Battlefield 2042 Delayed - New Release Date (November 19)

@ghinavirusSimilar sentiments about Portal. I have serious doubts about its real capabilities.

Perhaps it will launch at smaller scale / with more constraints on it, but as you said, who knows? Information, of any kind really, would be nice.

@ghinavirus COD will definitely outsell most if not all games (honestly I don't get the appeal but hey, whatever floats your boat), and Halo will probably sell amazingly well too but purchases vs longevity are two completely different things.

I'm intrigued by Portal because it appears to be Community Games/RSP on steroids - This will be amazing for Leagues and community-driven events like Bottletop, FNB, and Silly/Munky Sundays to name a few. Being able to create custom matches with assets from multiple titles should allow for creativity to shine and hopefully bring new and old players back into the fold after seeing stuff on social media.

We got glimpses but you're right, we definitely need some more in-depth showcases how everything works: new control areas in CQ, and Portal Editor + sharing are top priority, personally. Beta should give us all we need to know about Specialists and how the gadgets will function on the fly

I know it will just be the beta but we will be playing BF 2042 sometime near the end of the month I bet.

@TTZ_DipsyWell when 343i added in the loot crates crap and then their worse Halo campaigns it started going downhill for me, I loved Halo all the way through to Reach and then 343i took over, I barely managed to beat the campaign for 4 and then idk if I even got half way through with 5 I just couldn't do it.

COD is COD, nothing really new and the same players will be playing regardless. Impo, the new Halo has been looking ROUGH since it was announced so I'm not at all worried about it being 'competition'.

2042 itself can be whatever but I'm really hoping they knock Portal out of the park

@TTZ_Dipsy I'm a Halo player and while Halo 5 was almost universally reviled (I'm seeing a pattern with games having 5 in the title) the Halo Infinite "Flights" (play tests) have been been well received and the multiplayer is looking solid so I'm still excited for Halo. The devs are also listening to the long time players unlike in Halo 4/5 which is a positive change. I'm not excited for the multiplayer to be F2P in Halo but I'll have to see how aggressive the monetization is as well as the AC impact.  I'm hearing reports from the COD beta that it's really rough and I'm baffled by the no factions thing in a WWII shooter.

I'm super excited for Portal and think it will basically be the main game for many.

@ragnarok013  No sound in the beta and bad visibility like in recent games... They have alot to fix but with no more tests its blind faith on Sledgehammer to fix these... MTX in Halo As far as I know there is a Battlepass but it doesn't expire or have a time limit, can't buy stuff direct(might have changed)

Hehehe insert BF2042 as no factions either lol its away to sell more skins, ATM in Coldwar there are two sides so 50% of the time you don't get the skin you wanted. (in a FPS game mind you)

Portal is what might draw me, if they not just treated like private match's where nothing counts, if that happens I'd say it will die off quickly.

@1Hairy-Gorilla I share your sentiments on both Halo and Battlefield. One thing that I like in Halo's Battlepass system is that they are permanent since the MCC and it's a solid system too. Permanent Battlepasses solve the majority of my woes with that system (but not all) so I hope 2042 has permanent Battlepasses too and not the limited time nonsense like we had in BF5.

Portal will have to allow progression or it's DOA for the same reasons nobody plays unranked servers in previous titles - nobody likes to waste their time when they have to complete a Battlepass.
