I’d occasionally play Rush w friends in BF4 and BF1. Not my fav but I’d do it to hang w my bros and throw around ammo on my Support or revives on my medic/Assault. I’m only trying it out in 2042 because of the weekly challenge. Speaking with a clear conscience and with all sincerity, 2042 Rush is one of the worst gaming experiences I’ve had in any Battlefield game. Attackers get a Condor on several maps and defenders get nothing. For any decent pilot it’s an AC-130 Gunship EXP farming simulator. It’s grotesque.I cannot comprehend who in their right mind thinks this is enjoyable for defenders. Attackers should have the Blackhawk! Not the AC-130 gunships(Hind/Condor). Please NEVER, EVER tie weekly challenges to a single mechanic in a single game mode. Complete a round of Rush perhaps. But the arm or disarm thing? It’s infuriating. I really want to love 2042 like I love all other Battlefield games and I really want to tell all of my BF friends to come back and play but these types of game design decisions make that hope impossible.

Rush should only have civilian vehicles imo

@Zhukov211 Yeah...with air it's absolute trash. With just ground forces though, even with armor, it can be alright. But it just feels...bleh. I hate the "arm/defuse" mission so much, just make it a "Play X rounds", because I'm like 8 rounds in and still struggling to complete the weekly mission.

How about the entire experience is horrible. The dev team has had forever to get it right and it is still garbage. Nothing works as advertised. There should be mass firings over this. There won't be though, same bs as always. Ignore the negative reviews and only focus on the talking heads telling you what you want to hear. Absolute garbage offering.

Had the same problem last night. I somehow managed to defuse 2 times and quitted the rush mode. It took me about 3 hours to deactivate 2 armed objectives :/

Rush takes a lot more coordination with so few players. Not having squad orders and acknowledgments definitely make it less coordinated. They should take out all armor and at most have LATVs, Hovercraft, ATVs, Pickups, and TukTuks.

2042 Rush is frustrating and not fun

@MoeGunnzz219I’m sincerely happy for you.

Though I have to imagine you must really love being farmed by the Hind and Condor while trying to defend objectives that have TERRIBLE COVER, while having no air vehicles for your own team. 💪🏻
So just imagine any game mode you that cannot stand, dare I say HATE with every fiber of your being, and then imagine be forced to play it over and over and over for a weekly challenge.

I don't understand what's so "horrible" about 16v16 vanilla 2042 Rush with stock vehicles and classic maps? To complete this weeks battle pass mission all you have to do is arm or disarm the objective twice and then you can quit out the match if you hate the mode so much. If you're having difficult arming an objective pop some smoke.

@protoman23 Vanilla Rush has Condors for attackers? Hmmm….

And the smoke comment, thanks Captain Obvious.

Flashback Rush BF2042 the featured portal experience has all stock vehicles. If stock vehicles are giving your trouble then I don't know what to tell you.
The condor with the grenade launcher is somehow ruining your experience?

@protoman23Perhaps English isn’t your first language. I just said that Condors are somehow in Rush. Yes Flashback Rush. The only Rush available that’s not a custom match.

FLASHBACK RUSH - BF 2042 - ON PORTAL - HAS CONDORS ON SEVERAL MAPS FOR ATTACKERS. It’s not BF3 vehicles.

That’s attackers only getting aircraft. None for defenders. That’s broken for defenders. Especially on such extremely small maps with limited cover on the objectives.

Are you even playing the game?
