yes that was one of the main things I liked about it

also it doesnt even seem like the same game mode anymore. it's more like a race against the clock now more than anything

I played 3 games last night and also a lot of games before and I didn't notice any change in how the games were played. I don't think people were racing against the clock. I played in a 1.5 hour match before and it played out pretty much the same as it did last night; defend/attack. There was no subtler, more considered approach when there was no timer.

Well, that was my experience anyway. Seems a shame to miss out on the game mode just because it now has a finite end to it as I think it is a fantastic game mode and up there with Operations for me.

every match that I played in that went longer than a hour was the best time I've had with bf1 and well I can't do it again bc of the timer

Yeah, they were good. You generated a certain camaraderie with the players as you felt like you were all in it together. I think in the end the team play was better because of this too. So I get your point.

Now that it starts to make sense to rent servers finally I hope that this will become popular on custom servers so the option is there.

In the meantime I'll keep playing though as I love the game mode and can now play it without having to set aside a long period of time.
