These TTK changes man... This feels like amateur hour. It seems like they're applying a blanket 15% bodyshot damage multiplier reduction. First: that's backward. Bodyshots should always be x1 damage, and everything else should be based off it.

Third: of the one thing people really liked about this game, it was the enjoyable gunplay. Why would you screw around with a good thing?

Heck I forgot. Fourth: the changes don't affect headshots so if the TTK is fustrating, it's going to be even more fustrating when you're used to a 25% longer TTK on bodyshots but sometimes you die randomly way faster than normal.

Replying to @DRUNKKZ3
@DRUNKKZ3 is it possible to get a more thorough explanation of exactly how DICE's data shows that it is specifically the TTD that is causing player churn, and not the myriad of other issues? And how has the existing 1 frame death TTD bug been factored out of the equation?

Would be interesting to see a player churn rate graph showing before and after the change...

I think DICE ought to take a leaf out of Agile software development's book and spend more time talking with the client (players), collecting user stories and basing where they invest their development on that. #BFV practice range is a clear example of why...

I wish I knew how the team in charge of #BFV practice range managed to put in so much work making so many new features not in BF4 test range, yet forgot to include the most important thing: being able to practice with the weapons as they are in multiplayer: with specializations.
1
Did they know we'd moan about it but they didn't give themselves time to work on a system to equip specializations, or were the people working on it just not clued in to the fact that specializations are a thing that considerably affect gun performance that we'll want to test?
Lets get down to business: Battlefield V is in my opinion the best Battlefield title since BF4. That is more of a criticism of BFH and BF1 than it is a glowing endorsement. The game has good potential but I'm sad to see it let down by a recurring problem.

The problem that strikes the Battlefield franchise time and time again is this: Developers not learning lessons. Maybe that comes off as harsh and undiplomatic but I don't know how else to put it. BF5 is facing issues already tackled by previous title maintenance projects

Why does my minimap not show revivable team mates? Why does my minimap not show ammo or med boxes put down by players? Why does my minimap not show ammo/med carrying players when I ask for those things via the com rose? We had these in previous titles, why are they gone?
Well it's been a while since I've tweeted from this account, but I've been playing Battlefield 5, and I've got some things to say about it, and my personal twitter doesn't have so many followers, so... I'm back? Maybe?
Do you ever feel sorry for diehard helicopter battlefielders?
