portal

[grave flame]

Yeah, it could change EVERYTHING!

[vast hamlet]

games are already dead enough outside of BF1 and like, the 5 full servers of BF4

[grave flame]

Comparing Halo to BF? Wow

[vast hamlet]

im not doing that

where did i do that

[rotund bay]

no, the question is, why not? 😄

[south osprey]

Why not have portal?? Ya'll find anything to complain about

[vast hamlet]

i mean i guess, but it still makes no sense

[vast hamlet]

40yo internet user wanting to go back to "le good ol' days" when LAN was relevant and people used windows 95

[grave flame]

Play what you like... I just commented how excited I am about BF getting proper official mod support

[cunning hound]

exactly 💀

[vast hamlet]

and what will you possibly do with that. make mods no-one will play?

[grave flame]

You just don't know what a truly modded BF feels like, I get it

[rotund bay]

Look, the looks of it, portal looks like an endless possibilities, this is huge to keep the game going.

[south osprey]

Nothing really wrong with that though, he wants to have fun, let him

[upper girder]

ive seen nothing about mod tools to fight cheaters, thats crucial to maintain portal at long term

[cunning hound]

I could argue about this take for days but I cant be bothered tbh

[grave flame]

Exactly brother... I don't understand what this dude Reg is talking about. He clearly doesn't realize about the potential that Portal has for the franchise

[cunning hound]

how did you know?

[south osprey]

So what if nobody plays them? They're there, and there's always an audience

[grave flame]

but give the modders just ONE WEEK!!! 😄

[vast hamlet]

1984 mod abuse

[old lily]

Halo forge is back folks. Need long hall, duck hunt and much more classics back hahahaha

[tidal pond]

L Ragebait tbh

[rotund bay]

100% sure, there will be a tons of useless mods , maps, but even if there are a plenty few, we are good

[paper raptor]

I think I'm gonna make a squad based gamemode

[vast hamlet]

tru

[cunning hound]

real

[vast hamlet]

i think dice has you covered on that one bro

[upper girder]

you can make més maps or you can only work on an existing maps?

[paper raptor]

Or just use Mirak Valley😂

The map is big enough

[grave flame]

Of course, not everything can be good because anyone will be able to create modded content

[fathom flame]

$1,000,000 to whoever makes a new mobasa from halo odst

[cunning hound]

PLEASE

[vast hamlet]

you aint got a milly bfr

[cunning hound]

bait used to be believable

[rotund bay]

With moving things around on the map, you literally can make anything, you can recreate old maps, even if it's not 1:1 , but very close

[tidal pond]

fr

[vast hamlet]

thats not even bait

[south osprey]

now he's just trying too hard 😭

[grave flame]

Just 15 days to play the best BF in history boys. Beyond excited!!!!!

[rotund bay]

Westie was playing on "de_dust2" from CS

OMG

[vast hamlet]

BF3 released 14 years ago dawg ur late

[tidal pond]

that’s actually a good take tho

[grave flame]

Again, kid, I can see that you did not play Battlefield 2: Special Forces

[rotund bay]

yeah, I wouldn't go that far

[grave flame]

BF3 was awesome though

[vast hamlet]

obviously not bruh

[south osprey]

The game's fun but really outdated

[rotund bay]

They need to keep pushing content as well to be the best

[vast hamlet]

japanese soldier who kept fighting 29 years after ww2

[cunning hound]

dont even respond to him, hes just baiting 😂

[grave flame]

I know, BF3 is the most popular game in the franchise. I know that very well. I have been a BF tester since BF2

[vast hamlet]

every opinion i agree with -> based free thinking awesome

every opinion i disagree with -> L ragebait troll

[vast hamlet]

BF1 was you goober 💔

[rotund bay]

yep, everyone loves BF3-4, and yet not many playing with those anymore

[cunning hound]

😂 😂 😂

[tidal pond]

insane

[grave flame]

BF2142 Titan mode was peak fun in the BF franchise. There was something truly special about that mode. Anyone here played it?

[grave flame]

Exactly. BF1 is more popular (amazing game by the way)

[cunning hound]

I havent, but I might buy it since they released a mod that remasters the whole game

[rotund bay]

Bf1 , great game for a lot, for me, it was the WW1 that i could not sink in , still had like 500+ hours in it, but not my most played BF

[vast hamlet]

class of 2000 reunion 💔

[grave flame]

Unfortunately, brother, it will not be the same. The graphics are quiet dated and I don't know how many people will be playing it. Let's not forget that back in those days BF had dedicated servers and people waited in line in the best servers to experience that mode at its best. Damn, I miss dedicated servers!

[grave flame]

Yeah, I prefer a modern era. But BF1 was a well made BF game.

I think the only thing that I will miss from BF6 will be dedicated servers. I think EA/DICE should go back to that system.

[edgy belfry]

Missed opportunity not bringing in 2042 portal assets. Especially bf1942.

[grave flame]

I agree. When I first read that BF2042 would had mod support I was super excited, but later I was disappointed. I think DICE is trying to make BF6 their best in the franchise and it looks like they have FINALLY listened about this modding topic

By the way, BF2142 doens't look that dated for such an old game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7JFZ2E1Pz7M&t=1s

[weary mortar]

🫃

[grave flame]

By the way. This is why BF2:SF was one of the most revolutionary games, not only in the franchise, but as an FPS:

"Battlefield 2: Special Forces introduced revolutionary gameplay with stealth mechanics, unique gadgets like zip lines and grappling hooks, and tactical advantages through tear gas, enhancing tactical depth and urban combat environments that were new to the series. It also featured distinct special forces classes and weapons for each faction, such as silenced weapons and body armor, emphasizing teamwork and strategic play for specific objectives beyond standard combat."

All those city combats that you experience in BF3? Yeah, they were born in BF2 and BF2:SF

[normal stream]

Hello guys, i have only one question, did the portal server have official servers from dice with mods like RUSH and others ?

[glad ingot]

Will be possible to make e.g a world war 2 Battlefield 6 version?

[grave flame]

Hey Wed! Portal in BF2042 supports this feature in a way

You can play in BF1942 maps with modern weapons and tanks

and vice-versa

The biggest difference from the Portal in BF2042 to the one in BF6 is that now we will have like a map creator with assets. That means endless possibilities for map creation

[lyric aurora]

Do we know if in the new portal we can play with a full team of 30 friends? And not get kicked off the same team in the next game?

[grave flame]

As I said earlier, just give good modders A WEEK in the new Portal. I have no doubts that amazing things are gonna come out

[grave flame]

This is a great question

in the old Portal you could select teams though

[lyric aurora]

I think around Christmas & new years it will be ready!

