Why Doesn't EA/DICE See The Potential of Portal?

 

I purchased Battlefield 2042 mainly for the Portal option; the main game is a little too 'cartoony' for me with the operators. But like all of you, I'm very frustrated with EA/DICE complete lack of updates for Portal. Portal could easily be the future of Battlefield; the ability to play all versions of Battlefield with custom settings in one browser, is HUGELY powerful. If EA/DICE could stop chasing trends, they could make Portal epic. 1) Hire a large number of developers who do nothing but port over the old classic BF1, BF3, BF4, BF5 and Bad Company maps and weapons to the new 2042 engine. 2) Ask the large Battlefield community to be beta testers, 3) Start offering rent-a-server again, which could bring in a lot of additional revenue and 4) Spin off Portal as its own game as Battlefield Classic. This strategy would not only excite the Battlefield community, but it would bring in new fans by introducing them to the franchise by playing all the previous games in one app. I just don't understand why EA/DICE have not only given up on Portal, but can't see the enormous potential.

  • @JimiVanHalen5150 everything ok, till rent a server, that will kill portal since now we can host everything in portal for free, soo no, also comunity doesnt want to pay, since they dont fix XP issues and restrictions in portal

    Yeah. Remove the XP restriction for ai filled games with changed settings.

    Why does the AI give all XP (mastery, full xp, weekly and ribbons) in official game, but not in Portal.

    So many players bought Battlefield 2042 only because of Portal. And now, we cant play it, if we want progress. So many players are scamed.

    Battlefield 2042 could be sooo good.

    As long as the restriction exist, i will never buy in the ingame store or an other game of EA/DICE.

    @ScamSimulator because they're afraid hat people would abuse it again to do whatever. 

    But hey... who cares what players would do, as long as they have fun and keep playing the game. 

    DICE doing it wrong that way, and this for a long time already.

  • @JimiVanHalen5150 I don't understand either. It has such a big potential but it just got left on the sideline. No new portal maps since launch, maps missing from certain game modes...

    Maps even missing for the main BF2042 game modes, not only portal.

    @Its_Travis_199 yeah I miss reclaimed 128 player version, another thing I feel like was just scrapped away sadly... the map is nice for 64 but a 128 player version would have been also awesome and it feels really like 128 is also beeing shuffled onto "keep-it-alive" mode...

    @direct3r should have just left the 128 servers and add the 64 ones to it, and not replace one with the other. 

    So players could choose which ones they prefer.
