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...

Which stunk because I really wanted much more with Portal.
Maybe the next one will retry the portal thing?

Hopefully. Portal is great but could be even better with further development.
The problem with portal is that it is set up to give an inferior experience compared to the matchmaking.
Matchmaking gives you Full progression + PvP A.I to fill for the missing players. Players are 1-2 clicks away from starting a match.
Portal only gives full progression with the A.I disabled so unless you have a community of enough people to start a server, you will not be getting anywhere in portal. Players have to manually find and select your server. Your server is also probably buried under a ton of "1000% damage hArDcOrE L33T" and 4 man kill trading mastery progression servers
Portal could have been great but the progression nerfs kind of killed it.
