Battlefield 5 will launch with a 60hz tick rate

Battlefield and Call of Duty have been historic rivals, and Battlefield V will have at least one big advantage over Black Ops 4 - at least at launch. DICE’s big-scale shooter will feature a 60hz tick rate on PC at a minimum, and that’s set to improve after release day, which should be a big relief to shooter fans disappointed by server performance in Black Ops. In response to a fan’s question, multiplayer producer David Sirland says “We will start out with the same settings [as] BF1. 30hz on console, 60hz on PC. But that's a start, and we'll invest in improving that too.” That applies to the big modes that Battlefield is best known for, and Sirland adds in a further follow-up on Twitter that “120hz is of course supported for smaller modes when they enter the fray.” This comes after Black Ops 4 received a wave of criticism for degraded tick rate compared with the beta, after one Reddit-bound analysis suggested a cut from around 60hz to 20hz. Treyarch has directly addressed those concerns in various update notes, including one posted moments ago.
