Launch Update & The Road Ahead Blog Post - Discussion

This their idea of fixing progression in Portal? I've not played it since last week but when I last played it the XP was capped at 6k per round and no kills counted towards unlocks. So can anyone confirm what it's like now? 

Surely if they want to cap the XP then they need to take the global average XP that people earn per match in the core game and then just cap it at that on Portal, that way no matter what game mode you play you will never earn more than the global average XP. Yes it'll probably be easier to reach that XP in Portal if your farming but playing against bots for progression was always going to be easier than PvP so thats just something we and DICE have to accept as that's the model they chose. And kills counting towards unlocks just simply has to come back as it was an advertised feature. 

So can anyone confirm what the progression is like in Portal currently after their 'fix' at the weekend?

Also hoping that manual leaning is included in their 'returning legacy features' list for consideration. A serious sniper likes a good manual lean, as does a seriously tactical CQB player (leaning into doorways to breach rooms), really we also need an improvement to the manual lean we had in BFV, this time round we need to be able to walk while leaning, so breaching rooms and blind corners can be achieved, aka like SQUAD or Insurgency style as that would be great for the tactical hardcore milsim Portal servers that will no doubt start popping up all over the place.

Ok DICE you have my attention and a second chance. Please don't make me regret it!!!

As Garrus says in Mass Effect 2:

"I'm all for second chances. Not so big on third ones though."
