Rush Removal - Possibly Worst BF Decision Ever
I would like to start by saying I have been a die hard Battlefield fan since I first started playing with a bit of Bad Company 2 and then really diving in with Battlefield 3. I have played every game since with Rush being by far my favorite game mode. Conquest was always a close second, but I loved the close quarters objective play rush had to offer.
I will admit that it wasn't perfectly balanced on all the maps in Battlefield 6, but that's part of what makes the game enjoyable. Coming up with new strategies to overcome some of the "unfairness" specifically for attackers on a few maps. It comes down to getting creative enough to overcome the enemy team and finding strategic flanks that will help your team win.
That being said, removing rush from Battlefield 6 after it has been in every game for the past 16 years is going to kill the game. If they are trying to funnel people into breakthrough it just won't work. Breakthrough is essentially an endless meat grinder of who can throw more bodies at the objective with little strategy; a new version of Operation Lockers/Metro back in the day. It's not strategic and it's not what true Battlefield fans want.
I am extremely disappointed in their decision to remove rush, ESPECIALLY with no public reasoning for why they did it and no info on the patch notes. I had to start a chat with EA support to even get a reason why it was removed. I usually played at 7pm CST and I NEVER get bots in my Rush lobby, so a lack of player base is just a flat out lie. If this is a permanent change, I will never touch another Battlefield game in my life.
Before anyone calls me a casual or something dumb: 5.25kd overall (5.7kd in rush), 70% win rate, over 200 hours in rush alone
