Sounds really good! At the base level it sounds like a Rush mode with varying set of MCOMS ( Or capture points) which carry on to the next map fluidly. Really looking forward to seeing how this one plays out. ---

Sounds like it has lots of potential. Need more details though ---

I will rein supreme on horseback! Me and my trusty steed shall take the capture points and win the game! Can’t wait to be honest. ---

> [@bananahead81](#): > > I will rein supreme on horseback! Me and my trusty steed shall take the capture points and win the game! Can’t wait to be honest. Yea charging out on horseback as an attacker sounds pretty intense. Imagine getting all the way to the coast then proceeding by boat when you switch maps. Has a lot of potential this one. ---

This sounds like a lot of fun. Hopefully it will encompass the “Man I love this on that map, and this on the other map” and you get to experience both. Plus I like this in terms of feeling like a true war with battles that matter in terms of the next fight. ---

Has a lot of potential this one. Yeah super intense!! The changing map thing (if i understand correctly) sounds amazing. Reminds me of tehran highway rush in BF3. You start out in the desert and make your way in to the middle of the city.. The scenery was so diverse it almost felt like a different map at the end, from when you started 🙂 I loved that map for rush. ---

It worked in Red Orchestra 2, should be fun in BF1. ---

Does this mode include 64 player matches? With all vehicles in conquest? If so this is THE ONLY MODE I WILL HAVE TO PLAY ---

I will judge it when I see it. The idea clearly has potential… sounds like a bit more open Rush with potential to push the attackers back at some point. It’s tough to really rate it based on few lines of text though. ---

I wonder how the transition between maps is handled… just a regular loading screen? Anyway a big part of the community seems to like long matches of CQ (myself included), so this mode should really appeal to that crowd. ---

I kinda dont like this. how many people sit through 3-4 hours of gameplay regularly? because those are the only ones that are going to see this through. that’s if they manage to find a game at the starting map. I dunno. ---

If it follows the rush model there will be a ticket limit, so i can’t see it lasting any longer than rush does now. I think this will be basically rush, maybe a tweak here or there but essentially the same. ---

I think this will be basically rush, maybe a tweak here or there but essentially the same. sure, but if it follows through on multiple maps…and given how most servers double the ticket ratio…this could take forever. they already used an hour as the benchmark, so its going to be much longer than an hour in their minds. ---

Well, i am not assuming that there will be more than one base/stage on each map. If there were 3 maps, each with one base then surely it would be equivalent of Rush in BF4 or not too far away? ---

In the description of it they mention it’s a game mode that takes up to an hour to complete. As a max ticket metro wh ore, it sounds really good to me. Regular ticket matches go by entirely too fast in my opinion. You hardly have enough time to counterattack in some instances after flags get taken. Making what basically becomes a best out of three game mode that functions in a linear manner and you can even see the other maps you were just playing on in the background sounds awesome and immersive. Just one more thing I can’t wait to try out in this game. ---

I dont think the average player has time to sit down for a 3 hour binge too often. I dont, personally. I would never play this in that case. If they’re linking 2-3 maps together, this is easily going to be going way over an hour into the 2-3 range. ---

Well maybe the match is too long for you but there may be other people that would enjoy it. I for one would play it. You might not want to play it but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be included. I don’t play obliteration or TDM but i have no issue regarding their inclusion to BF4. ---

Its not that i dont want to play it. I just dont have 3 hours to sit around in one sitting too often, and id wager the majority are like this too. ITs not that i dont want to play it its that I think this prevents many people from ever really getting to experience it.
