Portal is complete garbage, full of tons and tons of xp farms, you have literally hundreds (maybe even thousands) of hosted servers with 1 or 2 people in it causing a "global limit reached" error.

Allowing every player to have one dedicated server each probably sounded great at first but didn't you even think about how that would effect server player counts.

It will cause less time searching for a game, games will run smoother and the game will be more fun Create a REAL training ground like Battlefield 4 had so players can practice with vehicles and weapons, this will cause LESS "training servers" in Portal, it will also cause less new players constantly crashing helicopters and jets in real games which ruins the game for the entire team because the players that know how to use them can not get into them meaning the entire team has no air support (just air support that crashes when trying to take off). Create an OFFLINE option where players can play 1 v bots on the same maps without having to be online as this will save even more space in portal/servers. (cm edited title for vis)

Portal is complete garbage, full of tons and tons of xp farms, you have literally hundreds (maybe even thousands) of hosted servers with 1 or 2 people in it causing a "global limit reached" error.

BF4 and even 2042 had it right and we could find dedicated servers that were popular and actually fun like Bf4 "smokey" "Sloth alliance server" and etc. Not every server needs to have an experience code so others can open their own.

Make the official games (conquest, breakthrough and etc) into dedicated servers, we DONT NEED MATCH MAKING AFTER EVERY SINGLE MATCH when we already have 2 full teams!
give us a "favorites" and "recently played servers" option

Played Battle royale, for a couple hours at a time it's great, then go back to regular multi-player.
I cant help notice that the battle royale map is great and people get it for FREE. But those who paid for the full game we only got the "decent" maps, with limited play. We got a new map already, oil fields and its decent for a bit but nothing really special about it.
I saw on Portal that some people made a conquest game out of part of the Battle royale map, cant we PLEASE get what we paid for? Have parts of the big map as part of the multi-player line up so we have some variety under the official servers? The map is already created and I dont see how it could be very difficult to give us. This first season is just "meh" cause we got one basic map, then one (hopefully) good one this month and then a 3rd temporary map that is only a re skin of a map that many already dislike. We need a big improvement in maps cause at this rate 1 out of 3 which makes players not very excited to wait for the next season.
I understand that remaking old maps to bring them to the new game is hard and a lot of work but I really hope we dont have to wait for more seasons to get them and they're just added in.
FAVORITE SERVERS
Under Portal there is no way to FAVORITE a server, meaning we have to search for it every time.
we come on. I loved on BF4 that we had options (recently played, favorites) and had them ready to click and play. Not having that option makes it hard to have server's that are popular and always full of players (example Smokey, Sloth alliance server's in BF4)
With the limited number of maps big enough for vehicles it makes it hard to stay on and play many rounds cause you go from Vally to Peaks maps and repeat, and even those get boring after a few rounds. I really don't know if the current line up is enough to keep people logging on and continue playing till some new large maps show up. I was way excited for Operation Firestorm but even that got boring already. Switching to breakthrough just to change it up doesn't help much due to terrible objective positioning especially for the attacker side.

I know tons will disagree with this but, yep 🤷‍♂️
