EA EA is showing once again that it wants the community to spend a lot of money in the store... and is removing one game mode after another from the game...
Competent and transparent support looks different.

There might be issues they are trying to fix. They were having some major issues with a mode a few patches ago with a high enough severity to actually pull it from the game. I can't remember which one, but it was a smaller map mode where you had to capture a point and hold it. I think it was Domination, but it might be something else.

You mean Strikepoint.
The problem was it worked perfectly since release- the team who got killed first lost a round (of 11).
But with a patch someone at DICE came up with a genius idea: the team who captured most of the flagpoint won the round.
Means: The team who reached flagpoint first won the first round, even if all got killed. In the following 5 rounds they immediately killed themselves and won the match.
DICE was not able to fix their change and removed the mode completely xD
And yes now they removed about 50% of the paid main game content to push matchmaking queue-times for other gamemodes... also 90% of Rush is gone (only map left is Tsuru Reef, which is nice in Conquest but not very popular for Rush).

It’s not an issue on your side—KOTH, Squad Deathmatch and Escalation disappeared for everyone. Since several modes were removed at the same time and Rush was reduced to one map, this looks more like a playlist decision than a technical fix. I never had trouble finding KOTH matches through Custom Search. Removing it completely was unnecessary—please bring KOTH back.

How they can do this and do not tell a word? We paid for this game, how is legal to remove so much?

That’s the worst part, multiple paid modes disappeared without any clear announcement or explanation. Whether their terms allow it or not, treating paying customers this way is unacceptable.

Thanks. I knew it was another map mode.
But from your details, my original theory doesn't really hold up.
But yeah, DICE is pretty notorious for reintroducing old bugs. It seems that their merging and source control procedures need to be updated.

You tried capping your FPS to a fixed rate? I've made a habit of doing it since BF1 I think.
