DICE wants to compete against Treyarch, who push Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII out against Electronic Arts’ FPS this year.

Battlefield V‘s closed alpha is over, and DICE has revealed their thoughts, confirming that they will perform several tweaks for the best experience.

„[…] We will be adjusting both the Medic revive, and the buddy revive. It will overall feel less clunky, and we’ll also fix some delays – such as when you were done reviving and couldn’t move for a full second. We’ve already made the buddy revive around 2.5 seconds faster, and we will also assess if we need to adjust the Medic revive accordingly. We’re also aware that it could sometimes take quite a while before a player could initiate a revive and that the revive icon tended to be delayed.

[…] Players, in general, liked the war of attrition and having a limited number of bullets when deploying. We will tweak these numbers slightly for some weapons to get an optimal balance. […] The possibility of looting dropped ammo from dead players benefits certain classes more than others, and we’ll need to adjust the balance accordingly.

Players had fun with the Churchill Crocodile Tank and the V-1 Rocket. […] It was way too easy to be reinforced with the V-1 Rocket in Conquest, and though matches are supposed to escalate with these reinforcements at the end of a match, we will tone this down. Furthermore, details like blast radius and how you can be warned of (and potentially counter) the V-1 Rocket are being investigated.

When it comes to the Time to Kill, or TTK, we’ve seen some polarising feedback where some players felt they were being killed very fast when encountering enemies, while others felt the TTK was just right. This is something we will keep tweaking. TTK is not only determined by how powerful weapons are. For instance, it’s also related to how fast the game lets you react to being fired at. We’re looking at how fast can you assess a threat and understand from where the fire is coming. Giving you good communication on enemy fire will let you fight back and survive longer. We’re also fine-tuning the amount of camera shake that occurs when you’re hit. If these adjustments aren’t enough, we’ll look at tweaking the damage of weapons. Other factors affecting TTK (or “Time to Death” in this case) include what game mode you’re in. If you’re defending a sector in Breakthrough, you’ll often experience fire from one direction. Defending the same area in Conquest will present threats from different directions, but on the other hand, this is a mode where you are less likely to run into a higher number of people attacking you simultaneously. The visibility of other players, the new spotting system, and other variables will all need to be tweaked to get a TTK that we and the community are happy with,” their post reads.

Battlefield V will launch on October 19 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, and its open beta will start in early September!