[grave flame]

and of course you can already join custom servers with your usual squad of friends

[lyric aurora]

Like kick people off our team and make room for our friends?

[grave flame]

Honestly, I have waited for 2 decades bro, haha!!! I am in no rush now!

[grave flame]

Yes, admin already have control of these features in BF2042's Portal

[lyric aurora]

I’m excited, I hope they give us more big maps & more armor!!

[lyric aurora]

So it’s basically server browser???

[grave flame]

I'm beyond excited! 🙂

[lyric aurora]

Every one I’ve talked to in here says portal wasn’t like that…

Sounds the same to me except free…

lol

[grave flame]

Yes, there is a server browsing option already in the current Portal. I hope they improved it for this new version. Nobody knows about Portal though, only devs and probably a few content creators, but I am hoping that they make the Portal we all want and need

[grave flame]

You can browse servers in Portal already, whoever told you the opposite looks like did not play Portal 😄

But again, the current Portal is pretty basic and limited.

[lyric aurora]

I played 2042 like a week, no hardcore mode at first. I quit fast…

[grave flame]

but we saw the potential since the beginning... Let's not forget that BF2042 seemed to be a rushed BF game, so I would say that was the reason why they did not do Portal the way it was supposed to be.

This will be the most expensive BF in the franchise, productionwise. With a rumored budget of over 400 million USD

[lyric aurora]

Damn!!!

[grave flame]

Yeah, the game was in a terrible state for a long, long time. Now it's good, but far from the best BF in the franchise

[lyric aurora]

Bf3&4 are the best games they have ever made! lol

[grave flame]

I disagree. I think BF2 and its expansions were more revolutionary. What you saw in BF3 and BF4 it was like the evolution of BF2.

but I get that BF3 was the most popular game in the franchise

BF2142 in my opinion had the most fun game mode in a BF game. The mode was called "Titan"

[manic dust]

Probably not bc portal is absolute dumpster fire and dice has no clue

[grave flame]

people had to shoot themselves from transports or fly in planes to this spaceships in the air and get to the core of it to destroy it. The battles inside those things man... LEGENDARY

[next imp]

BF2 was peak BF for sure

[manic dust]

Imagine having a sever but you can’t admin other people or do 90% of what you could on dedicated servers

[grave flame]

100%

it just didn't have the graphics of BF3 or BF4

[manic dust]

They are pushing this portal garbage so freaking hard and it’s pathetic honestly.

[next imp]

Yea it's really outdated now but I think if you gave it a good remaster people would see it blows 3 etc out the water

[grave flame]

many techincal limitations back in BF2 in comparison to more modern titles. But hell yeah, BF2 was peak BF

[grave flame]

Man, you don't know what you're talking about... Giving people the chance to officially mod a game is GREAT!!!!

[manic dust]

I can’t wait to play on a custom made map to farm xp vs 63 bots !

[grave flame]

I agree. Maybe we can remaster it in Portal, haha

[manic dust]

Yea bf6 would be sick climbing boxes into the sky looks amazing

[grave flame]

This was already capped in BF2042's Portal...

[grave flame]

Are you 10?

[manic dust]

Oh you want to play as a clan well sorrry

That aspect of bf is dead

[grave flame]

Why do you only see the negative side of Portal?

[manic dust]

Community aspect is gone

[grave flame]

I agree with this though

[manic dust]

It’s call of duty now bro

They are slowing morphing into cod

[grave flame]

this is why I said earlier that BF needs to go back to Dedicated servers

[manic dust]

They legit put rush out with a 12 or 16 player cap lmao

[grave flame]

but Portal is a GREAT thing for the franchise, and you will see this with time

[manic dust]

They want that fast pace 5 minute rounds

Bro portal sucks

Stop coping

[grave flame]

I did not dislike Rush like that in the beta

[manic dust]

Dedicated servers would be 10000x better

You want ppl to make maps that’s cool put a map editor

[lyric aurora]

If they make it like server browser it will be fine, if it’s not… it will be a wrap!

[manic dust]

But hosting a server through portal is beyond a joke

It will be ful of XP farm ammo drop servers

[grave flame]

I have experienced BF in its peak modding days. No, I won't stop. I believe in a great BF made with mods. I will always believe in this because I've seen it. Many people played BF1942 because of the Desert Combat mod

[manic dust]

90% of players will just quick match into a game so all the portal servers stay empty

[grave flame]

In the current Portal, yes. I hope this has been improved

[manic dust]

whoever came up with the portal idea at dice should be fired honestly

They have no game sense

They should work at McDonald’s

[grave flame]

This happened with dedicated servers too, it's normal. People will play in the best modded servers. NO DOUBT

[lyric aurora]

I’m so confused if it’s going to be like server browser?? Will it or will it not be like server browser??? lol

[manic dust]

It will have a browser just like 2042 lol

[grave flame]

My God...

[manic dust]

In the portal section

You can pick which xp farm server you would like lol

They didn’t change anything

[grave flame]

If you are going to talk shit, I would recommend you being informed first. There are already images online of the new Portal browsing. Oficial images...

[manic dust]

It’s legit the same thing coming from 2042 with a map editor

[grave flame]

so yeah, I'm done talking to you about Portal, you don't know what you're talking about

[manic dust]

Yea but the browser is in the Portal section

It’s legit nothing different

[grave flame]

Are you as blind as Stevie Wonder?

It is DEFINITELY different...

[manic dust]

Nah

You will see

[grave flame]

But ok, you can keep your hate

all good

[manic dust]

She garbage

Same old stuff

They failed so hard in so many things on this game

You reload after every round into a new server just like 2042 which is pure comedy

[dawn plinth]

yo @grave flame can I ask something? What do you expect from the BF6 Portal? I saw the video and they show the browser. I'm not here to say the same as the other person, but I want to know: Do they will allow us to write code or I'll need to connect the blocks like 2042?

[manic dust]

You host a portal server but you can’t give admin to others and you have basically no control of anything besides the settings

[cunning hound]

you can write code and make custom rulesets

[dawn plinth]

thank god

[cunning hound]

this is a fully fledged game engine that they are giving us

its not just a map editor

[dawn plinth]

I hope they release the SDK before the launch, so we can study

[manic dust]

Just give us back our servers

[dawn plinth]

I mean, yes

Godot allow us to do so much

[manic dust]

It never needed this portal overall

[grave flame]

Click on the video, does it look the same as the Portal in BF2042??? https://youtu.be/92CHDiFW0wA?si=dwQbjLeHBS0BE3LG&t=184

[dawn plinth]

but, again, will them allow us to do anything with the GDScript language?

