EA Just Lost a Battlefield Player

I am absolutely livid about the decision to remove Rush from Battlefield 6.

Rush is not some secondary game mode to me. Rush is Battlefield for me. It has been my favorite shooter experience for years, and it is the primary reason I play Battlefield in the first place. I bought Battlefield 6 expecting to play the game I was shown and advertised, including the mode I have spent countless hours enjoying.

Now EA has simply removed Rush from the game without any meaningful warning, while it was still part of the marketing and expectations surrounding Battlefield 6. That is incredibly frustrating. I did not buy this game because I wanted "some version" of Battlefield. I bought it because I wanted Battlefield, and specifically the style of Battlefield that Rush provides.

What makes this even worse is that Xbox players do not have the same refund options that some Steam players have reportedly been able to use. So I am essentially stuck with a game that no longer contains the experience I purchased it expecting to play.

I understand that games evolve. I understand that developers have to make difficult decisions. What I do not understand is removing one of the defining modes of the franchise and expecting longtime players to simply accept it.

This decision has completely killed my interest in Battlefield 6. I will not be playing Battlefield 6 again unless Rush is brought back as a permanent, properly supported game mode.

And I want to be very clear about something: I will not buy another Battlefield game until Rush returns. Not Battlefield 7. Not a new premium edition. Not a preorder. Nothing.

Battlefield has been my favorite shooter franchise of all time. EA had a player who genuinely loved this series and wanted to keep supporting it. Removing Rush has turned that loyalty into distrust.

Please bring Rush back.

  • Same here. They put it back last week, it even had a separate menu to start the matchmaking. I played a few rounds, and notified my friends who already left Battlefield, that rush is back. It was easy to find full servers starting from the beginning without any wait times, and even the players weren't the some ones as in the previous rounds. It looked like a lot of players were playing it.
    Then they removed it again on the weekend, when I planed to play a lot with my friends. Only Wake Island was accessible in Rush and only through custom search. Played some rounds alone, but couldn't play that whole weekend...
    I thought today's update will bring it back, but even Wake Island is gone. Together with Domination, the only one small game modes that I can enjoy sometimes (despite it is not a BF, there are no tanks, ranges, so engis and recons are almost useless there, players skipping instantly, no point of support, no squad spawn just random, most players slide-and-jump whith shotguns all the time, etc).

    I'm so pissed off right now, it is hard to hold back my cursing...

    I don't like Breakthrough that much, but some of my friends like it, so I'm trying to get out the last Hz-s from my CPU and GPU to be able to play a few rounds with them, until my brain melts down from the 30-40 fps I get when fighting on the frontline...

    Rush was the only game mode I could play and I enjoyed it all the time. It is a core BF mode. It has tanks, ranges for snipers, needs team play, strategy and tactics too. Tactical Obliteration could be the only alternative, but I never saw it again after they removed it. Only the big Obliteration exists, which is a ppt slideshow for me...

    I'm tired of waiting for Rush to return only for few days. Please, make a statement, that you won't bring it permanently, and I delete this game permanently, and join my friends who weren't that patient like me...

    Oh, and I'm almost sure I won't buy another BF again. You did the same with 2042, but I left that garbage long before that. I don't know why does it worth to you to make the matchmaking few seconds shorter on big game modes and lose a lot of your veteran playerbase...

    Dude, it will be back in 2 weeks. Go play something else until then or do you have to play Battlefield every day? 

    You need to understand Rush hasn't been popular since BF3 and you're fortunate they brought it back in BF6 where once again it's not popular.

    The playerbase has moved on.
