As recently announced on Twitter by Lars Gustavsson, Battlefield 1 will not have the Conquest small map layout: [What will Conquest be like in Battlefield 1?](https://twitter.com/Battlefield/status/765942805835513856/video/1) Many people are quite shocked and concerned as their beloved mode won’t make it into the game. But yet after getting some Information’s on the matter DICE could (and would) include the Conquest small format when enough people gather and state that they would like to see this mode in Battlefield 1. Conquest Small is a very popular mode throughout all Battlefield games and especially in the competitive community a much loved mode to play competitive matches including vehicles in the format range of 8v8 - 16v16. This is one of the core modes of Battlefield allowing people to play the all-out war in a competitive environment. Conquest Small as a long history in Battlefield and especially in BF2, BF3 and BF4 it was a very popular mode playing competitive matches in leagues all over the world such as ESL, BCL, DGL, CG, JCG, ESB, G4G and many more in 8v8, 10v10 or even 16v16. So do you want also that DICE includes the Conquest small format in Battlefield 1? Then please state your opinion and let them know that you want this mode. Take your chance here and show that this community want those scaled down maps we know as Conquest small. Below you will find some matches played in 8v8 BF4 so you can take a glimpse how much fun it is to play this mode in an competitive environment.

It has been stated by by DICE itself that Conquest mode is the ‘bread and butter’ of the Battlefield franchise. But for many of us, there is fun playing the game, not only in public level, but also competitive. Unfortunately, without Conquest small maps in Battlefield 1, playing competitive Conquest is impossible. So we ask: “Please give us the chance to continue competing and make conquest small map layout available for Battlefield 1”. On behalf of my team [HEAT Clan](https://www.heat-clan.gr). ---

This gets my full personal support as a BCL Admin, but also from my team PC 8vs8 team Velocity. CQ Small has been a long time favourite in the Battlefield series, and it will be a real shame if we’re unable to get it in BF1, as I firmly believe it could be absolutely **perfect** for CQS. To add to Pyo’s collection of videos, dozens of matches from previous BCL 8vs8 seasons & cups can be seen here: [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr27gGTjNitbSqXwXzQRddg/playlists?shelf\_id=2&sort=dd&view=50](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCr27gGTjNitbSqXwXzQRddg/playlists?shelf_id=2&sort=dd&view=50). Whilst of course we cannot suddenly expect a massive u-turn and get a fully competitively focused game, I think it is crucial to have an element of competitive gaming in Battlefield 1. Without Conquest Small, this could be a difficult task to achieve. ---

CQ Small was the main competitive mode on Console especially PS4, without CQ small the competitive scene on console will die out or move back to BF4. ---

I’m the founder and owner of the multi-gaming organization **[HeXagon e-Sports](http://hex-esports.net)** doing both **competitive** and casual gaming. **Battlefield** has always been in the center of our hearts and specially the format **Conquest Small** 8vs8. It’s really sad to see that **EA/DICE** remove the support for **Conquest Small** in **Battlefield 1**. Without support for this game mode I think the 8vs8/10vs10/12vs12 leagues like BCL and ESL will have a hard time hosting leagues/cups. . We are based in **Sweden** and are playing on **PC** and have **been true to Battlefield since 2005**. We also host yearly **Battlefield LAN** and Battlefield Cups (HeXaLAN and Swedish Community Cup) . Why have you made such a decisions to make it hard for our community? I thought this year was the year when EA/DICE supported esports in Battlefield but it seems this is not the case. . **Please rethink you strategy.** . Your sincerely, .

Hello, i’m a french BF Player. I compete in BCL 8v8 for “La Huitième Compagnie” (@ my own level). CQ small is the unique and only way to have competitive BF1 in 8v8 to 16v16. I’m very surprised about this decision. We were so happy to see BCL summer Cup finals on Battlefield officiel Twich Channel. This meant, for me, a certain willingness from EA to provide real support for competitive modes on Battlefield. Please, consider your decision, and bring CQ small back. Thx ---

Dice pls… “We want do a more BF like Campaign” But not a more BF like Comp-Mode? and don’t say Domination 5v5 is a BF mode, pls. You are so proud of your vehicles in interviews if u get ask what the different is between CS:GO COD and other stuff, so create a new eSport mode don’t Copy/Paste the 5v5 mode because all other FPS Games have this to. again Dice pls..

I’d like to see what other new modes Battlefield 1 has to offer first, but if there’s nothing fitting for the competitive scene, with vehicles, then I’m definitely on board with the push for having Conquest Small back (or at least having a way to configure flags and assets through RCON). I’m saying this as a co-founder of Auzom Entertainment, the organization behind Battlefield Conquest League, and as a gamer with over 2 years experience in 8v8, having led AllianceX, having been a member of several other teams, and having co-formed a community around Conquest Small, playing mixed matches several times a week. ---

While its great that you can now make larger maps due to not being held back by last generation restrictions, it is not a good idea to remove a much loved game mode because one size fits all will do. BF1 maps seem like they are going to be larger and this isnt good when it is the only option for any player size, not just for competition but even for general public play. 64 Player servers are not the only ones that run you have 24-40 player servers to look out for. CQ Small has a smaller player count with generally a smaller map and gives players another option when it comes to how they want to play the game as well as allowing the competition community to freely advertise your game to another player base. ---

CQ small (16v16) has always been our gamemode when organizing scrims against other platoons… I cant even imagine what we would do without that gamemode! We are a purely casual platoon and the friendly scrims against other Clans has given us soo many hours of pure fun and #battlefieldmoments SOV vs CSR: [![Video: SoV vs CSR](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/f/c/fc88001c703c4796e176863066db8e2c869f35e0.jpeg "SoV vs CSR") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eaynj3t_y_w) Best regards •SOV - Sons Of Valhalla - PS4 - Denmark ---

Me and my team RaVen eSports, which has played 8v8 in BF4 (ESL & BCL) for the past 2 years, give our full support towards bringing back Conquest Small as its THE competitive 8v8 game mode and it has proven to be extremely popular across multiple battlefield titles in a competitive Conquest format. It’d be a shame if the entire competitive conquest scene would have to find a new game mode that would offer the same what Conquest small has provided for so long. ---

Im shocked that such a staple part of Battlefield would be gone like that, it really is the only mode i play and would beg them to put it back in as taking it out would be a huuuuuuuuge mistake.

Battlefield needs smaller game modes to remain competitve. You could not organize a 32v32, as an occassional community event sure, but as a main-stay competitve mode it is far too chaotic. Conquest small provides the unique battlefield experience in the context of a more manageable mode that gives more importance to each individual player’s role. 8v8s, 12v12s are well-suited to providing a more competitve environment. Dice should bring back CQ small. [Next page](https://battlefieldforum.co/t/bring-back-conquest-small-for-battlefield-1/102427.md?page=2)
