Battlefield: Hardline will feature seven modes and just nine maps at launch, according to Visceral Games general manager Steve Papoutsis, who confirmed the news in a recent interview with YouTuber JackFrags.
In other Hardline news, the fan-favourite mode Rush will not be in the final game (Papoutsis revealed this particular tidbit on Twitter). The currently confirmed modes include Hotwire, Rescue, Blood Money, Heist, Conquest (Turf Wars), and Team Deathmatch, and one more that has yet to be announced (thanks, Mp1st).
