DId you guys see that BF1 is getting a 5v5 competitive mode?? I might actually play the game now.. https://www.polygon.com/2017/8/21/16179924/battlefield-1-incursions-revolution-ea-dice-gamescom-2017
The comp doesnt allow you to setup your class as you want. its specific setups that tend to be more "normal mode" centric than hardcore.
The incursion mode is still in a beta stage, I posted a brief summary of it in last month's update. I'm interested to see how it plays out.
