Go free to play to boost players if there arent enough to populate duos. ---

Or maybe… just maybe the majority of playerbase doesn’t give s single thing about firestorm meme so it’s already dying and Dice had to do something to keep the remaining population. ---

DICE: _“We’re removing Duos, because our hard data shows that the majority of players prefer to play the Squads mode and in the interests of maintaining a healthy population for the majority it is the right thing to do”_ Crybabies here and on Reddit: _“Why remove Duos MaKEs nO sEnSe!”_ Can’t fix stupid. ---

Which is why every game mode they bring out is 2 weeks and they toss it aside regardless of how popular it is It would make no sense for them to do that. If a mode generates the player count, they would keep it going. ---

You think that players who played duos would switch to solo or squad? Lolno, they would just find another game. Solo Firestorm is pure cancer. For squads you need more people. Also loot balance in squads isn’t good enough IMO. Dice clearly didn’t think this though, as usual. ---

Agree! Duos may not be the most popular mode in fortnite, pubg, etc but it doesn’t exclude its potential player base, so all the potential money it can make on players/ battle coins is now down because of a bad decision to exclude the duos player base ---

That’s exactly what they do. DICE has seen people _switch_ to squad mode in higher numbers. It’s cold hard data they have at the end of the day, they’re not guessing. The idea that people go, “I can’t play duos now so I’m just gonna not play anymore”, is ridiculous. What actually happens in general is they just queue up with their buddy and play in a squad. ---

What actually happens in general is they just queue up with their buddy and play in a squad. Hi, I’m a duos player. Only play with my cousin. I haven’t played Firestorm since they removed duos. I’ve played squad before. It’s not fun with two randoms. No mics, they don’t share loot, they go off and die and reveal my position. If I happen survive my cousin and I get destroyed by a full squad. Real fun, I know. When duos came out, it was a blessing. The idea of me not playing Firestorm now is not ridiculous, its fact. ---

Yeah. If that incompetent manager that just posted about taking Duos out due to the lack of que time for Squads, and if he actually thinks the Duo Firestorm players are going back to that disaster…then this game is in serious trouble. It is pathetic to think Duos we’re doing bad, it was just as fast as Solos and a lot faster than Squads. The dumb matchmaking for Squads do not work if you have 1 friend already in the squad. Wait 5 minutes just to go into a 2v4 game. Well, if they pull Duos, then along with a few friends I play with…it’s hack to PUBG or Apex. Screw these people in charge. First they were blind to being to the player base when people didn’t appreciate the force fed political bull & then the multiple updates that cause more bugs than the patch fixed- this game that has SO much potential…stands no chance with them in charge. ---

No, you don’t have them, all you have is your opinion and whiny posts from the vocal negative playerbase. DICE have the stats to help them make decisions. These modes were removed because of the tides of war gimmick, to add “fresh” content. Nothing to do with stats. Why was rush, a staple in the series for a decade, removed before it had a chance? Yet Domination which has a half full server a day on PC was not removed (it shouldn’t be btw)? ---

Why was rush, a staple in the series for a decade, removed before it had a chance? Yet Domination which has a half full server a day on PC was not removed (it shouldn’t be btw)? I have many BF XBox friends and whenever I am on the three most consistently played modes I see people on is Conquest/TDM/Firestorm. ---

I agree. Even if not many people play with the duo mode, you might think of those who love it. Such a big company should not be a problem to operate this game mode…TAKE IT BACK!!! ---

It’s a part of the Tides of War gimmick to add “fresh” content from time to time. Rush has been a staple of this series for over a decade and yet its gone before it had a chance. There’s maybe one half full domination server on PC, why not remove that gamemode (they shouldn’t)? You already replied this earlier. ---