[manic dust]

It’s still garbage dude

[dawn plinth]

No, I mean, the spatial editor looks awesome. I'm just concerned with the browser version of Portal

[cunning hound]

this is the best editor that we'll ever get

[manic dust]

I want control of the server

I don’t care about settings and map editing

[cunning hound]

what do you mean by that

[manic dust]

I want to have my clan mates have admin

I wanna kick people

[dawn plinth]

I guess he's saying the same control we had with RCON (BF3/4)

[manic dust]

Yes

[grave flame]

I am not sure about writing code, but we can create maps with assets! This is completely NEW in the BF franchise. Now, I do not expect to be this Portal the best in the series, I would say that it would need another version at least to reach its Peak, or what we truly want... But it will depend ont he post-launch content or the plans they have for this particular BF mode.

[manic dust]

You know how clans had community’s and play together

[cunning hound]

I think that you'll have that option too dont worry

[unreal willow]

I don't think it's really been confirmed, but I can't think of any other reason they'd have their portal editor running on godot other than to allow for that.

[grave flame]

Mate, you can kick people and have a clan. But the clan is not in the old dedicated server way, but pretty similar I would say.

[manic dust]

The .00001% of players that care about editing maps

[cunning hound]

yes, as I've said already

[cunning hound]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[manic dust]

Yea I can but can I give my officers admin

[cunning hound]

I do care

[manic dust]

Can they kick

Can we swap people to different teams

Ban people

[dawn plinth]

If I can do anything with GDScript, I'll be able to bring some plugins to BF6

[manic dust]

Etc

[cunning hound]

yes you will be able to do everything you've just said

[dawn plinth]

like, VIP manager, map manager, VoteMap, etc.

[cunning hound]

as I said

you can customize everything

[manic dust]

If you guys wanna make a xp farm custom map and play vs bots all day that’s cool

But for the 99.8% of player base

[merry fox]

I'd argue it's better because you don't have to pay for the servers and you can spin up new servers as needed.

[grave flame]

Guess why, because poeple have NEVER experience a BF with that option.

[manic dust]

They want what I’m asking

[rare remnant]

Frick it im making mega bonk clone in bf6

[manic dust]

Dude

[cunning hound]

its not 99.8% but ok

[manic dust]

Stop

It is

No one cares about playing some random junk map

[grave flame]

That is a good point! Back in the BF2 days I was in high school, I had no money to pay for dedicated servers and it limited me.

now it will be free

[manic dust]

And you have minimal controls

[smoky moth]

Interesting portal vid. Still worried it’s going to divide the playerbase

[manic dust]

And it’s in a seperate section of the game

[manic dust]

It will

90% just click quick match

[cunning hound]

It wont at all, 90% of the community will be busy with MP, Campaign and BR for the first few months

[rare remnant]

Divide 50mil by 2 and u still get 25mil players

[merry fox]

It's fine, you can spin up your circlejerk nostalgia portal server which will have persistent servers and closed weapons and be just like BF4 but on the new maps and it will be just like a new BF4 expansion

[manic dust]

Whatever you guys just coping man

[grave flame]

I think there will be a lot of people playing the classic modes all the time, myself included

[rare remnant]

Cant we just re make all old maps

[manic dust]

Im just trying to make the game better

They just focusing to much on things no one cares about

[smoky moth]

That’s true. I’d really like to recreate absolute classic maps or scenario’s that would actually fit in the base game. I dont care about falling tanks or Up type gameplay

[dawn plinth]

But, pay for servers isn't a bad thing. I mean, I get your point and it's good for the majority of the players, but I don't see a reason to not allow us to have a dedicated server to host Portal

[merry fox]

Portal makes the game better.

[manic dust]

It really doesn’t

[dawn plinth]

101% true

[manic dust]

2042 proved that

[dawn plinth]

Bro, fvck 2042

[cunning hound]

it does

[grave flame]

Strike at Karkand, please!!!!!!!!!

[smoky moth]

Hell yea bro

[rare remnant]

Yeah guys build in easy to use map and game mode editor is not epic at all

[merry fox]

No, people just ignored it. Literally 80% of what they asked for was in Portal on launch.

[smoky moth]

So many absolute classics are lost to time

[rare umbra]

Portal is just an extra freebie way I see it. You don’t have to play it. But it is fun to try sometimes if you want a break from quick play

[dawn plinth]

I want to bring back some maps from older BF games

[cunning hound]

exactly

[grave flame]

I agree

[dawn plinth]

If Portal allows me to do that, it's the best thing ever and makes the Game great af

[grave flame]

having options is always a good thing

[rare remnant]

Nah guys u dont get it we wnet from scracth to gudo litery

[grave flame]

EXACTLY!

[smoky moth]

Right there with ya

[rare remnant]

We pretty much have steam workshop build in with all the tools u need

[manic dust]

We will see soon enough 🙂

[grave flame]

True that, can't wait!!!!!!!!

[dawn plinth]

ALSO, it can create CLAN/Platoon communities like we still have with BF4/1

[urban cloud]

Is there a faq? Is it possible to import custom models?

[merry fox]

It would take a lot of effort and require a base map that's large enough, but with the map editor yes you can theoretically do that to recreate any map smaller than the map you are working on

[rare remnant]

Not yet

[manic dust]

If they just give us RCON type controls of our server

I would be 100% fine

[merry fox]

Just have to build it on top of the original map

[smoky moth]

Fair is fair, we used custom maps back in the CS1.6, CSS and BF2 project reality all the time. This is no different

[urban cloud]

Yet.

Hypeeee

[dawn plinth]

That's a thing that I didn't like from the video

[grave flame]

I will never understand why they stopped doing this

[rare remnant]

Im preety sure u can remove parts of old map

[smoky moth]

This actually made it have a community OUTSIDE of the game

[merry fox]

If you can do this, then yeah, you don't even need to build it on top

[dawn plinth]

I want to build open-source software/apps for the community, like we have PRoCon to control the plugins and game settings

[manic dust]

Miss that so much

[smoky moth]

AFAIK CoD has/had this?

[manic dust]

Twl matches

[smoky moth]

I remember something about a prefix or something

[grave flame]

I don't think this will be possible. Just imagine all the dicks people would be uploading... Not to mention the size of all the data. It would cost DICE a lot of money. But damn, it would be AMAZING to be able to upload photogrammetry maps done with my drone

[smoky moth]

TWL and ClanBase hell yea bro 🤣🙏🏻

[grave flame]

Yeah bro, I will never understand that decision 🙁

[rare remnant]

Probably next portal version will have it

[merry fox]

What if they did a discord integration?

