I love it as well, allthough i seem to be having massive framdrops in it, and the game lags to hell. Don’t know why though.
Edit: once i get the massive framedrop (since last patch), it doesnt matter if i exit the current match, the FPS stays around 2-3 fps in the menu even.
I think it is possibly the worst mode ever created for BF, right on par with CTF in BF3. I do not know whose idea it was to put 64 people onto two objectives in a game that is already hard on your CPU, on maps, and I could not believe this was possible, that are even more open than anything I’ve seen before. You attack on Arras over a huge field, only to find yourself attacking through an even wider field, which is also then burnt down. This is bringing back memories of BF1 Conquest, which basically played the same.
I do think it is a good idea to make us do other modes through ToW and break up the monotony, but whoever complained about having to play 6 rounds of SQC, should have a huge problem with breakthrough since one round can easily take up 30-45 minutes, and you have to do at least 8 of them. I played three hours so far, being open-minded and hated every minute of it, with passion.
I really only play conquest and breakthrough now. Though i still wish conquest was revamped to offer something new and entertaining. Sometimes the mode just feels stale and uninspired at times.
I also wouldn’t mind the addition of some sort of vehicles only mode (air and ground)
Restricts by making you play a contested objective.
People that don’t like modes like Frontlines and Breakthrough are typically the types that only cap uncontested flags in conquest and then brag about their SPM.
Breakthrough is like Operations but worse: the maps are smaller but the playercount stays the same. Horrible boring meatgrinder where tactics are of no importance since noone can really flank or infiltrate. I’ll skip this tides of war silly headgear, its not worth it playing this awful gamemode.
Breakthrough is great on arras or twisted steel. It’s a fun game mode if you get the right maps.
I find it’s a good place to get weapon assignments completed. Especially ridiculous ones like “kill 20 players while defending/attacking an objective” this would be impossible on something like conquest.
Fun mode on the right map. I’ll insta-quit if I get aerodrome.
Terrible design, if you like to pad your stats and get a lot of kills quickly I suppose you can enjoy it. Provides very little replay value or strategy like proper Conquest does. You can get the same experience except with actual good gameplay on games like Bad Company 2 conquest.
