I dont get it the game mode works fine and is probably the most tactical skill oriented mode currently. a bit slow would be better with 12 v 12 that's my only critique.
Takes alot more personal skill and teamwork.
Tanks in this game mode are cool because they are a tool for your team rather than someone soloing the outskirts. I make short work of the ones on their own.
If you comment please list the game mode or modes you play most.

I think other titles do the arena thing better tho; cod, overwatch, destiny (maybe not). I have a feeling squad conquest is going to have alot of similarities to the BR when it releases. "Firestorm" i think it's called. I've heard it will be 16 squads with capture points and vehicles.
I always liked Supply Drop from BF1, with teams that small I think it would work with people fighting over 1 area rather than trying to cover two flags with fewer players than your opponents.
I play all the game modes pretty equally, I like them all but my favourite before BFV was Rush.
Tiny maps with 8v8 feels like a CoD match to me. And if I want to play CoD, I'll go play CoD. *shrug*
Is it nappy bo bappy time? Someone hurt your little feelings?
My biggest thing is that they basically make you play it to progress in the ToW, and that isn't cool. I will play it until I no longer need to and then never again.
I find it mind boggling that in a project like BFV a game mode's player count was mistakenly changed and nobody noticed. I'm trying to stay positive so i'm just going to laugh. Makes me wonder if squad conquest was actually meant to be 8 v 8.
No I'm calling the cry babies cry babies because instead of giving constructive critacism they call the game mode trash in the forums after being out for only one day.
I'm just not a fan of such small game modes in BF, its not why i buy BF games. I can see the attraction for organised squads wanting to destroy randos over n over, but I'm a solo player that just wants to muck around and not get too sweaty while i relax.
In the 3 games i tried, we absolutely destroyed the other team in a few minutes by controlling all points. In the last game, the other team had someone running an ESP who was pre-firing our whole team. Even then we only just lost.
All in all, not fun at all.
I play all the game modes but mostly domination so I havent had any problems all my games have been good lone wolfing.
What's interesting is someone brought up firestorm. Mark my words everyone if you dont like this game mode you probably wont like firestorm. In many battle royals the fights are squad based or small scale not that a bigger fight cant occur.
Alot of people on battlefield are just so used to playing CQ that they immediately hate on a new game mode because it's small scale.
They are a choice like every other game mode.
8 vs 8.... it was like squad rush... Just a lame version of the bigger mode.
A bit like Domination but with less action. With such puny numbers of fighters the map should be smaller. Games I played, was mainly running around in laps to grab which objective you lost. A couple of times a game I’d decide to stay and defend an objective.... thinking maybe I’d get some action... yawn fest. 16 a side would be better.
Will only play to complete the tasks. Then I’ll go back to the fun modes.
Definitely is slow should have been 12 v12
It really is a lot of "ring-around-the-rosey" (running in circles, recapturing the same points over and over)
We get it, you like to lone-wolf it instead of cooperating, passing out ammo, bandages, reviving, etc.. the things you call "casual mode".
You mentioned you like domination.. this is almost exactly like domination (except maybe dom didn't have vehicles, but it was still 3 flags and running in circles being a one-man-army)
I can't begin to tell you how wrong these statements are.

1. You all assume that players don't like it because they're not good enough or they're just bad/not used to it. It's almost as if people can have a bad impression of a new thing, even if they're good at that new thing. They can also have a good impression of that new thing, even if they're bad at that new thing. Opinions do not align with skills. For instance, I am pretty good at strategy games, but I don't enjoy playing them. I'm also pretty bad at competitive shooters and I don't really like them. I'm also pretty bad at COD Zombies, but I enjoy playing it.
2. It's crazy to me how @buster518 is saying the community is "toxic" just for saying they don't like it. It's almost as if everyone's entitled to an opinion on something, especially if they don't like it.
3. It's weird that you say it's because they aren't used to it then make the assumption that all these players are coming from conquest. No. Some of us came from Frontlines. Others from Domination, Breakthrough, everything. Conquest is the closest we have to Squad... CONQUEST. It plays out the exact same way, just on a 16v16 scale instead of 64v64 (difference in scale of 4x)
4. What I find the worst about this entire thread is you sit there wanting actual constructive criticism while calling those that *you* don't believe gave constructive criticism "crybabies" and "toxic". When in reality the only toxic thing here is you acting like it's an attack.

We are literally just saying we don't like/don't prefer the game mode. We don't have to justify that. Sure, it would help if we did, but we don't have to. In fact, nobody has to. But when it comes down to it, criticism doesn't help something that's fundamentally broken. At this point, most players are complaining about a few things; lack of players, the fact you have to play with friends in order to be successful (many players play solo and get matched with randoms), and the mode feels like Domination with vehicles. So what else are they supposed to do? "Constructively critique?" I don't think it's possible for something to change when it's core idea is what people don't like.
