Battlefield™ 2042 Portal

[Hoak]

Anyone that thinks Battlefield Portal™ will redeem this game is sadly mistaken; Battlefield Portal™ is not an MDK or SDK, it's a sandbox. Battlefield Portal™ won't allow anyone to add genre defining Battlefield features that have been left out and and were part of the design canon of the series from get-go, it can't do it...

Of course there are talented Mod Developers (wink wink) that might be able to turn some of this around, but if you don't know by now how adverse EA is to this look no further than all the de-listed Battlefield mods on Mod DB.

This game is a stinker, it's Battlefield in name only and is not Battlefield in terms of core features, game design, or even game play. Go play Battlefield 4 and prior including Battlefield: Bad Company 2 MP for a reminder of just how bad this game is. If it weren't for new render candy, no one would go near this game.

If the content, or feature you miss aren't in the game Battlefield Portal offer anyone the means to put them back in or fix anything. Portal will only let you dink with a few shoot metrics, and timers and how the combat Barbies are dressed, it's a potato sandbox for potato children to play with, not a capable mod tools and source. But it sure is pretty and makes dramatic marketing copy for dummies!

If you're bummed out now, wait till this game is released; the reaction is justifiably going to be worse than what Ghost Recon: Breakpoint saw, as Gamers expect this kind of thing from Ubisoft but for EA to go on this sort of voyage to the bottom of the barrel with their bread winning, halmark IP is beyond stupid. If you own EA stock this would be a very smart time to sell...

If portal will allow us to have the soldier models and the class system from BFBC2/BF3 with 2042 guns and maps, the game will be much better.

I'll see it and decide for myself, thanks!

I agree! but it won't happen, EA is tone deaf to Fan input, but maybe not money deaf... We can hope!

I don't see that anyone in this thread has said, suggested, or implied you should do anything but that...

You are incorrect, we know everything EA has told and shown us, in videos, interviews. It's a skin/model and server script sandbox, that's it...

I agree op it wont fix core design issues because it cannot. But sadly many here wont listen to us.

I can almost guarantee it wont add classes or remove specialists.

Best reply ever.

Since the issues with Bf 2042 stem from gameplay mechanics, Portal mode may well save 2042. If we can disable specialists, use classic classes, disable the weather cataclysm event (though, general weather effects are fine and nice) can set any map rules we want (including hopefully 5 or 6-player squads, squad-leader-only spawning, and limited sprint), then I think 2042 will be great.

I think the boat left without you... Battlefield Fans are lamenting core game features that aren't part of 2042, Portal will not let you put them back in...

Like previous Battlefield games' server admin options, Portal is going to let various mechanics be enabled or disabled - only, they will be more configurable than previous games' server admin options.

They will definitely include some of what I mentioned. Though, which things, and how many of them, we'll see.

If the special leak image that was roaming around is true, I can be certain that what they did with the old generic soldier from pass Battlefield games, is turn them all into Specialist Operators.
This means that the system is here to stay as a core in the whole game and game modes.

But that just a hypothesis.

Your hypothesis is well supported by what the Devs and EA have said, it would be great if Portal was something more resembling an MDK, I'd LOVE to be wrong, but there's absolutely zero evidence that it is anything more than a content sandbox with access to configuring a few server side variables... Nice, but not thrilling...

I don't want specialist soldiers i just want the class system returned to balance the matches again.

Portal will be the best thing to ever happen with Battlefield!!

[Mighty-Seb]

Hope you are right and there is no catch with portal

We'll see how it's implemented.

Honestly if some servers just use it to make vanilla Bad Company 2 and vanilla BF3, that's all I'm gonna be playing
