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...

My main concern is that Portal will be main place where all players be, I'm afraid that at one moment when I want to play BF2042 I won't find games there as everyone will be on Portal and that's actually sad. I really hope that I'm wrong and players will give their time and attention to standard Battlefield 2042 as well as Portal mode.
We finally getting modern combat Battlefield after so many years and honestly I don't want to see BF2042(I mean standard modes, not Portal) dead because everyone plays Portal.
The funny thing here @IIPrest0nII
Is that EVERYTHING in BF2042 could and should be "Portal" !
You can also in the Portal already now here from onset setup all the core BF2042 in the Portal area. We dont need a separate section for this. Matter of fact EA have already stated that they will observe what server designs will be most popular in the Portal area and then actually port them across and set them up as standard servers in the core area. That is how I think we should start to think about the Core area and the Portal area.
They are not against each other. Its not one trying to dominate or exclude the other. On the contrary!
The Portal area gives us now the sandbox and the full toolbox in our hands to experiment with all the game mechanics and parameters. So we will in principle now crowd-source R&D next game developments for EA!
We can in relative short time try out thousands of various options/designs and test it with hundred of thousands of players worldwide. While in old times, we had to wait many many months between each game update and DLC release from EA, who only had a small community to test it on before releasing it to the big market. Now we can test it big-scale from the get go.
That is why the Portal is true genius from the EA game design team!
They give us the tools.
And we do the continuous R&D and testing for them to find the perfect settings! 😀👍
Essentially (and what EA wants) is that "Portal" = "BATTLEFIELD" !
And what we will find in the Core section is the 'all time favorites' for most players globally.
