Portal will kill the other game modes.
The response that Portal is getting, I am pretty sure, this game mode will kill the other two. Unless DICE does something drastic. In a matter of weeks/months, DICE will understand the reasoning b...

@TrasteTh Alright.
I guess we'll find out in the next few weeks.
Whether it's an excuse for veterans or a well thought mode, it's up for debate.
I like what I see in Portal, especially the detailed options.
And as far as I can see, the main game mode is not appealing to anyone other than Apex and Warzone loving peeps.
So let's see.

There is no debate, the sophistication that comes with Portal clearly indicates that this wasn’t a side gig that dice cooked up to shut people up. It is something with much more longevity than we might think.
@CyberDyme mentioned something critical on how EA will benefit from our time in portal. The trial and error in experiences, the rise and fall of servers, and many other things will aid DICE in developing the franchise. They will get to understand market needs and balanced game mechanics on demand. At it’s full potential, it might even lower future development costs.
Portal is DICE/EA’s Trojan horse in the industry that can explode with innovation, battlefield portal spin-offs, and more. In my humble opinion of course.
I'd argue portal is Dice not being completely looney and realizing the specialist concept is a big gamble, and portal is a failsafe and not a "love letter", just someone going "this is a pretty big gamble, and we can offset it".
*If* portal turns out to be more successful, i suspect we'll see an expanded portal mode as the core for the next game and new game types being relegated to second billing rather than how core is marketed for this title.
Either way, we won't know much of anything until the game has launched and we've had a good amount of time to judge core and see what the metrics look like between modes, first few months are going to be a honeymoon period no matter how long-term viable portal or core is.
