Bringing gauntlet to season 5
Gauntlet was one of the few modes that actually felt like Battlefield trying something genuinely different. It combined the large-scale, objective-focused identity of Battlefield with a more concentrated format. To me, it felt like an evolution of Conquest rather than another conventional battle royale.
Battle royale already has an extremely established formula across the industry. Gauntlet gave Battlefield something that felt more distinctive. Removing that mode in favor of emphasizing another BR-style experience feels like moving away from what made Battlefield different in the first place.
I started Season 1 at around 0.7 KD and eventually reached 1.5 KD, 10,000 kills, and 6 million points. Gauntlet was a major part of that progression. If the population isn’t sufficient for a permanent playlist, please consider making it a recurring rotation rather than removing it entirely.
