Portal mode (Weapon EXP)

Hello everyone, 

can anyone tell me when EXP for weapons will be reactivated?

Yes, I read the briefing from yesterday, but they talked about "Custom Portal Experience Porgression". Does this also include unlocking the weapons EXP?

    It seems they turned back on single player weapon XP so I assume it’s ON in Portal as well? Anyone checked?

    Thanks, I just checked in portal TDM, I still had the same amount of kills on my SVK after the game even though I had 12 kills in that TDM game.

    @ DICE/EA. 

    PLEASE CREATE AN OFFICIAL TDM AND CTF MODE IN YOUR GAME. 

    THIS IS BATTLEFIELD! And you don’t have team death match and capture the flag. INSANITY. 

    Who wants to play portal TDM when there is no weapon progress?

    Portal should have it all ON same as Coop/Solo now. Blog post made it very clear. Someone messed up something again.

    Yes seems someone messed up bad.

    DICE/EA - disable BOTS in Portal and problem solved. 
    you keep saying how easy it is for you to remove things from the game while fixing it…

    Portal should provide the same experience as AOW for multiplayer kills, flag captures, and so on.  Likewise those kills should all count for unlocks.

    Don't take bots out of portal.  If the bot is set at beginner, just give 1/3 or 1/4 xp.  Intermediate, give half or 2/3 xp.  Advanced (which I hear are actually a bit difficult), give full or 3/4 xp.  Kills of bots should still count for weapon unlocks same as solo/coop AOW.

    It ain't hard.  Just devalue kills of derpy bots but don't cap xp for any kills of actual multiplayer, or flag caps/other support activities.  I want to play more Portal but I feel like I'm crippling myself in progressing toward new weapons because the xp will be considerably lower than in AOW no matter what I do.

    I was meaning removing the just temporary so we can play team death match and HC against other players. 

    after all, the bot farming is the reason Portal isn’t giving us the full experience. 

    right now Portal is 100% useless. 
    people either play normal AOW, or single player to level weapons making bot farming useless in Portal anyway.

    I dont care if they stop XP from bots in Portal, but everything else should be absolutely unlocked.