[smoky moth]

Yea… if only they listened to the community 🤣

[dawn plinth]

I was hoping to bring Op. Locker back to BF6 😆

[dawn plinth]

If Godot allows me... I'll

[smoky moth]

Like you used to have with Xfire? Sounds solid. Or am I just too old rn

[merry fox]

I didn't have internet in those days, but probably

[grave flame]

It would be a dream come true!!!!

[dawn plinth]

Imagine creating custom discord voice channels for each squad for each team, and move everyone back to a "lobby" voice channel when the game ends HAHAHAHAHA

[smoky moth]

Oh god yes. Ventrillo/Teamspeak flashbacks

[rare remnant]

Next portal will be just 80 dollar engine with build in ai that do code for u

[dawn plinth]

using AI, yikes

[grave flame]

Teamspeak!!!!!!!!!! What a time to be alive that was 😄

[smoky moth]

Hahaha yea sure was 🤣

[rare remnant]

If u want easy to use for non propgramer game engine with no limitation ai seems as an obvious way of doing it

[grave flame]

😄

[merry fox]

You can definitely point people at a discord in your portal server

[waxen jewel]

Has it been confirmed yet if the Godot portal engine will allow for terrain editing?

[craggy yoke]

Are people seriously complaining about portal custom maps?

[grave flame]

Yep, sure you can!

[smoky moth]

I use AI alot nowadays but only for base level stuff. Junior level. On architectual/lead stuff I still do myself.

[rare remnant]

Terain like a baseline of map or like building?

[dawn plinth]

I would like to bring a awp_india back to modern games 🤣

[grave flame]

Unfortunately... Looks like giving options to people is a bad thing to some

[smoky moth]

Peak!

[craggy yoke]

Isn't the solution for those who don't like (weirdos, they probably sniff their underwear too) just to not use it?

[dawn plinth]

yes

[merry fox]

So far unknown. A series of tutorial videos from DICE staff would be great

[dawn plinth]

just don't play Portal, it's simple (:

[grave flame]

Haha! Exactly man, but people nowadays...

[smoky moth]

Depends on how dirty the underwear is or how custom the gameplay is

[craggy yoke]

I'm not going to be able to enjoy this unfortunately

[smoky moth]

I could go either way

[craggy yoke]

I would like to

But I can't

[dawn plinth]

why?

[craggy yoke]

I am a linux user

[dawn plinth]

oh

[smoky moth]

Explain

[dawn plinth]

shit, me too

[smoky moth]

My condolences

[craggy yoke]

And DICE don't support proton

[rare remnant]

My condolences

[merry fox]

Oof

[dawn plinth]

but yeah, I have Windows only to play games

[craggy yoke]

I could create a windows VM but secure boot kinda fucks that

[smoky moth]

F in chat right? 🤣

[craggy yoke]

I dislike kernel level software it's too much hassle

[rare remnant]

Cant u use consol to play?

[haughty cargo]

Just got a wait until people who played halo reach forge get their hands on it

[grave flame]

But it's to play BF man, do it!

[craggy yoke]

I don't have one lmfao

[dawn plinth]

bro...

[craggy yoke]

I don't have secure boot enabled

[dawn plinth]

I need to enable/disable secure boot everytime I want to switch OS

[smoky moth]

Then you’re missing out

[dawn plinth]

It's fcking painful

[rare remnant]

Ur a linux user so ur either an it for 90%

[merry fox]

Yeah, I don't know if it's worth like $700 to play BF6.

[grave flame]

Great talking to you guys, but I gotta go play some BF now. Talk soon and see you on the BF!!!!!

[craggy yoke]

??

[rare remnant]

Or u really hate Microsoft for some rest

Reson

[waxen jewel]

Yea some tutorial videos would be amazing for sure. Im just nostalgic over the old BFVietnam and BF2 modding days

[next imp]

I'm cautiously optimistic, would love to see what cool shit people can make but I'll be happy with just some 24/7 Karkand tyvm

[smoky moth]

Many other games are worth it too?

[regal salmon]

in my experience it's best not to talk to the fan base if you enjoy something, otherwise you're just going to get hammered with people who are over critical. if you like something, share it with people that also share the same views, you're likely going to enjoy it more.

[dawn plinth]

Who wouldn't?

[merry fox]

If the games he wants to play don't require him to switch to windows or buy a console, they don't come into it tho

[dawn plinth]

yo @craggy yoke, I've sent u a DM

[smoky moth]

True

[craggy yoke]

I'll be honest, I have on and off played battlefield since bf1942

[rare remnant]

Anyway anyone else want to join force and make jetpack battlefield with wall runing

[smoky moth]

What a time to come back then! Since BF4 we’re finally on the way up again

[craggy yoke]

But I game on linux, I run bazzite on my system and steam deck dsily driver

[merry fox]

Just the titans away from titanfall 3 lol

[rare remnant]

True

[haughty cargo]

Kinda want the danger plunger in battlefield 6. Think they do a mode like bf5 vs bf6?

[merry fox]

Might be able to do steam deck?

[rare remnant]

Bf6 portal is the closest stuff we gona get to Titanfall 3

[craggy yoke]

Steam Deck is Linux

It's a shame DICE won't support proton

[merry fox]

I've been wondering what's going to carry over from BF2042 portal to BF6 portal.

[craggy yoke]

They broke BF1 multiplayer for me

[rare remnant]

Maybe in future but thats probably to much work

[regal salmon]

i don't think anything, it's an entirely different take on the tools given

[rare remnant]

Like one of main reason lunch of 42 sucked was becuse they had to remaster 56 guns for portal

And vehicles

And maps

[merry fox]

But that may not be relevant to the maps, weapons etc. It's possible all the other stuff carries over

[craggy yoke]

2042 was undercooked, I blame EA for that

[merry fox]

Unlikely but possible

[craggy yoke]

Also... 2142

Give us a goddamn 2142 sequel maybe

Haha

[rare remnant]

So r2 lunched with like 12 maps and 70wepons but large portion was locked in aditional gamemode

[craggy yoke]

2142 fans have been waiting 19 years

[merry fox]

They messed up going for 128 players. It screwed their server infrastructure

[craggy yoke]

It felt like they got too focused on the set pieces... like you saw they were playing into fan community but then the game itself... yeah

[haughty cargo]

Yah a lot of resources for it. Doesn't mean they can't work on it slowly since they want to do a battle pass could be a event where they add the different games.

