Why can't players make a BR mode in Portal EA?

Hi @Popa2caps ,

We haven't yet seen the full disclosure of all the game parameters and logic switches at our disposal in Portal Experience Creator, so nobody can yet answer definitely YES or NO to your question there.

I would be happy myself to test it out, as soon as we get access to the full game environment.  We would in principle be able to create a BF BattleRoyal kind of environment if we can control that players can be blocked from respawning after being killed.  Next to this, we will also need the ability to either setup each player in a separate faction, to enable all to be able to kill each other.  This we haven't seen any sign off so far, but could be part of an advanced gamemode (aka like team death match, but then limit each team size to just 1 player).

The specific mechanic to be able to switch a player while in live play has typically not been possible in any prior BF game, so we would need to have the mode enabled for multitude of separate teams of just 1 player in each team.  That appears at present to be only viable way to construct a BR like kind of gameplay in the Portal.

The only alternative would be if we also would have like Gun Master mode available, in which we again would need to have access to tweak certain game parameters for that to give the BR look-alike mode.

Suggest you bring up the subject when the specs for the Portal Experience Creator have been released.
