You’re Taking Away the Only Mode I Actually Enjoy

I’m pissed about this news.

I’ve been playing almost nothing but Gauntlet for months. I only play Conquest when I have to complete the weekly challenges, because honestly, Conquest is painfully boring to me. Battle Royale is just as boring. Playing BR feels like playing Minecraft. I spend half the match running around the map looking for weapons and upgrades instead of actually fighting people.

Whenever the weekly challenges force me into multiplayer modes other than Gauntlet, I end up bored and practically falling asleep.

Rush is another mode I actually enjoy, but even that isn’t consistently available. They rotate it in and out. It was unavailable from Monday until yesterday, when they finally brought it back. So even when I want to play Rush, there are days when I simply can’t.

So what am I supposed to play now if you remove Gauntlet?

I genuinely don’t know. I’ll probably just find another game. I’ve been playing Gauntlet for months because I actually enjoy the gameplay. I’m only 52 wins away from reaching 1,000 wins in Gauntlet, and now you’re removing the one mode I actually enjoy playing.

I bought this game because I wanted to play Battlefield, not spend half my time running across giant maps, getting killed by campers, or playing a Battle Royale scavenger hunt.

If Gauntlet is gone, you’re probably going to lose another long-time player. Maybe one player doesn’t mean much to EA, but when enough players feel the same way, eventually it adds up.

P.S. I had to change the way I expressed myself because apparently I’m not allowed to freely express how frustrated I am. You don’t want players using strong language when you make decisions like this? Then maybe stop making decisions that **bleep** your players off.

    Agreed, it is really annoying when EA decide to remove a game type that you've been playing for months.  I don't know why they do it; they obviously don't give any consideration to people who enjoy that game type.  If you'd be happy to play Rush, have you tried using the Custom Search?  Select Multiplayer - the first box to appear is Custom Search - select your game type - I literally just tried searching for a Rush game after reading your post - select Start. 

    Eight seconds it took to find a server, that filled within about 15 seconds.

    they took away obliteration too which sucks, That mode was very fun, especially outpost ardanis because i could grind vehicles there and not worry about level 1600 sweats stomping the game

  • I knew this was going to happen when the game launched. Gauntlet was fun but having to commit to potentially a long, multi-map series, when the Battle Royale is already taking the majority of the players wasn't going to last. And I liked Gauntlet, but it was hard to get matches and risking getting stuck with bad randoms? I'd rather just play regular Battlefield.

    They should have taken some of the gauntlet modes and introduced them into regular battlefield as part of the small 8 v 8 or 16 v 16 infantry only modes.
