Our marketing team has shown all that should be shown. What is more important than the portal model? I'm sure 70% of players want to play it. Hey Dice, what are you waiting for? Players can't wait to see the tornado raging in the battle of the bulge!
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.
I can just imagine the first week on here after release.....
The amount of "I've made the ultimate Battlefirld experience but no one is joing my server" threads will be rediculous!
@ghinavirusWe also see many threads on balance and there is rarely any accord!
Simple fact is, the 'community' is so fractured that a one size fits all, balanced experience is nigh on impossible to create.
We can't agree on TTK.
We can't agree on spotting.
We can't agree on Tonks.
And we will never agree on Air.
We can't even agree on women but that is a whole other debate.
So again, balanced in whose opinion?
The people who enjoy a server will insist it is balanced whilst those that don't, won't. Who is right and who is wrong?
