You don’t expect them to be a threat, and when you die at 100m from an SMG it feels wrong and it’s frustrating.” More problematic are long range deaths with weapons that are marked for short range. “A death is less punishing when you feel like the kill was skill on the part of the enemy. According to Freeman, players should lose close-range encounters where they fail to identify a threat quickly enough, but DICE wants to retool the experience so that fans still feel that they had a chance to react - not just die.
It’s common for players to feel they’re outright “deleted” by folks that they never see. In Battlefield, which features realistic terrain and huge maps, visibility is a huge problem. Global community manager Freeman says something that will feel familiar to anyone who has ever played an online game: “You quit when you are shot in the back, without having an opportunity to face your enemy.” In response to those arguments, DICE has posted a major explainer on the game’s subreddit called “ Responding to your concerns - Update 5.2” that gives us a sneak peek behind the curtain - namely, the actual factors that cause players to rage quit their games in Battlefield 5. Time to Kill measures the amount of damage a player can take before being removed from play, and it’s proving to be the centerpoint of many of Battlefield 5’s current debates - players on social hubs claim that it’s one of the best parts of the game’s balance right now. Update 5.2 is on its way, and discussion around the existing time to kill in multiplayer led developer DICE to talk about what pain points cause players to abandon the game.
The game will be sticking around for some time - there won’t be another Battlefield title until 2022, according to Electronic Arts. Battlefield 5 suffered a rough launch, and developers DICE have been wrist-deep in the multiplayer of the game since.
