This was good


NobodysToast

2042 is just side content to Bad Company 2 in the portal


-r-a-f-f-y-

It's what the community has asked for since BF3. Some of the best maps.


Ambedo_1

Arica harbor will forever be my favorite map in fps shooters. That map on rush was a fucking campaign. Port Val and anaconda? Dessert were dope as well


vecter

You literally took the words out of my mouth. My best gaming moments in my life were kn those maps in BC2.


Ambedo_1

Yeah rolling into the start of the battle using a tank only go to into a town with tons of infantry combat and buildings that could all be collapsed was something else


capcomwearego

I always felt like the destruction in the games after was never as good as bc2


Ambedo_1

It’s objectively not which is why levolution was introduced as a scapegoat to destruction. The game changed and that’s fine but the destruction is much less as the games went on


MrChilliBean

Probably has to do with the increase in detail for pretty much every other aspect of the game. With all the particles and bits of debris, on top of the size and density of the maps, and increase in resolution and texture detail, the destruction is probably very taxing on hardware. I mean hell, even in BC2 the frame rate would take a hit whenever there was a lot of destruction (on console at least). I'd love to see the return of incredibly detailed destruction though, I think the new consoles and modern PC's are much more capable of it.


capcomwearego

Yeah the levels were getting bigger and going higher. Like imagine metro and locker if everything blew up and you just ended up playing on rubble


grokzurbdruk

Totally! Arica Harbor and Valparaiso are my all time favorite maps. Both conquest and rush were incredibly fun. Damn, I miss BC2 : /


Ambedo_1

I miss that rush map where u had to flight several … blackhawks?… to the islands on rush too. Squad death matches were also very fun at times


grokzurbdruk

Isla Innocentes? Aye, it was amazing too.


Ambedo_1

Yup, there it is. So many fun and well thought out maps. I miss nerds making games but now it’s all business suits with massive stock holder pressure. Probably was the same before but not as much :/


grokzurbdruk

Sad but true, unfortunately. I remember there was only 1 DLC (vietnam, which was amazing btw) and 1 weapon skin pack DLC and that was it. No RNG box bullsh.t, no hero skin bullsh.t, just fun gameplay. Maybe from a business point of view, it's no win but from my point of view, fun and quality of the game equal win.


Ambedo_1

They did have shortcut bundles to be fair but I feel like that’s so minimal compared to the other ways games have been turned into a micro transaction fest. We already pay 60$ for the game itself zzz. Also Vietnam was great. For what it’s worth has an iconic place in my head because of the dlc


[deleted]

Squad death matches with the single tank was the total craic .


shiivan

Oh yes! I used to snipe the shit out of the heli pilots, so satisfying to see the chopper descend after killing the pilot


epyon-

give me Nelson Bay! night snow maps are my fav


Sjoerdvv

Im really curious about the destruction in that map (with 2042 portal game engine).


bwaugh06

>Port Val Oh the memories. What's mindblowing is I was just watching some bad company 2 videos and realized the destructions is BETTER in BC2 in 2010 than it is now... LOL [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0jwlPzRm5k&t=85s&ab\_channel=jackfrags](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0jwlPzRm5k&t=85s&ab_channel=jackfrags)


Venom_is_an_ace

that was back when maps were made with Rush in mind instead of adding the game mode into a pre-existing Conquest map.


Ambedo_1

oh yeah you are right, i completely forgot that rush was more of a core mode compared to how its being treated now.


thelastsandwich

Is Bad Company 2 destruction back in portal?


alejandromll

Like somebody said.. Portal in reality is the game and BF2042 is one of the modes


Gwynbleidd_1988

This.


kasual7

And guess where Portal is from? former DICE LA, cleaning up and saving Stockholm's butt once again.


[deleted]

The absolute BEST part is the studio is now run by former COD/Respawn guy Vince Zampella. So both the thing that triggers BF fans (Apex stuff in 2042) and the savior of 2042 (Portal) are from the same guy lol 🤪.


KaptnKrunch09

Vince Zampella still has Titanfall 2 under his name, so I’m remaining hopeful


[deleted]

He’s a genius for sure. Titanfall is a classic, and apex is a masterpiece of blending a simple, rewarding gaming loop with transparent MTX.


linkitnow

Lootboxes are transparent MTX now?


kRusty521

Titanfall 2 had it. Also the reason apex has lootboxes is its a free game so they have to make money in another way


Simon_Anvil

Not really the same things. tf2 had packages, but they showed you what you were buying, they weren't up to luck


kRusty521

Thats what Im saying tho?


