Former Battlefield 5 Multiplayer Producer “Fought Hard” Against BF5 Time to Kill Changes

battlefield 5 events

With the big Battlefield 5 6.2 patch releasing tomorrow, a lot of players are looking forward to the changes given they are reverting most weapon and damage models back to how it was (BF5 5.0 values according to DICE). For those not happy with the current BF5 time to kill (TTK), it seems the game’s former Multiplayer Producer was on your side when it comes to BF5 time to kill changes previously made by the studio in previous patches.

Announcing his departure from the studio back in January, (former) Battlefield 5 Multiplayer Producer David “tigger” Sirland announced on March 3 that it was his last day at DICE.

In announcing that, some Battlefield fans asked him about a few touchy subjects regarding Battlefield 5, and naturally, it dived into some BF5 time to kill changes discussion, Sirland commented matter-of-factly to a fan on Twitter that he “fought hard” against changing the BF5 TTK in the first place, but other people felt differently, hence here we are.

For those wondering, Sirland was in charge of Battlefield 5 multiplayer “until launch,” and a few months after that, though he had to take a parental leave soon after, wherein a lot of changes happened to the game both “good and bad.”

While Sirland’s tweets might be a good example on how DICE managed to alienate some of its player base (and even devs, it seems) when it comes to the changes the studio made regarding weapons, damage models and whatnot, players are getting the changes they want in tomorrow’s patch.

Speaking of which, you can read up on the full patch notes for tomorrow here.

Are you surprised at Sirland’s admission or not really? What’s your stance on BF5’s TTK currently? Is it really that bad or are players overreacting? Sound off in the comments below.

No it was really that bad. Dice already pulled this crap last year with their community screaming at them not to touch TTK and they did it anyway. Then the idiots turned around and did the same damn thing again. They deserve every bit of the backlash they got. I have never seen any dev so out of touch with the community. It is just sad to watch. They are destroying what once was my favorite franchise. Sadly I have yet to see a good product out of them since BF4. (After Dice LA fixed Dice Sweden’s steaming pile of mess that is.)

I think some of the changes studios like DICE does to TTK and such are for the newbies. I mean that in the sense that they want these people to get a fighting chance against vets and such. Just a hunch though.

That said, wouldn’t work since the BFV meta is lying prone and MMG your way into multi-kills. LOL!

DICE just isn’t what it was back in the day. Pretty much a joke now and they’ve destroyed a once beloved franchise.
