and hit them before they knew it.

    I really do hope that the knife is a selectable slot. Artyom, although he's been through quite a bit, is not a pro. He got by with a LOT of help from his friends. I just can't see the transition between fumbling for his knife and charging an enemy before he pops a shot off to being able to perfectly operate a minigun and being a pro with the combat knife. I liked the fact that the combat knife was Artyom's last resort in battle. It was not predictable, which, using a knife in a gun battle would most likely be. I personally liked the unpredictability. My two cents^^