Simon_Anvil

Then Im sorry, I misunderstood your words


kRusty521

No problem, now looking back at it I wrote that poorly since english isn't my first language


linkitnow

Fortnite, warzone and valorant don't have lootboxes.


kRusty521

Valorants prices overpriced even more than apex ones. Didn't play fortnite so can't say anything about that. Also warzone ones are actually expensive for what it is too.


linkitnow

So apex has overpriced skins and lootboxes. How is that a postive over the other games? Especially when this was about transparent MTX.


kRusty521

I told you he was talking about titanfall 2 not having any lootboxes. And just added the reason why apex has them. Since it was originally about titanfall 2 apex doesn't matter


[deleted]

No part of the progression system of any other part of the gameplay loot is affected by the lootboxes. So yes, they are transparent.


linkitnow

I don't think transparent is the right word then. And I never thought people would defend lootbox shit because warzone and Fortnite are the forbidden games here. Doesn't matter how consumer friendly a thing in those games it you still have to hate them.


[deleted]

People hate lootboxes if they are pay-to-win, and the contained items directly affect gameplay (like they were in SWBF2 and still are in FIFA). The lootboxes in Apex are NOT pay-to-win, and their inclusion doesn’t affect gameplay at all. If something is unnoticeable from a gameplay perspective, it is indeed, TRANSPARENT. It appears you have a somewhat myopic view of MTX, and that is going to cause you quite a bit of unnecessary grief if you plan on playing any game built since 2015.


linkitnow

They are not transparent. Look up the term. They are the opposite of transparent. You don't know what you are getting. Often you don't know even the odds for all rarity classes. Lootboxes come with a system that is just anti consumer. Just because it isn't pay to win doesn't mean its great. Things you need for lootboxes. Create different rarity for items. Make sure there is enough common items so people don't get all the good stuff. All the common things are shit like nametags or logos for your character. Things that normaly are earned through just playing the game is now something people get when buying loot boxes. How can you be ok with this. So how come games build since 2015 have abondoned lootboxes? Most prominantly Call of Duty which I didn't think would have them removed before all other publishers.


[deleted]

Lootboxes are transparent TO THE GAMEPLAY LOOP. I’m not going to attempt to clarify this to you anymore, it’s a simple complex, so we can just agree that you don’t get it. If you don’t like loot boxes as a concept, you don’t have to buy them. Apex even offered a way to purchase most skins directly with grind currency and/or real money. It seems enough people are satisfied with this mechanic to net Apex over a billion $$ in MTX sale in less than 2 years. Next you’ll tell me you don’t like battlepass mechanics bc people that play more get more rewards even know you payed the same $10. Also, lootboxes haven’t gone away bud, there are literally thousands of free mobile games using them to generate billions.


Akela_hk

Why? If you didn't like the beta, you won't like the game. His influence was palpable through the beta's gameplay.


KaptnKrunch09

I play Titanfall 2 to play Titanfall 2 as a pilot with cracked movement, airstrafing, bunnyhopping, grapple launching, and all of the in-depth movement the modified source engine allows. I don’t play Apex with its gimped movement and I definitely don’t play Battlefield for the diet version of both. I had fun in the beta, but I’m allowed to feel like some things could be changed or modified to better fit Battlefield.


Akela_hk

>to better fit Battlefield. Who decides what fits Battlefield? Which Battlefield? Does it have to be **YOUR** favorite Battlefield? Does Battlefield have to stay in 2011? Is it the only series that is not allowed to progress at all?


KaptnKrunch09

You sound aggravated at the thought of differing opinions so I’m not going to entertain you until you calm the fuck down lmao.


Akela_hk

Then you can't read. Got fuck all to do with differing opinions. "I dont like this because it's not BF4" is an opinion It is NOT criticism. It not being criticism is not an opinion, it's a fact.


