Why remove Gauntlet? Rotating playlists suck, it was the perfect squad mode.

My guess is that gauntlet will eventually reappear in multiplayer. Many people who enjoyed gauntlet played it for free in Redsec—which is probably why they are so mad, as there are no other options there besides battle royale. I’m sure many of them would gladly buy the main game to continue playing the mode they enjoy. It wouldn’t make sense for EA to give up on so many potential customers.
