A Quick Time Event as seen on Battlefield 3
Quick Time Events (abbreviated as QTEs) are a gameplay feature in the Battlefield Series.
Overview[]
Quick Time Events are scripted actions or events that produce various outcomes depending on the player. They require the player to press prompted buttons that appear on screen; failure to do so will result in either death or a slightly different outcome from that which appears if successful. When playing the mission Comrades, for example, if a player fails the two Quick Time Events in the bank, the script will still move on with Vladimir performing the action instead.
Battlefield 3[]
QTEs are available in both Singleplayer and Co-op modes of Battlefield 3, usually in close-combat encounters. They involve having players partake in hand-to-hand combat, defusing bombs, movement, and shooting.

Trivia[]
- DICE had intended to implement QTEs in Battlefield 3 for knife takedowns but this was cut from the final game.
- There is almost always a musical cue that plays when a QTE can be initiated.
- There are approximately twenty QTEs in Battlefield 3's campaign.
- If the player is using a left handed gaming mouse, the way Windows and the driver communicate forces the player to press the opposite mouse button to the one being displayed during the QTE.