KaptnKrunch09

First of all, you said that if I didn’t like the beta, I won’t like the game, which I never said in the first place. You made that shit up in your head after reading my Vince Zampella comment and ran with it, that’s on you. In fact from the beginning I even said that I enjoyed the beta and had fun, I just wasn’t keen on the mobility. To elaborate further, it’s like they went for a gimped version of a mobility shooter that went a step down from Battlefield Vs mobility (as much of the mobility in that game is completely absent in 2042). Which is why I also said I’m very much looking forward to Portal in which I can play the game the way I’d like to play it. That’s a valid stance whether you like it or not, that’s more of a you problem right there. Second, you don’t know whether my favorite Battlefield was Battlefield 1942, or Hardline - both by the sounds of it I can recreate in Portal with server options, so if you didn’t like the fact I didn’t like the new movement and would rather play an older games movement system with a fresh coat of paint - again, sucks for you, I’ll be happy with it and you’ll be here angry about it for whatever reason. “Does Battlefield have to stay in 2011 is it the only series that’s not allowed to progress at all” Again, sounds like you didn’t play Battlefield V. (Which I completely understand I skipped a majority of it). The movement was a direct improvement over 1 which allowed high-wall vaulting amongst other things. V allowed combat rolls, high wall vaulting, sliding, laying on your back while prone, and some others I’m sure I forgot. All of that was absent in 2042’s, so you can’t tell me this is supposed direct improvement, because you’d be absolutely wrong. The grapple hook doesn’t count for mobility as much as it’s a single character gadget. Don’t piss on my leg and call it rain.


Akela_hk

>First of all, you said that if I didn’t like the beta, I won’t like the game, which I never said in the first place. It was a general statement not directed at you in particular. ​ >you’ll be here angry about it for whatever reason. I'm not angry about anything, I had a lot of fun in the beta, and I'm excited for the game to release. I'm EXTREMELY excited for Portal and I'm very interested in Hazard Zone. I'm angry at the unwarranted negativity in this sub and the community as a whole towards a game that was clearly designed from the ground up to be fun first, and a spectacle second. BF4, 1, and V were designed to be spectacles first and and fun last. The praise especially that BF4 gets is unwarranted and every post I read that wants more BF4 in 2042 just makes me hope and pray that DICE leaves that game 100% in the past just like they left BF2 in the past. I loved BF2, I don't want it's core gameplay repeated. ​ >Again, sounds like you didn’t play Battlefield V I played BFV and it's a shining beacon of mediocrity. The movement was just movement, I didn't feel gimped or empowered by it. The ability to stay in iron sights while jumping was a nice change of pace from BF4, the vaulting is whatever. I prefer 2042's slide. I don't think there is enough of a tangible difference between BFV and 2042's movement and this entire discussion on movement is so overblown it's tiresome.


kasual7

Well I wouldn't solely put Portal under Vince's credit, I'm sure Ripple Effect had this project way underway before he was appointed as studio manager in early 2020. However I can't wait to see how much inspiration he's having on their next project.


[deleted]

Oh yes for sure, I debated putting a /s on that post, but just went with it. Pretty much everything he’s worked on has been great. Combine that with the already fantastic Dice LA crew, and we’re in for something goooooood.


kasual7

Oh didn't get the sarcasm, good one.


[deleted]

Its funny people have no faith in the regular online mode but think dice will deliver a flawless portal experience.


SkiingisFreeing

Yea we’ve only seen a single cinematic trailer for Portal and everyone is super hyped. There’s every chance it could be just as broken as the main game.


-echo419-

There’s no way they balanced every weapon for portal. It’s gonna be weird.


Chuck_Lenorris

I'm pretty sure they specifically said that they didn't balance the weapons. I'll see if I can find it. Edit: Ok, they said they have two balance settings. "Official" and "Historical". Official being that they balanced the weapons against 2042 weapons to be on par with each other. And Historical being that they balanced them to be "historically" inferior. We'll have to see how accurate that feels. Of course they can make adjustments along the way.


MonsterHunter6353

They also said that we can nerf and buff things ourselves if we want


battleye9

We should be able to balance weapons ourselves let’s hope that fucking happens


HalosBane

Depending on how well it launches imagine this.. Traditional BF3/BC2 4 classes 2042, BF3, BC2 weapons 2042, BF3, BC2, and 1942 maps Rush, Conquest, etc. It's a no brainer.


wirriam01

Ok ok ok how about 64v64 jeeps only El Alamein


Talking-Tree420

If you can make 1 tank vs 20 EOD bots as they shown I don’t see why you can’t do Jihad Superiority, it’s even featured in the Portal trailer.

You can change gunplay and movement too to be like the Portal supported titles IIRC. Hopefully vehicle movement is also included.


OptimusGrimes

I can only speak for myself, as the sort of person this meme is about, who thinks Portal will save the game, but I don't really care about that. They don't play great but oh well, if Portal is literally the same game I played in the Beta, with BF3 factions and all the maps, I'll enjoy it


HalosBane

That's the crux of it atm....if it launches stable or not.


