@carsono311 well it still got a chance if the pilot is great
PAGE 2 of this discussion and not a single mention of "weapon-balance"....
How do you guys think this will play out?
For me I really dont know what to think of this Portal-stuff. I never really did play on or join any of the custom gameservers back-to basics in BF1 and dont believe I will be enjoying these 1v50 or defib vs knifes-gamemodes. Its to gimmicky for me and I enjoy the core-experience of the "olde" Conquest/Rush-gamemodes.
I dont wanna sound ungrateful. In theory all this sounds really cool and I can not believe how Dice went from totally butchering the custom-servers in BF1 & BFV to giving us access to every single aspect in setting up servers for BF2042.
But I also know this community and in case any of this will be a broken unbalanced mess at launch I know the interesst and hype is flushed down the toilet faster than the longevity of the Firestorm gamemode in V.
- @DeeCay_DK_81 its just like creative mode where you can do what ever you want its the best experience ever to the battlefield world
So don't play portal then. Just stick to the main game if you don't feel like you would enjoy it.
I assume the logic editor would allow a modding community to sort out things like weapon balance and obviously you could just exclude individual weapons for being over/underpowered.
It would be interesting to know if they did a balancing pass specifically as part of the remaster though or if they all keep their original balancing and behaviour.
Separating out the 2042 conquest/breakthrough into it's own mode from server creator probably helps with keeping official EA servers alive for the core experience. At least I hope it does as one of my problems with previous games was trying to find no admin servers with no map packs that you could just join and play without being micromanaged, and it became harder as time went on.

Not trying to find the hair in the soup, but info says the “experience” will stay up as long as there are players online.
Dunno why it’s such an impossibility for them to just let us have our own always-online servers. Maybe it’s a cost issue, who knows.
- @VOLBANKER_PC It's the price to pay for keeping servers FREE! Some of us don't want to have to pay more money every single time we want to create our own Custom Games when we already paid $60-100+ for the game itself !!!
The other reason is if every server was allowed to be permanent it would end up overloading the servers that run this and would otherwise cost them a ton of money in the end to keep the empty servers alive.
So the solution for you is very simple.
Make sure that someone is always in the server to keep it up and running.
Or just recreate it with your saved settings when you get back on yourself.
You and your friends still get your own server just like in Battlefield 3 and 4. The difference is that it's FREE but is removed if no one is in the server at all.
