i gotta play again today and see if it was a fluke. But i forced myself to sit down and play for awhile the other day. Really wasn't digging it at first
but i think i've flip flopped. Portal mode which was the only thing i liked during the beta and 10 hour trial......now sucks. And the main 2042 mode is where i was able to have a good time. It had to be two specific maps tho. I guess the new one. Which design wise im not a fan of, since its very linear and skinny. But for whatever reason it works. And there was one other map that was good. Not sure the name.
like the first hour i wasn't having a good time. But the 2nd hour in i started having fun. Can't really put my finger on why. The only thing i could think is map flow was funneling me into good fights
i still have a lot of issues with the game. Still not thrilled about the vehicle system. Or the specialists/class thing. The skinny map makes flanking annoying. Because the borders are very close to the action. U can't like drive or sneak around far out. But i did have more fun playing 2042 the other nite than i probably ever had playing BF V.
Portal which by all measures should be a game seller has become such a disappointment. At launch there were many fun servers and games to jump into. Now its just trash servers for XP farming, or facing A.I bots. Theres only a handful or semi-normal games to jump into, and they all have rules i didn't like. I found no normal classic servers to play the old games the way they were meant to be played. Well those servers do exist, but they all had ZERO players in them. It seems the only ppl left playing Portal just want to xp farm to unlock stuff.
they need to delete XP progression from Portal to save it i think.