[merry fox]

Will be interesting to see what comes into the game over the years. Not having to remaster maps, we should be able to ask for a redone old map for portal and a new map each season

[haughty cargo]

True I just don't want them to flub this up. I loved the beta

[merry fox]

Agreed

[haughty cargo]

With share holders and hype it seems impossible for them to be hands off

[craggy yoke]

The thing is these companies pursue profit at long term costs

Remember that guy?

https://youtu.be/ZR6-u8OIJTE

Same guy who pushed microtransactions (and wanted to charge people to reload in battlefield) and later went on to become unity CEO when they were proposing a $0.20 charge per install

[dawn plinth]

It can't be real

[craggy yoke]

It was

And is

[cedar marten]

Alright, what are we mad about now?

[dawn plinth]

Only a guy was mad about not having full control of the server like we had with RCON (BF3/4/Hardline (?))

[cedar marten]

Oh that's not too bad! I would assume something along the lines of "No way I'm pre-ordering this now" or whatever?

[jade quarry]

so...

and what are we thinking? :)

[mystic forge]

Looking through the portal announcement material, any confirmation yet on whether we'll need a PC copy of the game to use the editor tools on PC, or will it be something where owning any copy would suffice?

[hardy cave]

Can we please get a Dino horde mode? Been waiting since BF3

[iron crag]

do you think its possible to port in assets like custom vehicles or player models or is this all strictly for in game assets?

[opaque cairn]

no chance

for basically this same reason - " Capcom says mods for its PC games can cause "reputational damage" thanks to content which causes offence to "public order and morals".

[drowsy onyx]

So how will the portal work in practice? If I make a custom game mode, how do I "share" it with people? Will there be like a search function to look for stuff and they get saved on your device, or does it only go through the portal?

[zinc mist]

You either host it and players can join your server and/or you use the portal code that is given to you when you build an experience and hand that out to others. If you play around the current bf2042 portal it should give you an idea of how it’s going to work.

[drowsy onyx]

So if I make a big 64 player map I somehow have to get 63 friends to play it at the same time rather than just make a server that slowly fills up whether I am present or not?

[wheat finch]

Im sure this might have been asked already but just in case : Is there any plans to release assets or content from older Battlefield titles in Portal? Similar to what 2042 did.

Being able to recreat old maps is amazing but, id love to remake 2142 maps. Be even better if by some miracle we can make our own Titan mode again.

[opaque cairn]

The best i can give you is added assets from themed, paid dlc

They never advertised Legacy Vs Legacy titles like they did with the first Portal

[wheat finch]

This is true. My dream of a 2143 will forever be clouded XD I was one of them fools back in vanilla BF4 that when we saw those numbers on cinderblocks we thought a possible sequel would come

BF4s Phantom Program and final DLC only made me want it more

[opaque cairn]

Oh wow yeah i vaguely remember that

I was Dinosaur mode hype era. Fell off after that i never bought 4

[wheat finch]

Hahaha yeah you got more years on me for sure. My first game was 2142 till i backtracked from there and then new stuff came out.

That particular asthetic for me will always be special, and I only hope that either it gets a revitalized or reimagined in some way semi-officially

[dawn plinth]

Yeah, but he also was saying the BF6 Portal is the same shit as 2042, which is false

[jade quarry]

the main part of Portal works in a web browser where you need to sigh in with your EA account.

if that account has an active game license, it will work.

it's the same in 2042.

and the Spatial Editor SDK you get from that website.

so no, you don't need to buy Battlefield 6 twice.

or maybe you don't even need a game license to create Portal experiences.

but you wouldn't be able to test and play them if you didn't have that.

[jade quarry]

I imagine the same way as it works in BF2042 - through experience codes.

[jade quarry]

you can either put PVP AI that temporarily occupy player slots until someone joins or just leave the server online while you do something else.

Portal servers are permanent this time from what I've heard.

[paper raptor]

I believe you can make actual custom game mode?

So maybe you can place both MCOM and capture point?

[rare remnant]

Im not sure if u will need copy at all

Portla in 2042 was released like a week ir 2 before game and anyone could do their game modes

[rare remnant]

Yeah

Actually u can do pretty much anything but create new assets

[rare remnant]

Titan mode is rather off the table (unless ea reach 100milion sold copies and decide to develop this game for next 8 years)

[zinc holly]

I want to know if we can add water or a carrier ship

So we can create Gulf of Oman like maps

[untold kelp]

I would like to see highway tampa for big tank battles

[uncut arrow]

haven't confirmed in the yt vids today about poertal, but has a solo moder against bots been mentioned for Bf6? I've really enjoyed just playing at a more chill pace on the hard difficulty bot mode and unlocking stuff. A lot of days I just dont feel competitive enough to do full PVP.

Heck, even the mode in the beta where it is 1/3 real players, 2/3 bots to level up to 15 was cool, kinda reminded me of playing Enlisted

[grave flame]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f6RGo76uyTk

from JackFrags

[gritty plume]

Id love to see someone try to copy operation metro

[uncut arrow]

ok yeah that sounds promising, best confirmation yet 🙂 Watched Cadwoman and Levelcap and the info around solo was more murky

[grave flame]

[exotic fjord]

Will the free servers in portal be 60 hz?

If not, will there be a way to buy a persistent 60 hz server?

[cold anchor]

The only reason people think Portal is good is because they took everything good out of the franchise as it used to be 🤣
20 years ago we could host our own servers on our own hardware, with our own settings and rules...
"Hey look a server browser" oh, ya don't say?

[manic dust]

right.... its pure comedy at this point reading all these posts of people trying to hype it up

[tight cloak]

I'm messing around in portal and I'm struggling to keep AI bots from de-spawning when they are immobilized. I've seen bots that are "frozen" in other test range-type servers but I'm not sure what to use to replicate it. Could I get some help or advice?

[vague wadi]

Trying to do this Casper drone mission (vs AI) is the actual final boss.

[frozen matrix]

First thing I'm doing in portal is recreating Blood Gultch from Halo.

[jade quarry]

you don't make sense, dude...

[jade quarry]

EXACTLY THIS!

[jade quarry]

I feel like that will come as an update to BF6's Portal.

do you remember that video from some EA business event where they showed a system that could create maps from text prompts? they even used early Battlefield 6 assets in that. :D

[jade quarry]

https://youtu.be/Aud5bniXDOg?si=Wf8k-rRdlvladh4e

[tacit copper]

ye i remember this, im p certain this will make it in portal

[jade quarry]

same. :)

this will remove the biggest hurdle for platforms like Portal.

