Battlefield 6 Features New “Quick Turn” Mechanic That Looks Like You’re Cheating on Consoles
While the Battlefield series hasn’t exactly been known for its fast-paced movement, it seems that DICE may be trying to change that a bit with Battlefield 6, as several new and returning features seem to give players more movement options. But there is one that has been recently discovered that has caught the eye of the community, with some being okay with it, while many are calling for its removal.
If you see this in action, it seems like someone is cheating, which is jarring the first time we’ve seen it.
This Might Be TOO Much Movement Even for Battlefield
As pointed out by Streamer TacticalBrit on X (formerly Twitter), Battlefield 6 features an option known as “flick look,” which allows players to automate a 180-degree turn at the press of a single button, something that’s quite hard to do using a controller.

While the feature has been in other online shooters, for the Battlefield franchise, it’s pretty new and was mostly only achieved via macros, or someone setting their sensitivity all the way up and having the skills to time it right. Not anymore, at least in the Open Beta, as players can turn around in an instant after assigning the flick look backwards to whatever button they may desire.
Those using Pro controllers, such as the DualSense Edge, Xbox Elite, or any controller with back paddles, can also map this action to those buttons after assigning the corresponding button to one of them.
Now, a debate has arisen within the community regarding whether this type of movement has a place in Battlefield. Some are perfectly fine, while it seems that a majority agree the feature should be removed before it starts getting abused.
I’m someone who would probably never use it, though that might explain why I’ve seen some enemies turn around so quickly and gun me down during the open beta.

I think it is too much fast really. They should make it neither slow of fast, just normal is great.
