They removed RUSH againnnn!
EA are you playing with us?
Rush is the only game mode my friends and I are playing (since bad company 2) and they removed it again.... Why? What's the logic behind that?
Please enlighten me.

It's unfortunate such action had to be taken to keep such a current title playable.
Dice/EA, it will require considerable measures to mitigate damage to the company's image. Rerelease Bad Company 2. While it takes work to port it to newer generation consoles, it's not as much work as making a new game. You already know it will be a huge success without the cost or effort of creating a new game from the ground up, and most importantly: it gives the fans something to enjoy and remember what made Battlefield games great in the first place. You would benefit both from the improved public reception of the franchise and maybe something you can study about why that game is a favorite of your most committed fans. What you learn can then be replicated in future titles to keep this from happening again.

"It'll be back again before too long" Are you kidding, i want it back now, i payed 80euros to play RUSH with my friends as we do since 13 years.
I can compose with the * characters, the lack of maps, the lack of guns, the bugs, the poor optimization, etc... BUT don t take away the only game mode i m playing.
Anyway, EA just lost four more players.
I know it's annoying but it is what it is. Rush hasn't been a core game mode since about mid-way through BFV (that's when the limited-time game modes effectively began). If you're not fussed with ribbons and so on, you may be able to find Rush matches using the browser at least.
- @ElliotLH Not a core mode, maybe for you. Also you can host a rush game in BFV with your own custom settings and with full progression towards tides of war assignments. Once community games for BFV went live.
Completely different to portal rush which still has no progression towards ribbons or assignments. Despite specifically advertising that you would be able to..
Just more examples of dumb DICE. How many times can we keep asking them to stop taking choices away from us and be expected to believe them when they say they are listening.
I mean really, it is just banging you head against a brick wall. - @ShevermiN Like it or not, and I didn't say I agreed with it myself, that's how Dice deemed it when the relegated it to a temporary mode during BFV, due to apparent lack of popularity. You may remember that the same thing happened with Domination.
- @Adamonic I am pretty sure I mentioned this before, that I believe that the increase in number of Portal Featured Modes was unlikely, because it splits the already small community even more. So I think your observation is right, that they don't believe the player pool is big enough to supply 5 featured modes. So they reduced it to 3 and increased the rotation on the mode selection.
The problems began with BFV, i mean it took maybe one year to be enjoyable. And now whith BF 2042 it's a total disaster. I wish i could punch in the face the idiots that took BF in this direction. 80 euros for this.... I should have refund it when i had the chance but i still had hope.
But now that they removed the only thing that was keeping me playing.....
- @ElliotLH The feature modes in Portal are temporary because the playbase is too small to support all legacy modes at the same time.
It was already hard for player to find their favorite mode on a weekly basis, but now this becomes even more reliable.
So is the decision understandable, sure. Will it help in promoting Portal, doubtful.
So DICE did everything to make Portal NOT an viable alternative to All out Warfare, despite the fact this could have been the killer feature in BF2042.
It helped to keep some players to return frequently, but I think this will reduce the interest in Portal even more.
For me personally I was exited to experiment with Portal to make the BF2042 the "better" game we wanted it to be, like most likely all players that hoped for Classic and Hardcore presets. But DICE effectively didn't kept their promise that the progression in Portal will be the same as in All out Warfare by limiting it to only a handful now half a handful of "featured" modes. - @H1N1-DALLAS You have to admit, the improved on how to release an unfinished product, by releasing an even more unfinished product that even sports a lot less features.
@kregoraMakes me wanna cry! We spend so many hours having fun playing Rush since so long and now this....