[slate axle]

I love taking out peoples Casper drones

[vague wadi]

I don't even want to use it. I don't even really want to play 2042. I'm just trying to get through the battle pass as quickly as I can. All of the other missions have been pretty easy to get through doing PVP AI. The Casper drone one is tough because the AI hardly uses anything

[slate axle]

Yeah 2042 is the worst fps game I have ever played

[vague wadi]

You must not have played valorant

[slate axle]

There’s no way anything is worse than 2042

[vague wadi]

Idk... Call of Duty infinite warfare was pretty horrendous. Black ops 6 wasn't very good either. Black ops 7 looks like it wants to take the crown for worst AAA shooter of all time.

IF YOU WANT SOME ACTUAL GOOD FPS ACTION (not actually an FPS though): https://store.steampowered.com/app/2306590/Apewar/

[slate axle]

Ok bo7 is the worst but damn that steam game looks better than bf6

[jade quarry]

[visual sleet]

Can you get groups to particpate on one singular project or does the project have to be done in a solo setting

I'd like to create map designs with teams of people if possible, would be interesting to get a co-op portal editing system

[humble pilot]

I think having a git repository should always be an option. Godot has native support for it if I'm not mistaken. Therefore you should be able to split work

[feral falcon]

Genuinely curious why the trailer was never posted to YouTube.

I almost didn't see it bc of it

[visual sleet]

I’ll have to look into GitHubing again, good looking man

[small forge]

Are there any posted bf 6 godot projects already or api docs?

[grave flame]

Yes, but no mod support and we had to pay for that. DICE needs to bring dedicated servers back, then do Portal the right way!

[mighty forge]

Would be pretty hard to source control logic no?

Actually

You could probably make a chrome plugin to help you do that

[wet ginkgo]

Just lost so hard on Reclaimed that I think we prolapsed

It was pathetic

[humble pilot]

Already did that for 2042 😉

[proven cradle]

likely not until release, I think now is the time to download godot engine though and play about so you can familiarise yourself with the toolset.

[small forge]

yep, already did
it's so simple and minimalistic engine
love it

[tired basalt]

i there a tutorial video i can follow to learn how to use godot?

or should i wait for the tutorial that will be included in BF6

[high steeple]

Single player looks 🔥 thank you dice

[wide ferry]

Ya if you're in the industry, you now got confirmation that the updated portal is their answer to building a training database for their internal AI tools. 😀

To understand how Godot fits into this - they are using lets say a lite wrapper of their interface, I wouldn't say it's the Godot engine at all but the editor interface, to allow you to manipulate their digital asset managed content. They are then hooking the output of a TSCN file (Godot scene/Level) file. This is the main file to understand.

https://docs.godotengine.org/en/4.4/contributing/development/file_formats/tscn.html

I am not a Godot developer - but understand these tools very well - if anyone is really serious about understanding how this will work I would suggest downloading Godot and poking about but also understand that BF/EA is not using their engine, just their interface - why? Their interface, like Unity and Unreal, has been designed around the last 15-20 years of other engines and how to best manipulate and layout content in a 3D environment. It's a great user experience.

Again that TSCN file is the format to understand... next would be (upon launch) is building a library of all of the asset names and general bounding box sizes... and as some of you all have already talked about - working on web plugins that let us hook in to export/import. That way we could in theory either use Godots entire engine or something else and build content not in portal but import it back in. We won't have their assets, but you really don't need them to build/layout content. You just need general information and placeholders.

And then let groups of people work together - but I'm sure they are thinking about that as well.

[mighty forge]

theyre using godot because its FOSS so they dont have to pay royalties, plus they dont need to strip down their internal editor, FrostEd

[mighty forge]

would be nice if their scene parser was able to read simple material resources like this:
[sub_resource type="StandardMaterial3D" id="StandardMaterial3D_0xm2m"]
albedo_color = Color(1, 0, 0, 1)

then we could attach them to the primitive shape objects

[hallow salmon]

Im gonna make a huge iraq map, night ops, raids n shi

[slim veldt]

What do you think of portal 2?

[marble burrow]

Is there no play test today?

Also how are pple getting access to the campaigns

[south osprey]

Probably content creators getting access

[strong gale]

That and its been playable at Tokyo Game Show

[stray trellis]

Maybe one of you will make this game worth buying on a deep discount if the Portal editor is any good

[shrewd swallow]

https://soundcloud.com/okayheartless-712320769/sets/crosslink-collab-comp-best-of-1-8?si=6469ddc41aa34dcbbd4ba56c304ead42&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

[sweet mauve]

man.. I was planning on making a BC2 Oasis x BF4 Caspian Border mashup since those are two of my favorite maps. Had all the art concepts done and was even starting to build a prototype in blender but looks like portal will only be adding new assets to pre existing maps :/ so that blows

I hope they give the option for a blank slate template map and the ability to edit terrain

I feel like with portal we should be pushing to allow the community to completely recreate old battlefield maps, new unique maps that are dice quality for conquest and rush instead of silly nothing but concrete jet maps or adding 100 new hesco barriers to an existing map because I think the vast majority of people wont play those anyways after they try them out one time. While I think people WOULD play map recreations or completely new unique AAA quality conquest maps etc.

My suggestion is that we should be able to import heightmaps in a typical 0-1 greyscale. In which the editor or portal will auto convert it to a tiled mesh as we see in the editor from the real dice maps. Akin to unreal engine heightmap import. To which we can apply any of the auto materials from the other maps giving basically a vast amount of options for biomes etc just based on a few different auto materials from the base maps

[manic dust]

Is there anywhere I can find what admins are able to do in the new portal? Like can I give an officer of my clan admin to my server? Can we kick/ban players? Move people to different teams? Any of these things?

[opaque cairn]

https://youtu.be/TvE-Xl_U5Rs

[opaque cairn]

It feels like a 'maybe next time' kind of situation, but i agree with everything you said.

[subtle ocean]

I'm excited.

One...more....WEEK

[haughty cargo]

one? its like 2 more what you talking about

[jade quarry]

there was a Battlefield 6 Live Developer Showcase stream from the Tokyo Game Show.

they showed a screenshot of the new Portal website.

it looks like we will get both a block-based and a text-based scripting system.

:)

[abstract sedge]

When you say block-based you mean nodes right?

[jade quarry]

no, I mean the Blockly system as it exists in the rules editor of Portal v1.

it looks like we will still do the scripting in the browser but the map editing will happen in Godot.

and scripting will be possible to be done in two ways.

block-based or text-based.

