Most of the private group i speak too are counting on portal, as the other modes or either yuck to them or meh.But hey, maybe it will be fun. I hope it is as I want to play just one shooter and have a blast with all of you.
- 4 years ago@ghinavirus I think some folks are going to be disappointed at the content of portal when the game launches. It just smells and looks like EA, to tier the content to diffrent "seasons". If that happens and say all you have avalaible for season 1 is bc2 tools or bfv tools ect, it'll put a damper on it a bit. Id also say hazard zone is going to be popular, but with new players coming from games like tarkov instead of the classic bf player.
- 4 years ago@GLOCK_IN_DA_SOCK One of my hobbies is i enjoy looking at data. Any data for anything really. So sometimes I look at likes to dislikes. Let me show you my findings.

BF official youtube channel at the above link. basically a 2 to 1 ratio of likes to dislike. Some would say that is average and I would agree.
But check out IGN and Gamespot. They showcase the same trailer and its negative.

What you think? There is no right or wrong answer.- 4 years ago@ghinavirus I think your putting too much value into a loud minority that knows its historically had a large amount of sway on the game through social media. . Check the player count in December and we can get the real answer though. I'm willing to bet that this game is going to end up being the most popular title in the series.

All content will be available for you to set up and play permanently. There will be additional content added to the Portal tool box in the future.
- AOD_Rancidx4 years agoRising Adventurer@ghinavirus Yup. Assuming Hazard Zone is decent I see myself playing it and Portal, but primarily Portal with traditional classes. I think the Specialist system is going to be a nightmare for balancing in 64 v 64.
- 4 years ago@AOD_Rancidx I would not want to be the one to have to balance this. Battlefield games always seem to take a while to get somewhat balanced and now we add another variable.....OP gadgets

Dice is in a bit of an odd position now though.
Curtail portal and it'll create quite a lot of fuss most likely, but based on this place at least, a not insignificant amount of people who plan on or have purchased the game are now looking at portal as the "real" game.
I'll still give the core game a fair whirl at launch, but like some, I'm also thinking portal (if it is anything near what they've teased) will be where I'll end up spending the majority of my time at this point.
And if after 6-12 months, portal is going strong but core/HZ isn't, then what?
I realize this argument can go both ways, but if core or HZ turns out to be the big winners then it answers itself.
Hopefully the answer will be "let the players pick what they like" rather than try to artificially funnel people towards any game mode.
