I know that Battlefield 2042 is somewhat of a black sheep in the franchise, but I think that it’s “Portal” servers is one of the best additions.

Portal allows people to spin up their own servers with custom rule sets, scenarios and maps and weapons from across the BF franchise. For example, this video from JackFrags shows a match that plays entirely different from the fast paced and much higher TTK vanilla BF2042.

With BF2042 on sale, I would encourage people to give it a shot, if not just for the Portal servers. There are some genuinely awesome experiences to be had there and it can only get better with more players.

Portal can be decent fun, but the problem is that the devs did a poor job integrating it into the rest of progression so very few people play it unless its 1000% damage HC servers.

The regular modes are generally a lot more rewarding IMO and at this point the content for it is reasonably fleshed out. The biggest issue is that now the new content that is coming is very much a drip feed.
