Bf portal?? It hasnt really gone anywhere
With the mention of battlefield portal, I'll admit that I got really excited, I felt as though the game was going to have its issues, I had hoped that battlefield portal would have given it some life...

@LIGHthouseguard Portal was supposed to be a 'love letter' to BF fans.
I might have enjoyed BF2042 more if more maps from BC2/BF3/4 were released. I still do not understand why no maps from BF4 were released.
I hope that the next BF takes Portal to the next level, with many more maps, including some of the outstanding maps from BF1/3/4.

@Lancelot_du_Lac I'll just settle for More Maps, in fact, MANY More Maps.
The map count in this game is something any game developer should be thoroughly ashamed of and is one of the largest reasons why this game is just so boring.
I really thought in Portal it was going to cover most of the games. I was excited to think I might be playing on a Titan map and using my old friend the mech walker.
I too was really excited for Portal when first announced. IMO they probably wanted to do more for Portal but when the game tanked they moved teams around and focused more on the main game to improve it. I really wanted them to bring more BF2 maps to Portal and assets.
It's a misconception that they couldn't do more because they had to move teams around to "fix" the game.
2042 was broken at launch, crashing every round, infinite loading screens, 100% CPU usage on black screens (still a problem to this day), total lack of team play mechanics. I could go on listing all the problems I experienced...
The state of the game as it is now however, both in content and quality is how it should have launched. If 2042 launched in this state, it would've been well received even with the atrocious "specialists".
Portal was "abandoned" for the same reason the game launched poorly, negligence and poor live service. It's a wonder that we even ended up getting the transport helicopter into All out warfare, I remember asking for it years ago. The fact that it took that long, tells you that Portal was always an after thought and not a love letter. Another issue with Portal is the ridiculous XP restriction on using AI.
