Re: Frontlines and Strike-team are no longer available in portal (22/7/25)

I logged in today to play a bit and found that alot of my game modes were "discontinued" like Frontlines and Killswitch from the portal. I also found that I can't switch sides anymore so if I wanted to do a breakthrough map as a defender I no longer have that option in the portal. What happened??

    Hello!

    You're likely seeing Battlefield 2042's Portal mode limitations. Game modes like Frontlines and Killswitch are often rotated out of official experiences, and the upsers login inability to switch sides (attacker/defender) is a long-standing UI issue with no direct in-game option. This reflects DICE/EA's shifting focus and a general lack of consistent feature support for Portal's curated content and team balancing.

    Thank you very much for the reply I appreciate it. The game modes being rotated out is completely understandable as I've played games like for honor that do that however the inability to switch sides is what's plaguing me right now. Any way to fix it? I can't see the option on the portal anymore it's disappeared.
