It would depend on how well the netcode works. I'm not even sure that there will be many opportunities for backstabs; there wasn't in PS1, unless you were an infiltrator (who have a bit harder time in PS2). The nature of the game won't allow knife executions very often, but it is a niche that should be filled with something besides something as awkward as shooting.
