PORTAL to save BF - Hardcore community project

Hi folks.

Welcome to the BF2042 Hardcore Community project launch ! 

If you clicked on this topic i guess it's because you think BF2042 have huge room for improvement. Luckily, we the community can do it on our own ! Thanks to the PORTAL.

I hope you will enjoy the project ! We hope to create a wonderful community of passionate people. And make sure you will always find great populated servers online waiting for you.

The discord : https://discord.gg/kePjFkSY

What is the Hardcore Community project ? 

Our goal is to propose well established PORTAL hardcore servers on Battlefield 2042 that replicate the hardcore mode from previous opus, but also new milsim experiences inspired by games such as Squad, ARMA & Escape from Tarkov. We are also looking at improving some aspects of the gameplay such as the balance between infantry and vehicles, the maps and mode proposed, the class ... etc. To discover everything about our servers and how to find them, check out our discord or the next post.

A real community project !

The goal is to create the best BF2042 hardcore experience, this is why players opinion will matter. We are launching a DISCORD for the community to gather, and where feedback and suggestions about the servers gameplay will be more than welcome. With specific channels dedicated to this.

Find a squad

Hardcore mode promote even more teamplay, as you have no regen, no map etc ... counting on each other is more rewarding. The discord also propose a channel to find players when you are about to join a game, as well as voice channels for your squad to communicate. Hopefully discord will be soon fully available on console. 

Note that this is not mandatory, we are just happy to allow people to do it if they wish so. 

We need you !

A little explanation on how Portal Servers works. Once the host will launch a server, it will stay online as long as there is at least one PVP player inside. It can be either the host himself, or any player. At the moment we don't have the resources to run a server h24, but as a community we can make it happen. If we can grow a stable enough audience in the servers, they will keep running even when the host left. So if you like this project and our gameplay, make sure to share this discord and our servers ! 

Until we can reach this point, a specific channel in the discord is dedicated to request a server launch, if the one you wish to join is offline at the moment !

  • Idea for conquest is to make it spawn on squad leaders only.  Like BF 2 was.

  • @VRACinque 

    Not sure how it's going to work with FF on and no markers (I suspect a lot of TK'ing going on) but I love the fact that you're trying to create a hardcore Experience.  

    I hope the additions they revealed today that will be coming to Portal will include more HUD options and ways to implement things like FF but with ways to help mitigate excessive TK'ing and so on.  

  • @VRACinque There could be a thriving community in battlefield but they literally screw the hardcore player base every chance they get. I hope it goes well.

    @CantGetRight  thx we'll try this on our first test for the CONQUEST server ! 

    @Kean_1111 enemy don't have tag neither spotting above them but friendly do on the HARDCORE servers, like the previous opus. To avoid a blood bath ^^. However on the milsim server where there is no HUD, here FF is off. We'll announce everytime the servers are running test feel free to join

    @Grandnightchamp Thx ! That's exactly why we launched this. 

  • The [2042] HARDCORE - RUSH is online to test some new changes !

    Same name in the server browser
