QuickTimeEvent

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.

Battlefield 4[]

Quick Time Events are seen throughout Battlefield 4's campaign, they are also seen in multiplayer when performing a Counter-knife attack.

Battlefield Hardline[]

QTEs are also seen throught some episodes in Battlefield Hardline's campaign, like surviving alligator attack.

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.