[serene zealot]

No one cares about Portal. Bring back the server browser like the good old days so we can deal with cheaters / rule breakers.

[fiery crag]

I think we still underestimate the scale that BF6 will take. It is ultra ambitious. If everything is mastered, it can become one of the best FPS games.

[prisma field]

You can kick cheaters and rule breakers as the admin of a portal server.

Portal is everything previous custom servers had plus so much more. It’s just a new name with better features.

[humble pilot]

...and for free!

I really don't get those people asking for a server browser and at the same time willing to get rid of portal... only option: they were selling overpriced hosting service of gameservers back then xD

[mighty forge]

Paying per server slot is a wild concept 😅

[serene zealot]

Worked perfectly fine in literally every iteration of BF game since 1942 apart from 2042. Obviously there were down sides with shitty badmins abusing their powers but that usually ends up killing the server. Portal should be the main feature in BF6 and not hidden behind several menus like in BF 2042.

[slim lichen]

guys , can you please restore the vehicles superiority mode

[hard cove]

Portal is literally what was server browser but God Tier....no reason to go back and every reason to move forward. I hope Portal remains a staple in the franchise and is just expanded on over and over again.

[manic dust]

im glad im not alone!

[manic dust]

portal sucks.... bring back old school server browser where there isnt a seperate section for "official" servers

[manic dust]

it really isnt.... worked fine for years and years. Sorry you dont want to pay to play against bots alone in your server.

[jade quarry]

this fighting over or against something that just gives us more options to control what the game is or can be is just ridiculous.

[manic dust]

can i give someone else admin to my server?>

man portal is just so ppl can xp farm vs ai its trash

its no different than the real world they are catering to the 1% who want something trash

[jade quarry]

why not instead of demanding the removal of something (that is still a net positive even if you personally are not not interested in it) you just ask them to add your desired features if they are not already there.

[jade quarry]

when people use a tool to break stuff or do bad things it doesn't make the tool itself bad.

[manic dust]

if 2042 wasnt a big enough wake up call to remove this garbage idk what will

[jade quarry]

incompetent utilisation doesn't mean the tool is bad

[manic dust]

the fact that you have this put pressing quick play or play now whatever is on the home page doesnt take you into "portal servers" just seperates the playerbase

most people will not use the portal browser

they keep flexing "server browser" but leave out - in portal

they didnt add anything new

[jade quarry]

the problem is the minds of a certain group of gamers not Portal.

[manic dust]

what will change from 2042 to bf6?

you can edit maps... cool thats not a bad thing. but honestly no one will want to play on some random box jump map for more than 10minutes

they put to much time/effort into developing this when they could have made soooooo many other better features for the game

and left the servers alone how they used to be back in bf42/2/3 etc

they couldnt be more out of touch with what the players want and it shows. i give it 1month before we get 2 battlepasses and wacky skins start popping up

they are trying so hard to get the cod community

[jade quarry]

can't you just come to the idea that what EA showed is just an "extreme example" of what is possible and it doesn't mean that that's the only thing people can do with this?

[manic dust]

please use your brain. look at what was done in 2042... it will be the same if not worse bc they keep saying "you get xp"

[jade quarry]

the map editor is the biggest change we 100 % certainly know of so far.

[manic dust]

they have to say that to even get people to conside playing this stupid mode

[steady laurel]

the infantry only rush feels like clickbait bro

[jade quarry]

that XP statement is more nuanced than you make it to be.

[manic dust]

when they dropped rush on the beta with 12 players

or whatever that was pure comedy

call of duty 2.0

[steady laurel]

on this or bf6?

[manic dust]

bf6

[jade quarry]

this is not really a Portal topic. but even there, you will certainly be able to adjust how modes like Rush work.

it doesn't have to be all Only Up-type of games.

[steady laurel]

o my bad i was bitching about the 2042 portal i didnt notice this was bf6 portal

2042 adds vehicles to "infantry only" because that makes sense ya know

[jade quarry]

that's the crucial misconception about Portal and honestly a bit of a bad marketing move by EA.

it's not all about wacky and wild custom games.

[manic dust]

its about pplaying vs ai

with 5 players

or that 1 HC server that is full

maybe

90% ai

[jade quarry]

it is if what you made is just bad.

[manic dust]

proof is in the pudding

look at 2042

it will be same same

but this time you can add extra barricades to hide from your ai

[jade quarry]

but it's not the same thing. at this point you're just rage baiting...

[manic dust]

bc 90% of the playerbase will click play now

they can modify their play now settings

[steady laurel]

they just need to remove the xp farming servers

and actually moderate those

[manic dust]

and quick play with their 3 friends

the days of clan/community servers are done

[opaque cairn]

Plenty of good servers in portal. Learn to filter.

[manic dust]

cope

[sweet mauve]

My suggestion is instead of a flat base template that we should be able to import terrain or landscape heightmaps in a typical 0-1 greyscale. In which the editor or portal will auto convert it to a tiled mesh as we see in the editor from the real dice maps. Akin to what unreal engine does for heightmap imports. To which we can select any of the auto materials from the official maps. This would give users a basically limitless amount of options for locations and biome types while not actually implementing anything super difficult. I assume dice has this functionality internally anyways. It would also keep the quality the same as official maps since users would be using the auto materials from the base game maps and same with assets (as previews of portal have already shown)

DICE pwease <3

[unborn crystal]

Hi all

[jade quarry]

I'm not very familiar with level design. can you lead me to material that shows what you mean? :)

[opaque cairn]

It's basically a black and white image that tells the 3d program how high or low the map geometry is. You can use something similar to tell a texture when to transition from rock to snow on a mountain peak for example

[versed talon]

Anyone here with some portal programming skills? I want to make a tdm Version, where you cant respawn after death, unless a squadmate is performing a kill. I tried it, but i dont get it to work

[sweet mauve]

I’m not sure what you’re asking

You don’t understand auto material, mesh, or height map? You could google any of the three :)

[jade quarry]

someone else already explained it to me.

