Always found conquest too long but this modes balance is perfect love how it goes from loads of captures to just a few in the last round.

Absolutely addicted just got the game two days ago and the performance on the ps5 on balanced feels very solid.

Also do carbines out gun assault at mid range ? Going try the kord next for my assault rifle but found carbines quite fun.

Its definitely the best game mode imo slow start then absolute action end. I just wish the matches were longer

Escalation is so good. I think it’s strictly more fun than Conquest on just about every map, with perhaps Contaminated being the sole exception (purely due to some flag layout issues)

I thought Escalation was more interesting than Conquest when I first started playing a few months ago. Now, I have a really hard time playing Conquest. I always feel like I have a good idea of what to do in Escalation, while in Conquest I never know what direction to go, where the enemy is at, what my team is doing lol. Feels too chaotic, while Escalation just makes sense. Also love the map shrinking mechanic.

Has anyone had any issues when the next map is the Pacific islands maps? It just never gets past like 8 people

Genuinely it is fantastic on Sobek. I'm not happy they are making it bigger, they just need to stop snipers on rooftops

I don't mind escalation but I much prefer breakthrough, glad you're enjoying the game, too many people gripe about nonsense I've had it since launch and still fine it a tonne of fun.

Carbines are typically between assault rifles and SMGs in terms of range.

Also remember you get a small bonus for using a class's weapon type. E.g. Assault rifles for assault, LMGs for Support, etc.

Glad you're enjoying it!

First round: lots of breathing room

Last round: constant action

Escalation makes gameplay dynamic. Conquest feels too static in comparison

Best mode in years. Hope it sticks around, I’ve been playing it a lot more than conquest.

I use a custom rotation so I can skip that one.

The only problem is basically the need to be engineer. If you aren’t, you’re putting your team at a disadvantage. Just look at the score board—90% engineers.

I hope that they figure out this problem. Could just be closed weapons/classes.

Yes all the time. Pretty annoying. Havent been able to play much of the new maps. I play a lot in the morning EST on ps5

Try Obliteration as well, also a fun mode with lots of chaos.

El problema es que son demasiado cortas.
