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.

On PC, you're better off just getting BattleBit Remastered if you're not turned off by the graphics. It's more mil-sim than BF but not as heavy-handed as an actual mil-sim, which makes it pretty damn fun. The only thing I miss is being able to parachute.

I’ve been playing it a lot and it’s much better than people say. I like the new operator mechanics it leads to cooler gameplay. My favorite moment was using a wing suit and dropping grenades from the air to stop an enemy push.

My biggest issue is the vanilla maps that have yet to be reworked like the ice map that is sniper hell.
