Season CQ Game Mode and Exodus Conquest should be limited time

Everytime we get a new season, it's always the same two conquest gamemodes for the whole duration of the season. Week 1 Escalation CQ, Week 2 Exodus CQ, Week 3 Escalation CQ and so on. 
And every single time it's the same maps. In the last month the maps I've mostly played through AOW are Spearhead, Manifest, Arica Harbor and Valparaiso. Caspian Border and Noshahr are rare in Exodus, and the 1942 maps are non existent. 

After Season 3's launch, I can't remember ever playing AOW conquest in Kaleidoscope, Orbital, Exposure, Renewal or Stranded.

However, Breakthrough doesn't suffer from this. I've gotten to play those maps in BT, because there's no special game mode after a while. 

We need exactly that for Conquest too. Have the Season game mode for like 2-3 weeks. Then the rest of the season should be a Rework CQ playlist with just the new and reworked maps. That would give us 7 of the 2042 maps to play from, 10 if you include Breakaway, Hourglass and Discarded after their reworks. Maybe you could keep Exodus CQ as a permanent playlist beside the old standard conquest, for those who wanna play the portal maps. 

Now you could say that I can just try matchmaking with the old conquest playlist. But you see, that's exactly the issue. That game mode is dead in my region, thanks to matchmaking. The few players left all flock to the first game mode on their screen, which is Escalation or Exodus CQ. Now this could be solved with something known as a server browser, but who knows if that's ever gonna happen. The least you could do is make the matchmaking better, and add some more map variety.

    Up until recently the Exodus playlist was being rotated every other week.

    It has been available for the last 3 weeks while the Battle of Nordvik event has been on, not sure whether it will become permanent when the event finishes next Tuesday.
