Uh, come again?
[Update: In a strange turn of events, DICE isnow sayingGrand Operationswillbe in at launch.]
Conquest may be a mainstay inBattlefield, but I was really looking forward to Grand Operations, the new-for-Battlefield Vmode that spans multiple objectives across multiple in-game days. It was the highlight of theclosed alpha, and it’s disappointing to hear that it won’t make it in time for launch.
In a blog post, DICE confirmed that Grand Operations,Battlefield V‘s “ultimate multiplayer experience,” will be out “shortly after launch.” It’s odd that such a prominent part of the game’s promotion won’t be playable on day one, but if it makes for a smoother launch experience, I understand the reasoning.
At release,BFVwill have Conquest, Breakthrough, Frontlines, Domination, and Team Deathmatch.
I’m more than likely going to be there at launch, but if it weren’t my job to cover video games, I’d definitely wait to see howBattlefield Vholds up after a few weeks. With the wayStar Wars Battlefront IIwent down, I don’t fault anyone who’s feeling cautious about EA-published multiplayer shooters.
Here’s hoping that Grand Operations does in fact arrive “shortlyafter launch.”
