The only thing people use portal for is to fa bots for XP to increase their level & guns. Yea they pretty much fumbled the ball hard with Portal. It had huge potential to beat other games out with. A sandbox, with battlefield gameplay where you could create your own maps, use guns/vehicles from old titles, & make your own game modes. Looks good in theory but completely crap in reality. From what I’ve seen after 500 hours of playing only like 5% of the player-base actually uses portal mode lobbies. 95% of players just play quick match/traditional public EA servers. Whenever I search in portal mode server browser it’s just hundreds upon hundreds of pages of empty servers that say 1/60 players. 1 person per, just XP farming bots lol. It was basically a bit farm till they removed XP gain after half the playerbase boosted their stats off of it. You join one & it’s just a bunch of bots running around. Like nobody plays portal except for maybe organized clans on special day events they planned. Everyone else just clicks quick match in the main menu. Imagine EA spending hundreds of millions on portal just for nobody to use because the poor design behind their matchmaking system. Sheesh
