Flick look back

I'm inclined to agree. At the very least, there needs to be a bit more of a penalty when using it. It seemed a bit too quick and effective in the videos I've seen.  

I'm glad they added it. As a controller player I can now do the same thing m&k players do with a flick of their wrist.

You seem to think that PC players just flick their mouse 180 degrees? That barely ever happens. You'd need a pretty terrible opponent to even give you the opportunity to shoot back while you've already got your back turned towards them. 

It doesn't belong in a Battlefield game.  What do you expect from the head dev coming from COD. 

At the risk of sounding silly, what's this "Flick look back" thingy, I'm on PS5 and don't know what it is?

Asking because I'm getting it Friday.

You will make 180 degrees turn in an instant by pressing a single button.

Although I see some reasons why to have it for gamepads, I also don't like it much. It should at least have some duration/delay and shouldn't turn you around immediately.