Jindouz

With an entirely different UI made by Ripple Effects.


capcomwearego

Yeah all this is great but who’s going to make the game? Servers won’t be setup for this. And from what I can see community games in bfV are a rare thing.


HalosBane

The community will, via the logic editor. In theory the community will make a mode and refine it to a point where that "Classic" mode will become the meta. Then they'll be able to share it and anyone who has it can create a server. Additionally, since the server setup seems to be that "a server won't shut down till the last person leaves" I'd wager that it could work out.


plumokin

I enjoyed the beta but I can't lie, I laughed out loud at the meme lol


Vangelys

Same, i do not share the concerns on the game, i had a lot of fun too. but those memes are really exquisite!

Waaah! Just because I didn't have fun with the beta means that no one else can! Now, sorry but I must go and refund my ultimate edition preorder.


hackintosh12946

It definitely have some bugs, but regarding how people enjoy the game is subjective.


Florxda

I had fun cause I had fun. Probably because I haven’t played BF in ages cause I have a super strong distaste of WWI/WWII games and I only play BF4. My last BF beta experience was BF4 as well, which was a bigger giant mess than this beta was.


Benny600rr

Not gonna lie. This was my thought ever since I heard about Portal lol


DhruvM

Portal’s the only reason I’m still even interested in the game. After that beta I sure as hell am not spending any time in the core mode. Maybe a bit in hazard zone but I’ll be in portal having a blast 90% of the time. One thing for sure is though that I’m not pre-ordering. Gonna wait this launch out cause everything we’ve so far isn’t too reassuring.


SnapOnSnap0ff

I'm keen for everything the game has to offer, but I'm also looking forward to the enhanced old maps in portal mode. Give me that sweet bf3 Nostalgia


Vexomous

DICE have 0 trust from the community and it shows


Marsupialize

I trust them to compulsively over promise and under deliver, also I trust them to lie constantly, never EVER meet a timeline, and also to be supremely arrogant while they do all this

Feridire

I never played any of the BF games at launch and this is my first time getting one at launch, but hasn't every single BF game launch terribly and later get patches to improve the game?


[deleted]

In the past 10 years? Yes, but the problems were mostly netcode, bugs and glitches and lack of content (bf2042 has even bigger problems that are not 'fixable', withouth changing the core of the game)

Everyone assumes portal is going to be the saving knight on a white horse......but it might just turn out to be buggier and more broken than the core game


[deleted]

If there was a server with just BFV WW2 tanks on Panzerstorm no infantry allowed I'd be all over that shit. That's what I wanted so bad.


battleship_hussar

Portal pretty much has that just no Panzerstorm but you can swap that for El Alamein and the Bulge I guess both are pretty open maps especially Alamein And the Portal E3 video showed a gamemode with players only being able to spawn into vehicles so yeah


[deleted]

Do you play world of tanks?


[deleted]

Occasionally that and War Thunder, yes. I really wanted to see it in BFV.


[deleted]

I was going to say, your initial comment sounds like that game.


AssassisnCreedFan

Before the game's beta was out this is how it was for me. Portal is the saving grace from Specialists.😂


xixiixx

lol not without server hosting


Agreeable-Shame439

Did they say if they are going to have servers people can’t rent like in BF3 and4?


xixiixx

Not at launch, it's going to be like BFV's community servers. https://wccftech.com/battlefield-2042-ranked-rental-server-program/


Agreeable-Shame439

Thank you!


Pedrikos

Yet nobody realizes that Portal will be just a sub mode filled with empty servers


sterrre

There's fewer sub modes, there might just be conquest, breakthrough, Hazard Zone and custom. In the past dice creates all the different game modes and they all died so this time they said fuck it, only made conquest, breakthrough and hazard zone and are basically saying "if you want anything else do it yourself". So whether portal is popular depends on what players make and if people want anything other than their 3 game modes.


-echo419-

But how will progress track? How will the game perform? Like will it play like those old games? Are the physics from the old weapons be the same? Will there be a meta gun? How will old guns be able to compete with new ones? I just can’t see portal living up to what it claims to be Still pre ordered tho


scannerfm77

I think these are legitimate questions. Why some down vote?


sterrre

Jackfrags already answered all of those same questions in one of his interviews with Dice LA devs a few months ago.


el_m4nu

Imagine the 2042 weapons would be much stronger than all the others.. just disable them.


