Operation Metro-Portal Addition.

Its absolutely getting destroyed by critics.

I personally played one round and it was heartbreakingly bad. 

I feel for the dude that took the time to create such a beloved map but now Metro is effectively dead in BF6.

  • I feel bad for the creator. He obviously put a ton of effort into it. But the lighting is scuffed and it just looks terrible. And not having working elevators is kind of a sad compromise. I think it does best at highlighting shortcomings, and it's sad that they chose to feature something so scuffed instead of like that operations game someone made, or the dam rush level, or something.

    But it is really nice to see them finally highlight something that isn't a little mini game that is boring after half an hour or something battlefieldofficial made. It is finally something made by someone else that is an actual game that is part of this game's core gameplay.

  • Could be wrong, but I think people would have cared less about how it looks and given it a chance if it was full XP. The people in the threads I was reading on Reddit seemed to care more about that than how the map looks anyway.

    Edit: It looks like Dice have now made it full XP:

    It'll be interesting to see if this does affect people's opinions about it.

    Wow! EA finally woke up? Now they just need to give full XP to every other portal custom map that should have full XP for the same reason. You know, so that the thing that everyone made isn't a waste of everyone besides PvE players' time.

    Funny how they post on X, but have no presence here.

    Edit: Nah. It says it is full progression, but not in practice. It looks like they turned on the thing but forgot to turn on the thing.  Only weapon progression, it seems. No stats or challenges.

    Hat's off to the guy for trying to shame DICE into doing the real map.

  • I played a few rounds, the games were full no bots, it was actually quite fun.

    I wouldn't say getting destroyed by critics, ive seen a few YT saying they had fun.

    He took the time to make it with what he had available to him so full respect, NOW if more people played it dice may actually remaster it and put it in BF6.

  • It's so broken.

    The objectives are still broken. You can't cap them when it says you are capping them. You go to a different level or area, and now it starts capping them.  And the objective UI is messed up and doesn't show what is going on.

    The deploy screen is broken. You click an objective, and the deploy screen jumps and makes you click something else.  You finally get the objective you wanted selected, and then it says deployment not available, for whatever reason.

    When you do deploy, you all spawn in the same area, so when you get backed up as a team against a corner, that's the end of it. No getting out. No alternate spawn to defend against the spawn killers. Just the end of the round.

    People are flanking around through the walls.  They pop out behind you and shoot you in the back.

    Still no full xp.

     

    For me, it's terminal.

    Your my favorite creator right now!

    ZQ28U!

    You collaborated and made what I saw in the BR Map come true!

    Idk what the point of putting unpolished Metro on the first page in the game menu. Just remake one Metro themed in New York. 🙄

    As I am sure you have seen, there has now been a hotwire mod highlighted, and same crap with modified XP. They didn't even try to pretend giving full XP.  Why is it such a constant slog? Can't EA get a message that sticks?

    Yes, I noticed that too when I played a round of it the ther day. The only reason I can come up with is that it has to be changed manually, so they're gauging the popularity first. Whatever the reason, though, I think it'd be better and more people would play these experiences if they did have full XP.
