Time to Kill and Balance in Battlefield 6 Is a Joke

I want to seriously discuss the time to kill in battlefield 6

Are you seriously telling us that dying in 13 to 15 milliseconds is acceptable in a AAA shooter? Because that is exactly how many fights feel right now. You peek and you are instantly deleted with almost no reaction window.

This is not just about hit registration.
This is not just about bloom.

This is not just about netcode.

The overall combat balance feels fundamentally broken.

Key problems:

• Fights end too fast and feel unfair
• Guns kill so quickly that you barely have time to react
• Movement speed and weapon damage do not match well together
• Many gunfights feel random instead of skill based
• Sometimes it feels like you are dead before you even understand what happened

This was supposed to be a four year AAA development cycle.

So serious questions need to be asked:

• Were these time to kill values actually tested in real match conditions
• Did the balance team sit down and play long competitive sessions
• Is there real gameplay validation before pushing changes live

The developers at DICE responsible for weapon balance and combat pacing need to explain this.

And now we are getting Update 1.2.1.5, which is being presented as a major patch, but where is the real balance work? Where are the meaningful adjustments to time to kill, weapon tuning, and combat pacing? Stability fixes and minor tweaks are not enough when the core gunplay feels this inconsistent.

If this is what passes for a big update in a full price AAA game, then something is seriously wrong with the internal testing and balance process. Right now the game does not feel tuned, it does not feel competitive, and it definitely does not feel like the result of a polished four year development cycle.
