Interesting, I honestly haven’t noticed any real difference. Constantly being one tapped by pistols sucks or firing first with a smg and still dying to a pistol.
There probably wasnt any change. But the first time you experienced this TTD probably was much more infuriating than it is now. You kind of get used to it after a while and forget to rage about it. Lol
It really feels as if the Battlefield “Live Service” is just a codeword for Early Access. Usually Early Access games are cheaper for early buyers, but Electronic Arts is always innovative and has decided to reverse that and instead charge late buyers less than early adopters.
Jokes aside, I think it’s better to push these kinds of tests to the main game and not just a CTE that’s only played by a small minority. It should become obvious pretty quickly if the new TTK means a better or worse experience when so many players are testing it.
It’s classic DICE, they get complaints about something which might or might not need to be changed to improve the game (a lot of people seem to complain just to hear the sound of their own voice) and then overreact, nerfing or buffing something too much. Then, later, they realize they went too far so they have to roll back the change, e.g. when they realize players have stopped using the nerfed weapon which is no longer worth equipping–rinse and repeat.
Funny, when bf1 ttk was changed and there was an overwhelming negative feedback in these forums you were first to note that the forums did not represent the community as it was a very small sample. But 650+ (supposedly unique) people does?
I have gotten used to the ttk (except when playing sniper) and find that two separate server settings will divide the community. But let’s see.
Aim for the head, problem solved.

What about starting with more ammo?. Higher TTK = More lead.
Well, I guess it’s a good thing I had more time around the game’s release to play it a bunch before they stupidify it in a desperate attempt to fix their sales.
Going to be a Circus for the next 2 years as DICE just can’t leave anything alone.
Fix the game first.
Slowing the TTK is actually increasing TTK. You both are saying the same thing.
I can’t imagine that the bullets to kill increase will be more than one for any given weapon so I don’t know if this would be necessary.
But then there’s the butt loads more of casual players who bought this game that don’t bother with frequenting official forums,reddit, nor surveys . They just buy the game every year regardless cause they love to blow steam after work or on days off.
The only way to prove which ttk is the most popular is for Dice to track data which I’m 100% sure is happening instead of relying on those thousand plus hardcore BF players because you know…they’renot the whole community.
I couldn’t care less either way,just as long as ttd is better.
This seems like an effort to bring in some more players. I hope it doesn’t backfire and they actually lose them.
I still die from full autos in a single visual and sound frame of hitmarkers.
If players want something more hardcore then they should go play World War 3. Battlefield for a long time has been to appeal to the mass audiences. This is a bi-annualized game put out by ea what do you expect.
Several people have analyzed how all this “live service” is for EA for the sake of rushing incomplete games without being yelled at as much.
I would not be surpised if they already roped dice to begin developing a battlefront 3 or some extra BF title for next year
Sometimes it’s just so random. You can have a medic shooting at you first from behind, turn and kill him fast. Other times it’s you dying from some lame gun seemingly across the map in one shot. Someone posted this before but it seems more like a dice roll instead of rock-paper-scissors. DICE roll!
No one is being forced to play the new TTK. They are moving that and making a separate game mode. Nice over there and stop with the childish hash tags
Well done to DICE for listening to the majority. Soon you will see how empty the old ttk serves will be and finally realise that the majority rule.
I gathered the whole point of the current TTK system was for players to be more tactical, to move slower, check your corners and take advantage of the fortification system(which has turned out to be pretty bad ¯_(ツ)_/¯)? Are we going to now have a system like BF1 where players with the fastest guns run in like maniacs and tear up the place? My gun of choice is the Gewehr 1-5, does that mean I go from a 3-4 shot kill to a 4-6 shot kill?
How are you going to be able to tag someone at long range with an assault rifle? After 2-3 hits they’ll just step aside to avoid dying.
“How are people going to be punished for playing like f**king idiots?” xgmoneydtx
I realize it currently isn’t live, but I’ll tell you what a huge relief it was for myself and my clan mates when there were no changes to TTK last patch.