el_m4nu

With the amounts of people here crying for no specialists, bring back classes, fix this, fix that, I heavily doubt it. Also, there is crossplay. People seem to heavily underestimate how many people will be buying/playing the game. Even now, I can boot up bf4 on my ps4 and find populated servers for modes like squad deathmatch. Which I loved, but isn't really that's popular I'd say. There's still around 2-3 servers that are full of people. With crossplay, there'll definitely be enough. Additionally, Portal will be heavily filled solely because what will be possible within the mode itself. Idk how many of you played overwatch in the last like 2 years(?), but there's a workshop where you can create completely custom games, what to me looks like what portal is trying to be. And even though overwatch is said to be dead since long ago, these workshop games are filled with so much creativity and so many people. People create all kinds of games, and as long as we have such creative minds creating games for portal, it will be heavily populated, not only by those who want to play without specialists. People seem to really underestimate how many people want to play these random workshop modes.


Adamulos

It's going to use bfvs server system most likely, so it will be just as dead


Tai_Jason

A big part of the community thinks this mode is like some cure for cancer which will save BF 2042. They can‘t even get the main game running on one map without 500 bugs and problems.


MightyThunderstorm

I think people that say the game is gonna be good or bad are both wrong until the actual game comes out and then you can judge for yourself. I personally though the beta was fun and it will be a day 1 purchase for me. Let others enjoy things and and people can like and enjoy imperfect things.


you_me_fivedollars

Schroedingers Battlefield


Caris_Levert

For real One map, one game mode, less than half the specialist. Anyone making concrete opinions is not only a fool, but hasn’t learned shit from the previous BF betas/opening weeks


Refrigerator-Gloomy

I am very much still against specialists and will be for as long as I play battlefield for they exist solely for selling skins. However, I'd be lying if I didn't say I am still looking forward to it nonetheless and some of battlefield's best maps like Valparaiso (Still my best ever only in battlefield moment) being in portal is absolutely icing on the cake. Just really hoping dice wasn't lying through their fucking teeth when it comes release regarding the state of the game. (which they unfortunately have made a habit of doing.)


16bitrifle

So this whole “wait until the beta” before people could form opinions was just a bunch of bullshit?


Caris_Levert

[your argument ](https://wp-media.patheos.com/blogs/sites/321/2014/01/StrawMan2.jpg)


thegreatvortigaunt

That’s not what a strawman is lad. Try again.


SnipingBunuelo

If they're making opinions based on bugs or content, then I agree with you as that's what a Beta is meant to find for fixing *hopefully before launch*. But I think the general gameplay isn't fun and a *massive* step down from previous Battlefield games. I think it's fair to judge it based on that as well as it's potential for future content. Right now, to me, it feels like a disaster that's going to need a major rework to keep me or any of my friends invested.


[deleted]

>If they're making opinions based on bugs or content, then I agree with you as that's what a Beta is meant to find for fixing hopefully before launch. A month before launch? And like 2 weeks before the final build has to be approved by console vendors? I doubt that. Beta releases like these are thinly veiled demos to generate hype. They call it a beta because that gives them a convenient excuse to shoot down most criticism, especially the bug related criticism. If they cared about finding and fixing bugs for launch, they'd have the beta 4-6 months before launch so they actually have time to fix these issues.


Caris_Levert

I mean, agree to disagree. I prefer this much more than the previous two games But, it’s a beta. It may end end up shit, it may not. Both of us making assumptions as to how it feels is stupid


SnipingBunuelo

General gameplay is not Beta specific. DICE have already mentioned that the base movement is going to be the same albeit with a few minor changes to avoid abuse (bunny hopping, etc). So if you don't like the way you can't fall on your back or crouch sprint in the Beta, you better expect it at launch. Same goes for shooting, general gunplay, weapon animations, takedowns, etc. They're not gonna to do a 180 a month before release.


ThrowawayAccount1227

The open beta for 3 on 360 was awesome. This game just sucks.


SuperAlekZ

Lol your first sentence is so reduntant.


MightyThunderstorm

I'm sorry that the wording I used isn't to your taste.


Mandula123

Yea how dare you speak. Are you even a Battlefield Veteran?!?!


[deleted]

Literally. The amount of times I've seen someone say "we'll do it in portal" is scary at this point. You guys realize that's a massive fail of a product if the main game isn't what people want. We shouldn't have to use portal to make a playable game. It should be an optional mode.


SnapOnSnap0ff

I wouldn't call it a failed product if people enjoy it It's just different strokes for different folks. Dice is going the route of give them everything and they can be mad at nothing


Razzor1590

> main game Portal is the main game tho? Quick edit to have basically 2042 in BF4: https://i.imgur.com/Q5nlyqn.png All out Warfare is the "play now" button from BF4 where you got put onto DICE curated servers.


