@Trokey66This is a great reminder for everyone.
EA DICE would be unwise to make decisions based simply off “feeling” and copying what other games are doing. They have to be supported by data.
Data driven analysis led to them removing the single player campaign and it is likely that it influenced some other decisions as well.
Lastly @zxcwudi666 , to call Portal the “top priority mode” is rather short sighted. I have emphasized from the beginning that Portal certainly had potential, but it is clearly built on the foundation of Battlefield 2042. Further, you cannot play Portal without also purchasing Battlefield 2042. So, the base game really needs to be solid.
The future data may support the notion that Portal is more popular than the base game, but not if the base game scares people away. Everyone here that wants and hopes for Portal, should be hoping that that Battlefield 2042 is just as successful…
Portal actually doesn't interest me that much.
I guess because the beta was fun and new and I'm open to playing Hazard Zone as well. And Portal thus seems like a distraction. IT seems like too much actually.
It feels like EA could have sold Portal separately. It feels like a different game entirely.

Exactly, that's why I'm looking forward to it.
There's a chance to create the battlefield I want to play.
yep that's why I think they could sell it as a different game.
the problem with creating your own battlefield is finding 64-128 others to play it at the same time. 🙂

Agree, We have not seen much about the portal and it could very well happen that we get disappointed. It takes a long time to get a good server up and running, if ever.
