Rush returns to Battlefield today in Battlefield 5. The mode, which will only be available for at least two weeks, could eventually come to the game on a more permanent basis. (If fans respond positively to the addition.) Like Squad Conquest, which featured earlier in Lightning Strikes, the Battlefield 5 Rush mode features three new map variants; Devastation, Narvik, and finally Twisted Steel.
The Battlefield 5 Rush Twisted Steel Map Variant
Like its appearance in previous Battlefield titles, the Battlefield 5 Rush mode pits a team of attackers against a team of defenders. The attacking team must plant explosives at two objectives, which is protected by the defenders. With each set of objectives destroyed, the next sector opens up and two more objectives must be destroyed.
“Attackers begin on what is traditionally known as the G Flag on Conquest,” explains DICE; “and will try and overtake the two side-by-side objectives at the roadblock near the steel bridge. Defenders have the high ground and tank husks to help protect a comm station, the A objective. The B objective, an artillery gun, is less obscured. Fortifications keep continuous attackers at bay, but there are wide flanks.”
With the bridge under attacker control, Sector 2 sees the push continue towards a village. After clearing the objectives among the buildings, the attackers will push again into a flooded farm; “They have the benefit of a choke point,” continues DICE; “and a river moat against attackers. The two objectives are again staggered. The A objective is a comm station inside a shed near the house and a small stone bridge. Objective B, artillery, is near two buildings that can be filled with very unhappy soldiers”. Like Narvik, the Twisted Steel map features four sectors, unlike Devastation’s three. The final sector puts a lot of water between the attackers and their goals.
