No extraction mode? no bf:)

You can't improve on perfection. On the other hand, I believe more modes will be coming down the line.

It's rumoured that there will be a free to play Battle Royale mode coming to the game. Probably not at launch, but a bit later.

Those same modes you're referring to have made Battlefield what it is and what it should be. I personally would not mind if there's no extraction mode coming. 

The first Battlefield game to feature a Battle Royale mode was Battlefield V. This game mode is not part of the traditional Battlefield experience, it's a gimmick aimed at attracting newer and younger players.

Personally I hope they will not bring back Battle Royale in any shape or form.

I know, I was there 😉

I played a bit of Firestorm, it was not too bad actually, it just did not get the love and support, and the biggest mistake EA made was to lock it behind a pay wall. But it's not Battlefield
They replicated their mistake with Hazard Zone in Battlefield 2042 which was already dead on arrival.

Now it seems they've learned from their mistake and will offer a F2P BR mode. I understand why they do it, but just like you I can do without it. I'd rather see them spend those resources to develop a BR on the main game instead.

There are plenty of other extraction shooters, you're welcome to play those. Hazard zone was DOA almost immediately after release. 

Battlefield has always been trying to find a way to incorporate something beside the core of what makes Battlefield Battlefield. Starting in BF1 with Incursions, then an actual attempt with Firestorm and again with Hazard Zone. All that effort never really resulted into anything meaningful and worthwhile, while the core game suffered its own identity crisis.

As far as I’m concerned they should focus on the core of the game first, when that’s solid and back on track, they can invest in branching off. And even then it would probably be better if it would be a separate standalone branch of the game.

Hazard zone was doa for most people because it was just too challenging for them.

8 teams by 4 people but only one gets out, too hard if you fail and fail again to get even one extraction against good teams, i understand…

We have seen many good players especially the “Pro” streamers with their pro accessories ( cronus, matrix, dma), trying it and failing again and again until they call this mode a doa.

It is not as fun as a flag capture after been killed for 20-30 times in a row and you keep playing for the flag..

Anyway, extraction modes like hazard were not the game’s identity, but it was a good break out for a tough challenge as the deathmatch mode has its own fun part. You can not call doa the deathmatch mode because it is something that this game needs to be complete or not boring.

You can just make one with portal, like squad deathmatch with no revives etc.
