It's ridiculous how much better Battlefield Portal is compared to 2042. Like I get the feeling that this was a far different game when it was pitched.


Like maybe the original pitch is "How about we make a game called "Battlefield:Portal", and all it is is we start with two games. Battlefield 1942 and something new to drum up sales. 1942 will be entirely remastered, shouldn't be too difficult since we can basically steal BFV's art assets and just remake the maps from 42 and pretty them up. We also make a pared down new Battlefield experience, we'll add some future gadgets and maybe make it like that apex or that tarkov game everyone loves. Then every four to five months we release booster packs remastering previous games just in a pared back manner for a cool 10 to 15$. Of course we'd have Bad Company and BF3, but we could also do more obscure titles like Codename Eagle Legends or Battlefield Heroes for the nerds."


The pitch man then weeps as all the heads of EA/DICE start chattering about APEX and TARKOV.

Apparently ripple effect made portal in a little over a year. At this point just close Dice and give everything to them.

So I downloaded the trial and decided to buy the standard edition but it won’t let me play, it says the trial ended. I got the pre-order bonuses so I know the game knows I bought it. I tried reinstalling but only the trial version is listed in my xbox owned games library. Do I have to wait until launch? It’s absolutely loving asinine if they gave me a trial to get me to buy the game then make me wait a week when I do. Anyone know?

Only the gold and ultimate edition allow early, non-trial access

Someone else mentioned it but I wouldn’t be surprised if we get a decent patch on actual launch day to fix some stuff, been noticing a lot of audio issues like tanks like 2 feet from you being silent and footsteps a hundred yards away being deafening.

There will undoubtedly be a patch like a day or 2 before the 19th

Hot take alert: BF1 is the best BF game ever, hands down.

I am right there with you wanting BF1 maps in Portal.

This isn't a hot take at all - BF1 is the best game by far. I want all the BF maps, just literally include everything.

I think I might have fun with this game but I might not. I was hoping this would blow COD out of the water because I'm so sick of COD but right now they both have separate but equal problems. I guess I'll never be able to find a fun online FPS. I have this set to be preordered and I'm super on the fence about cancelling it or seeing it through.

isnt this still just a rumor

I am posting it into existence

I think just general video game fatigue exists. Covid kinda feels like an easy excuse, since dice usually fucks up their games but I have to imagine having all these other devs and locations has to gently caress up the release somehow.

It does seem like the Dice leadership is just incompetent. Again they should just shift BF to ripple effect and Dice can either die or make something else.

The UI is so amazingly broken it's hilarious.

Buttons don't work, or skip, or don't do anything, or don't have any reason to exist in the first place.

I know :dice: don't employ QA but even a basic level check of their menus would have spotted this nonsense.

I've been in multiple games where there are no vehicles left to call in when I need one - feels like they need a couple more per map, or at least throw in some motorcycles or ATVs or something near spawns.

My theory is they turned off solo weapon unlocks so that the people joining on day 1 don't get wrecked and farmed to hell and back, meaning I bet they allow it starting on the 19th.

I'm okay with this as long as they also fix the drat bloom. The main competiton to this game is warzone and apex and to not have at least somewhat similar shooting mechanics will kill the game hard.

It would be really funny if they wiped everyone on the 19th

Why don’t bullets work in this game, I lit a guy up with an entire magazine only to have him turn around and kill me. I know I was hitting him cause I was getting blood shot out of him.

Like, if guns don’t work in your shooter, you should probably delay the game as that seems pretty critical to me.

- A new gun that you can buy or unlock after 1000h of gameplay

Why the gently caress are they waiting til March? That poo poo should have started Jan 1.

You forgot to mention some new specialist quips.
