Hoist the flag no longer obtainable?

I did a little testing when the game first came out and it seemed to count caps from Frontlines within Grand Ops but it was so much easier and more convenient to just use the dedicated Frontlines servers.

 

However, for two weeks now they're running special playlists for the new map, Mercury. Last week it was 32v32 modes Conquest and Breakthrough, but this week (starting today) it's 16v16 with Team Deathmatch, Domination and... Frontlines.

 

Definitely worth taking advantage of this if you need the trophy (and want to try the new map without switching to old ones). If you join via advanced search (server browser) you can see which servers are currently on Frontlines - or pick one running Domination which should be followed by Frontlines in the rotation I think.

 

It might resurface similarly with new maps in future or as a temporary "limited time" mode.

So do they switch the modes in Grand Ops per week? I've spent around 4-5 hours today going through games. And all i get are Airborne and Conquest. I can't get Frontlines.

 

It's definitely broken, supposedly obtainable in grand operation but you'd have to stay in the lobby for 20hrs for a chance at a a few frontlines games

It seems like you can only join on Day 1 which is Airborne mode, but if you use advanced search you can at least pick the map.

 

Frontlines features on Day 3 but only in the France and Rotterdam operations so you need to join the Twisted Steel or Rotterdam maps.

(Once the Marita map is added maybe the Greece operation will have it too.)

 

DICE have also confirmed that dedicated Frontlines servers will be available for one week during the current chapter. (date TBA)

That's all great with grand operation on day 3, but the most you get is 2 or 3, and if you switch servers it resets thr progress with the current uodate. I think will be best to wait for this dedicated frontlines playlist.

 

Any idea where or when you see these chapters?

One of the first few panels on the main menu always goes to the challenges for the weekly unlocks. Chapter 4 will run for twelve weeks and we're currently in week 2. New weeks start on Thursdays.

 

You can page forward there to view future weeks but DICE only add a couple at a time. It's very likely that the Frontlines week will include challenges related to that mode. (I see that week 4 is listed now with Rush mode returning for another week.)

 

Otherwise I'd look out for info on the pinned "DICE official" posts on the Battlefield V subreddit or news on the official BF Twitter channel - or just run the multiplayer advanced search with a Frontlines filter every Friday.

 

Hopefully any issues with trophy progress tracking will be resolved soon.

Frontlines mode is now only routinely available within Grand Operations, and only on Day 3 of two operations, and you can only join on Day 1... On top of that, there are reports currently of major problems with trophy progress not being tracked correctly.

 

Dedicated Frontlines servers should be available again for one week only at some point between now and mid-September. Even without the tracking issues, that's a much more convenient option - you'll be able to join directly into Frontlines, play consecutive Frontlines matches and I think there might be more flags per map also.

I just noticed there are some "Close Quarters" servers running Team Deathmatch and Frontlines in the following rotation:

 

TDM on Fjell

Frontlines on Twisted Steel

TDM on Devastation

TDM on Al Sundan

Frontlines on Narvik

TDM on Aerodrome

 

Join on Fjell or Al Sundan to get a full round of Frontlines in the next match.

 

:thumbsup:

 

I can confirm that this works perfectly. I just joined a Close Quarters server and got 3 Frontline-Games in a row. Thank you so much for that great tipp :-)

Good stuff! I see they've changed the rotation to make it better for anyone wanting Frontlines. It's now TDM on four maps followed by Frontlines on three maps (they added Mercury). Join for TDM Aerodrome on a Close Quarters server to get three Frontlines matches next.

 

 

I dunno how long these servers are running - could just be for the current week (Thursday to Wednesday).

There are recent bug reports saying that leaving a server resets the count for several trophies like this one, so you'd want to join on Aerodrome to get the three full matches of Frontlines, then if you haven't got the trophy I guess you'd need to stay on the same server and play through four rounds of deathmatch to get back onto Frontlines again.

 

Also make sure you're inside the capture area when the flag cap is completed (you should get points for Frontlines Capture).

With the return of Rush mode in the new week starting today, the Close Quarters servers featuring Frontlines have been removed. Frontlines is now only available on the Rotterdam and France ops in Grand Operations mode which is not viable for this trophy with the current issues.

 

Frontlines should be playable in private games (custom servers) when that feature is added "after this summer" and I expect it to reappear as a temporary mode again in future.

The new multiplayer map Marita was added today. There are dedicated Marita servers this week running 64-player modes (Conquest and Breakthrough) and the map's also been added to the rotations for Conquest, Breakthrough and TDM servers.

 

Next week (from 8 August) the Marita servers will change to a playlist of 32-player modes (Domination, Frontlines and TDM) so that'll be the next opportunity to play Frontlines mode outside of Grand Ops.
