@ElliotLH Yea, i've already said so a few times but i do feel a little odd about BF5 as it's literally the first time in the whole franchise where i've just gone "Nope, i'm done" and as such missed a few of the QoL updates that came later.
That said, after battlefront/1/5 i haven't gone back to 5 to give it a try either (probably my mistake based on what you said) even after the 2042 reveals and same with those i usually play with, but we've fired up 4 a few times recently (like a lot of others based on server crowding).
I still think 3s "here, have a sandbox DLC for every playstyle you prefer, cqb DLC not good enough, well have gunmaster!" was their best attempt at making a game catering a little to everyone, but we'll see if portal can re-capture some of that magic.
I still have very fond memories of two of the cqb maps from the close quarters DLC, i really hope they make it back at some point because those were a blast when you just wanted some infantry fighting. (ziba and scrapyard)
Not going to jinx a certain 2142 mode by mentioning that again for obvious portal inclusion.
