The new 12 v 12 limited time mode Killswitch is live! What are your thoughts? I’m gonna jump on it and provide feedback later.

I've disliked all the limited time modes, I thought this one would be different. But it's not.
The truth is, these modes just don't work well and inherent all the flaws from how the maps were at launch.
For instance, on Hourglass, one of the objectives is underneath that arch but not in the tunnel and who ever controls the bridge, controls the objective because there's literally no cover to shield the objective from the bridge. It's so incredibly thoughtless.
I feel like the mode was designed exclusively for Redacted, which it probably plays best on. And which makes the most sense for it to be on, why are these synthetic cyborgs appearing on other maps?
I truly believe, limited time modes just don't work for Battlefield. They stray too far from the formula that's fun and engaging, the formula that utilizes the sandbox tools that make Battlefield fun.
Instead of entirely different "game modes", these limited time "modes" should be limited time "events" that take place within the Conquest, Breakthrough and Rush modes, both in AoW and Portal. Such events could be a limited time AC-130 that's from a non-player faction that attacks both teams. Night maps, more disruptive weather events, such as a tornado that actually does something and disables the objective or sector it's affecting. There's so many possibilities and yet the dullest ones are pursued because they sell skins. Skins could also be sold with much better content, like more maps.
The major flaw is that teams can very easily get spawn trapped. The games I've played so far are all very lobsided
- @S3SSioN_SoL i can agree with you on the maps part, it's very "un-battlefield-like" it seems to have small quarters maps with less areas of exposure, but with how responsive 2042 has been, i think these style of maps would actually work in the game. In previous battlefields, I felt that animations and just the gameplay in general was slower paced, so I feel like a lot of the maps were designed around that aspect. Dunno how taboo it is to say they should throw in some CoD style maps, but I think they would be fun, especially in the custom game modes.
