The procon servers of last gen titles is never coming back. You have to get over that, never coming back. I know it hurts because they were the good old days.
But the communities out there are going to have to work with portal and prove to the board at EA, not DICE, but the people that dish out the money. That the community will grow if you give them the tools to shape the game and that's what portal is.
And if we fail it will be the end of an era, simple as that it's in our hands. And boycotting, and paying and playing in games that have never offered and never will offer us any level of control only proves there case.
Finally found someone else who also understands and accepts the truth.
Servers you are forced to pay extra for would lead to a ton more people refusing to get the game at all than those who want to pay for private servers.
If they ever made it to where we had to pay extra each time to create our own Portal Server even with the AI Soldiers... I would refund my Ultimate Edition right then and there.
The servers will remain FREE and if anyone here doesn't like that than Too Bad! Feel free to choose to stay with your paid only servers in Battlefield 3 and 4 until they are shut down.
I however will be playing on the FREE Servers I can create in Battlefield 2042 🙂
Are you a Call of Duty player or something? The Portal will not allow a server to run without the host being present, meaning that you will have to be Online 24/7 in that server.
A rented server can be maintained to by others, and clans has been created for that purpose alone, why else is Battlefield 4 still the biggest Battlefield game even at this time for? Because of people being able to rent their own servers!
I rather pay $50 - $100 every month, or more to have options rather than restrictions.
