It's time to show the top priority mode of 2042, portal mode

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!

    @ghinavirus A method along those lines is sensible but what if DICE based BF2042 from a similar method?

    We know that they made all weapons and gadgets all class based of similar data for example so under those circumstances, specialists make perfect sense.
  • @Trokey66 Thats actually an interesting way of looking at this. What if they did? That may be the actual truth about specialist....

    Thinking about your question, there may be a lot of weight behind it. Definitely a twist and something to think about.

    @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.   🙂

    If not, I expect to find a good clan server as in the past. Another problem with PC is officiale server with broken AC. I prefer to play on servers with active admins.
    It could easily be sold as a separate game. I'm not going to play Hazard Zone or with 20+ specialists.

    @SirBobdkI refer you to post #26 on page 3, decent and established platoon servers could, of course, aliviate this but I fear there will be many disappointed that their vision doesn't succeed (not necessarily a bad thing mind).

    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.
