Redacted Breakthrough (perm. menu tile)

Hi Devs,

It's nice that you kept Redacted Conquest as a permanent tile in the Conquest main menu.

Can we please also have the same for the Breakthrough game mode? (ie. so there's a permanent tile for Redacted Breakthrough in the menu). I'm sure there's enough of us out there who prefer Breakthrough to Conquest.

There was already one week when you had Redacted up for both game modes - that was very handy. Please reintroduce this choice and keep it permanent for the duration of this season.

Thank you!

  • @after1lfe I agree with you, I put out this same exact thread about a week ago. Most seemed like they weren't enthusiastic about the idea

    The map is challenging indeed, which only makes it more interesting for the attackers. Besides, A1 is not that hard to take - the zone that follows (B1) is much more difficult.

    @after1lfe and @Karen0202 Opinions differ which is good of course. I tried Redacted Breakthrough in its launch week a couple of times and did not like it one bit, neither as attacker nor as defender.

    For you I'm afraid the people like you that enjoy Redacted Breakthrough are a minority. When Redacted Conquest got taken out of the weekly rotation the outcry of the community was that big that it was put back in the same day!  This didn't happen when Redacted Breakthrough was taken out. The difference of players interested in this specific map/mode combo will probably also show in the statistics of players per map/mode that Dice tracks.

    @xTaverlisk Speaking for myself, I simply enjoy Breakthrough much, much more than Conquest. Redacted Conquest is OK but it just doesn't hit me the same way.

    @after1lfe It might be there at the moment, but I suspect it'll dissappear too before too long.
  • I enjoy Breakthrough more myself, but some maps are terrible for it. Redacted is the worst.

    @xTaverlisk That's fair enough. I've not had too many bad matches on it so that's probably influencing my feelings on it.

    There might be fewer of us than those running Redacted Conquest in absolute terms, but the server(s) would be populated consistently on Redacted Breakthrough when that menu tile was up. I mean, it would not cost them any dev resources (server side - maybe) to bring it back so why not just do that? Right now I have to fish for maps I like and sometimes end up closing the game if the automatic matchmaking doesn't give me what I want having tried it a few times.

    I'm also going to say that none of this would even be asked for if the game had a server browser. But that's a much larger enhancement which we aren't even sure if they have on the roadmap for bf2042.
