Yeah im done, instead of fixing the core issues with the matchmaking they do this instead. Limit people on what game mode and map they cant or can play to force people into the most popular modes and maps. This is absolutely disgusting.

It's not like rush was unpopular, most likely not less than Obliteration. Think those decisions have other reasons. Well at least I can still play Breakthrough on Mirak Valley, also gives good K/D and SPM... let us see when they remove it too.

Well I bought this game because it has or had? rush mode again.
The only rush map left is tsuru reef? the worst rush map I ever played, sector boarders are way to close to objectives = impossible to defend.
Can I get a refund please?

Literally my favorite gamemode from Bad Company 2 days

Dont know why I pre-ordered phantom edition at all, played about 650 hours gauntlet - for free. Now they removed 50% of the paid content that was interesting for me, but shouldn't have bought this game in the first place (after they already resetted my stats in BF3 without reason, restored them some days later but decided to hide my player-profile (except stats) in battlelog xD

been taking a Break from BF since S4

I went ahead and requested a refund. How knows, it would be nice. I played StrikePoint almost exclusively due to the way matchmaking sandbags most of the larger modes. It has been seven weeks since they removed my favorite mode and I don't believe the reason is technical anymore. They have made a choice to take away what I paid for and I want my money back

They'll add it back in to season 5 as a highlight and make it LTM/FOMO

What? They removed rush? It was like better breakthrough, unfortunately I'd need to join and leave 10 games to be an attacker because defending, if you're doing it correctly, is boring as hell.

I still see it on custom search, am I missing something?

for me removed King of the hill escalation and SQ deathmatch basically my most played modes :(

Only map available is Tsuru Reef... no one wants to play that map in rush mode (same layout as Breakthrough, doenst matter if you play it in BT or Rush).

No more rush on cairo for you and me lol, i refuse to play any other game mode.

They've created artificial (and arbitrary) FOMO economy in the desperate hope to entice people.
However, they forgot they've impacted their
current
fanbase.
It's like your fave pizza joint or restaurant trying to entice new customers instead of focusing on what kept you coming back.
There's a reason numerous Devs across the gaming industry are cratering; they are untethered from their fanbase. These are decisions in boardrooms from people who don't play the game.

Well gauntlet matches are heavily EOMM biased, thats why I stopped playing gauntlet at about 650hrs playtime (not just bad spawns and weapon dispersion, but also low ranks still running around after taking 100 armor + 150 body dmg)...
Cairo Rush was nice for K/D push but SPM was always mid-tier (good rounds about 600 SPM, only few top rounds reached slightly above 1000SPM).
Gauntlet was 600 SPM in bad rounds, 800 SPM in good rounds and top rounds easily reached 1200 SPM (and even higher).
Breakthrough is something inbetween, I can maintain a 8.0 K/D at about 750SPM with good rounds also reaching above 1000SPM.
My playtime will definitely suffer, as there is no more option to tank together with my girlfriend like it was possible on Cairo. She may full stop now.

Why did they take away Rush?
