This mode will save battlefield 2042
lolz, no it won't. I feel many of the OGs will be in this mode, but to be fair those same OGs buy every BF, play many of the old ones on a rotation and those players are not the majority, they are actually a small minority. I know...I'm part of that minoirity of players lol What I can say is that, we don't make up 90% of the people that buy BF, Portal is there for those hardcore.
Funny enough, I only figured out some of those stats from even looking at the older BF games in terms of how many still played them, how many servers up for Hardcore vs normal mode etc. The OGs simply don't make up the majority, shit i wish we did, but I don't see anything that suggest playing older maps will save BF 2042 if it needed saving lol I think it will do just fine and the majority will play those new maps with those operators etc, the vets will help themselves to Portal. All you have to do is look at how many play BFV, BF4 and BF1 right now and you'll see its not the majority of people who bought those games, but the vets that stayed behind to continue the good fight.
I never saw Portal as this thing to get majority sales, I see Portal as a love letter to fans of the series that play that shit religiously who even care about those old maps. I read on some Facebook comment under a BF video where someone was like "we want new maps, not this copy and paste shit" lol That is how some of those players feel, they won't even know the names of those classic maps that we all get hype for let alone recall all the old rules and features, like not being able to go prone on Bad Company series, or being able to destroy the M-Com station with explosives etc
but shit maybe I'm wrong, maybe over time those older maps continuing to be added will get more old fans to jump on and the larger new maps and hazard mode etc will get the new gamers in or something. Either way, its a day 1 for me even if it didn't have the Portal mode as I play all BF titles

I'll likely do something like 20 or so hours on the new maps to get the hang of all the new features, movement etc and then jump on Portal for the feels lol

Agreed, but that is what is so surprising about this crying over specialist. This mode is very rare as I can't even recall 1 MP title that has ever done something weird like this, even I years ago jokingly stated that people triggered over BFV story would have a field day if they one day made a BF where all the maps existed in some alternate universe (although I was saying it like the whole game would be this BF Universe type thing vs just a mode) , as in the story was just about some group of people that made a time machine and all heck broke loose and.....here you go all maps in all wars lol Never did I think that would actually be a thing, even jokingly as it sounds like pure fanfiction.
I've seen more good in BF 2042's features, then bad. The community simply exaggerates too much.

you forgot this /s
If they removed choice like you saw in BF1 and BFV that would have been better? To not have server options and rule options for the community? I feel many would just cry about that and I feel that was a just thing to complain about, but to then cry over that more options of customization are given is a bit silly, as to why I hope you just forgot this /s lol