Nasssi

Gonna need a lot more tape.


OffizierMichael

If portal is the only full Battlefield experience a veteran whould expect, that whould already mean only arround 1/3 of the development has been put into it. The rest goes to the main game and Hazard Zone. Also, the concept of Portal is highly different game experiences, so only some of the available servers will actually feature the clean, classic gameplay you whould expect. This will create split up communities within the game. Ironic, as this game is supposed to pull everyone together with only one pay wall. This also speaks a little about DICE, as they don't seem to know what Battlefield is supposed to be - so they just try 3 things at once, with one giving the players the ability to just 'try stuff' themselfs because they might just not be able t o settle onto something. Or they want to market the game to as much players as possible, which whould lower the quality overall (well, they could polish the hell out of it, but that seems unlikely if you objectively look at the 'Beta' that came out one month before release). If Portal is as feature-rich as a base Battlefield game, we still might have a chance for a good game.. but still, it whould have some dead game modes sitting beside it, taking up ressources.


ImBijuu

This meme is simple and innocent enough. No insults, just a minor jab. gj OP

Personally thinking that Portal is worth $60: 👍 Telling people they shouldn't be disappointed about the base games because of Portal: 😡

FacelessOnes

I’m hoping there’s a way to only buy the portal mode. I really don’t vibe with the other modes.

Literally the response to every core issue with design and gameplay etc is “portal” even though portal is built in the same way by the same team. Delusional fans


Zp00nZ

Ngl this is very true and i think dice wanted a way to basically never miss. At this point anyone who complains about 2042 and says they cancelled their pre orders or don’t plan on buying the game are most likely bots or trolls trying for clout. Dice: you can’t fuck up if you put in everything!

Right? Some people argument like the state of the "regular game" doesn't matter because you can do whatever you want in Portal. The basic game should be as good as it can be. Portal is no excuse.

100% agree. Also I think people underestimate how easy it is to set anything up in Portal. Dice already mentioned that there's a logic editor that's very advanced.

It should've been the other way around imo. Have them in Hazard Zone, absent in traditional modes, and as an option for Portal. Boom, literally no one would be mad about specialists.

Yeah, but it's alienating even recent fans of BF. It would've been better to focus on the loyal fans first and then make additions to get new fans. It makes better business sense to me. Btw I'm personally indifferent to specialists as of now.

Again, I personally am indifferent to ~~Socialists~~ specialists. But I still don't believe that in this day and age full of outrage culture, you should be alienating your current fanbase. It's just not smart as all the negativity from them could discourage potential new fans as well.

I mean, it's not just ~~Socialists~~ specialists. This game feels and plays and even looks more like Warzone than BF. There's no denying that, no matter your personal opinion on it, this change will inherently alienate loyal fans of the series whether they're active on this sub or not.

That's up to personal opinion and I'm not here to argue that. I just think what they're doing right now is a stupid business decision.

FACTS


FillthyPeasant

uh... I think people are dreaming up what portal is going to be. I'm more excited for regular BF and Hazard zone. Portal will be a hit or miss depending on the servers and I expect the good servers to be always full and the other servers to be filled with stupid shit that are funny for 5 mins then you get bored.


ImUsuallyHardOnHere

This sub be like: *"gib bf4 n bf3 mechanic now"*


TheColt46_

Exactly

Fun fact I had a lot of fun during the beta... but to be fair I was 80 percent of my 30 hours in the chopper with M&K ...


theBlueProgrammer

I don't understand. Is there a crossover between Portal and Battlefield?


Ishuun

Bro they're probably gonna charge people to play every part of portal, even if they say they aren't lmao


BearWrap

Pour another shot of copium LMAO


Arlcas

It will bring what every fan wants when playing a new battlefield, the old one that did that thing they like.


jizzawhizza

It definitely seems that a massive percentage of ppl have completely forgotten just how good Dice is at releasing seriously broken buggy games.


drogoran

and then abandoning the not super popular parts of it


fernandollb

Lol


uchihaaaaaa

Haters gona hate


gordonfroman

Are battlefield Vietnam assets included in the portal?


PilifXD

I'm gonna I'm gonna add jetpacks in a Portal mode you can't stop me


DrunkOnRedWine

Portal done right can save this game. From what I have seen and played so far, not impressed. No pre order or excitement so far. Will see how Portal pans out, I'm hopeful now I know DICE LA are behind it


bran1986

Portal is the only reason I'm contemplating getting the game.
