We want to clarify how Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Domination, Rush, and Obliteration will rotate in the game. These rotations are designed to support overall matchmaking health and queue times across our most popular modes. These modes will run on a repeating two-week schedule: Playlist 1 — Tuesday through Monday

  • This week: Team Deathmatch + Domination
  • Next week: Team Deathmatch + King of the Hill

Team Deathmatch will remain in Playlist 1, while Domination and King of the Hill alternate each Tuesday. Playlist 2 — Friday through Thursday

  • This week: Obliteration
  • Next week: Rush

Obliteration and Rush will alternate each Friday. These rotations will continue back and forth throughout Season 4. Custom Search, Conquest, Breakthrough, Casual Breakthrough, and Escalation will remain available at all times. We'll continue monitoring matchmaking activity and performance as the season progresses. We'll communicate any changes to this schedule if they occur.

    I'm not sure this will solve the matchmaking problem plus this rotation schedule is unwanted from most player and won't solve the issue.

    Please just bring back rush as a permanent mode !

    Thanks for the clarification, feel like this wasn't communicated that great IMO.

    Personally I would just consolidate the 8v8 modes in a 'mixed infantry mode' playlist, and keep individual conq, escaltion, brkthrough, rush and obliteration servers. tdm, dom and koth all have simmilar enough moment-moment gameplay and engagement ramges that I usually just had all 3 on in custom search. Only having two 8v8 modes available at one time lowers the variety of the cqb gameplay and makes me less want to play cqb modes personally.

    I do agree that the waiting times for 8v8 modes could be a bit ridiculous and I'm glad it's being changed, but persistent servers/server browser at launch and/or console-only crossplay would have fixed the long mm times and meant that modes didn't need to be removed.

    I'm assuming squad deathmatch is also just gone now?

    I'm sorry, but this isn't acceptable at all. All gamers that bought this game should be able to play all marketed modes whenever they want, not when devs or whoever responsible for this change allows them to!

    It's like buying a car and having dealer say "you can drive it from mon to friday and on every other weekend"

    This has to be the dumbest **bleep** anyone could do. Just put them back in custom search.

    What will you do next put Conquest in Rotation? I mostly played Domination and KOTH  and Rush, now you removed them and I'm forced to play modes I don't want to play. Well Breakthrough was great until you butchered it with reducing the Player limit. This game was 10 times better on release.
