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 Halo and Cod are some big titles. I think they both will out sale BF especially in that release window. Not many titles can beat COD year after year.
I am not too excited about Portal to be honest. Looks gimmicky if thats the right word. But I may be wrong, because in truth, None of us know much about BF. I would love to see some gameplay of making something in portal then everyone playing a full game. We have no full conquest gameplay either. And this is why its delayed. They are further behind than willing to admit.
I rather them not crunch and take their time enjoying the process with releases of gameplay to the community. Add in communication and the majority of community will be patient with them.

@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- @TTZ_Dipsy I feel the same about COD. Just doesnt make me excited like it once did.
I truly hope Portal is special for the community. It could put the franchise a notch or 2 up especially in a time where gaming tends to have peaked.
Fingers crossed for all my BF homies where we get a great release and enjoyable experience. I know it will just be the beta but we will be playing BF 2042 sometime near the end of the month I bet.
