For more details into the announcement, you can read the full post here.EA and DICE switched things up with Battlefield 5 and the way they would roll out content for the shooter, choosing to adopt a live service approach by doling out content in bits and pieces over a prolonged period of time. In the end, it dropped the least popular one, which was Duos. According to the announcement, the player-base simply couldn't sustain three different matchmaking queues for Firestorm. Because of the sheer lack of players currently enjoying Duos Mode, DICE made the decision to drop the game mode for now for the benefit of the community. Apparently, while the Duos Mode was hugely successful during the limited-time event - so much so that DICE ended up making it a permanent game mode addition - it seems more and more players have been going back to playing Squad Mode. In an official announcement on the Battlefield V subreddit, DICE informed the community that the Duos Mode for Firestorm will be shelved indefinitely. This led to DICE bringing back the Duos Mode for good. However, when the Duos Mode event ended, players were clamoring to have the Duos Mode become a permanent game mode alongside Solo and Squad. Last month, and for a limited time only, DICE announced Duos Mode, which was supposedly only available on that specific weekend. Squad Mode, on the other hand, is the opposite, and features a more traditional battle royale experience with matchmaking squads of four players. In Solo Mode, players go about the game as a lone wolf matched against other lone wolves, so it's ideal for players who either don't play well with others or just don't enjoy being part of a team, especially a team of randoms.
When Battlefield V's Firestorm game mode released last March, it launched with the option for either Solo Mode or Squad Mode.
In the latest announcement from DICE, the developer behind Battlefield V, the Duos Mode for the Firestorm battle royale has been officially discontinued.