[mighty forge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBXzyoK4GvE&t=431s

interestingly UGC is mentioned here

[mighty forge]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightmap these things

[opaque cairn]

Wizards man, gotta respect it

[sweet mauve]

oh yea heightmaps arent just a level design or video game thing those are used in many industries and mediums

[mighty forge]

if the youtubers are correct then we could possibly get terrain editing in a future update

[sweet mauve]

hopefully

[mighty forge]

alongside removing assets from maps

would be interesting if they allow for primitives to have custom colour plus changable textures

dont want everything looking gray like the dust 2 map

[sweet mauve]

I dont really see the point in adding more hesco barriers to existing maps. Of course you could technically make new layouts on existing maps but they would look really bad imo since they would be relying on assets

yea agreed

[mighty forge]

tbh if this isnt available at launch ill just make a feature request in the portal discord server

quite alot of ripple effect employees in there

[agile frost]

oh boy I love portal, y'all more Peabody or Atlas people here?

[pseudo tide]

gimmie portal boss

[obsidian tide]

I need day 1
shooting range
dogfighting (PVP) with all planes
flight testing area with random shoting and demolishing objectives

[lone mantle]

is anyone else having issues where they crash out of a game mid start and that the players are floating?

[potent wedge]

I prefer P-body, personally.

[jade quarry]

so they said we will be able to scale objects in the map editor.

will we be able to scale player models? :o

turning players into giants for a boss fight type of game mode.

[mighty forge]

Probably not at launch

Could be a down the road thing

[copper relic]

I‘m thinking bf6 sl9 smg its Refer to kriss vector design？

[humble pilot]

Had the same thought... But at least we could manage to build a giant monster out of moving assets 😜

[grave forge]

i really love king of the hill in arma, hoping chatgpt will help me build a janky version of it

also a gamemode where you need to hold capture points to get credits so the team can buy weapons and vehicles, maybe even build more buildings and upgrade the capture points to make the income bigger

[tacit copper]

i cant wait 12 more days to finally get into the portal editor

2 more gruiling weeks

[small forge]

turning players into a giant for a power rangers fight type of game mode

[zinc holly]

Same man

“Also, in terms of scripting, we’ve added comments to the majority of all provided functions, which paired with autocompletion from a code editor, will help new scripters understand how to script their mods,” Black explains.

[pliant pelican]

Yes let's build operation metro

[steady laurel]

BF4 version please

BF3 version is rose tinted glasses, a lot less routes which leads to more stalemates

[lyric aurora]

I remember good game as "hidden" source, nobody plays it atm,good mod need rework in 2025

[unborn crystal]

Hi all

[jade quarry]

I just downloaded Vanilla Godot.

shit's impressive.

[lost parrot]

Who’s gonna make a operation metro map when portal comes out?

[jade quarry]

would you guys be interested in populating a vanilla Portal server (EU)?

[clever panther]

No, it’s a weird looking gun and is nothing like the Kris’s Vector, the KV9 is the Kriss Vector

[worthy pulsar]

is it possible were getting operation metro we need this to happen

[uncut moth]

As I was checking some vids, I didn't see an option to turn off skins per team. Anyone ? Tbh, i'd like to have the possibity to display default skins for ennemies and to go further anybody except your squad for quick visual ingame

[mighty forge]

doesnt seem like its an option

[uncut moth]

Hopped at least as hardcore would be pretty much hard when you have no possibility to see if you have an ennemy or an ally with the same skin

[fossil oracle]

Am sure skins are faction locked so enemies cant have same skins as allies but we still need confirmation from EA

[uncut moth]

Imagine how hard it will be to know every skin of every faction 😅

[fossil oracle]

That what i hated in 2042

[uncut moth]

You had an option of default skins in 2042 as i remember

[lyric aurora]

🫃 man i can't wait to enjoy the hell out of this game for about 2-3 weeks

does anyone know how often they'll be adding new maps?

[keen hill]

No idea. I assume official maps will be ones from 2042 first, including any remakes since those are probably going to require the least amount of work. I'm not totally against this. I would like to see more though, especially ones like Harvest Day and Heavy Metal from BC2. We'll have to see what happens though. Even though I'm glad community stuff will be available, having certain maps from past games would be infinitely better just because they are the actual maps and not just fan made recreations with limited tools.

[frail sparrow]

Portal in bf6 is just a cheap knockoff of BO7 custom game

[small forge]

you mean robox

[lyric aurora]

I can't understand why this wasn't included in BF6 like firestorm

and damavand peak

[pastel cosmos]

Yo somebody please help me get that new prototype gun plz

[lyric aurora]

Hopefully the Portal stuff will come in clutch re. custom maps

[sly pawn]

Hoping that Clivewell and Kysterama remaster AIX2 now

[mighty forge]

elaborate

[frail sparrow]

Both have guns ! And they both shoot bullets

do u guys think they fixed portal for leveling and unlocking the content ?

[fallow skiff]

https://youtu.be/6AaYcTMJmto?si=C3CctIeEzBnrlaKw

Our second episode of the Portalcast is up 👆

Any new Portal features that you guys are particularly excited about?

[slender rampart]

can't watch it now do u maybe know the answer to this #portal message

[fallow skiff]

Do you mean, how progression, unlocks and xp will work in the new Portal?

[slender rampart]

yes can i just open a lobby with bots and max lvl everything in couple matches or its not going to be like this any more?

[fallow skiff]

We're not sure yet. They've said that modes that are akin to official modes give proper xp etc, but if you put in a lot of custom stuff you'll be 'rewarded by time played'

We'll have to see how that pans out

[slender rampart]

can't watch it now it will be only for pc right ?

[fallow skiff]

What exactly?

[slender rampart]

the editor

[fallow skiff]

Pc, tablet and Phone I believe

But to make your life easier, I'd use a browser on pc 🙂

The more hard coding and using the spatial editor will probably only work, or work best, in a browser

Devs are quite active there as well

And a lot of fellow Portal nerds ofcourse 😎

[past forum]

I got excited over being able to disable Sprint 👀

[ember meteor]

Ya'll think there will be an infected mode in portal?

[fallow skiff]

That's already available in the current version of Portal. You can simply toggle a button to set sprint on or off. 👍
Going deeper, it's also possible to turn off crouch, prone, jump, aim down sights, or whatever input you desire to switch on or off.

[fallow skiff]

Definitely! Those modes arent that hard to build and were already available in the 2042 version of Portal.

[ember meteor]

I mean players being infected, not the a.i

[fallow skiff]

The new portal will definitely expand on the customization options regarding infection modes

You can set a team, with human players, with a infected loadout, hp, etc

[ember meteor]

What would be dope tho is if the battle royal map gets used as infected. With every few minutes the map closes and players get infected by a player

[fallow skiff]

Word is, we're getting the BR map in portal.
It's one of the things I'm most excited about

[ember meteor]

A good base for it would be is if every player starts off with a pistol or melee weapon and they have to scavenge for weapons to survive as the map gradually closes

[fallow skiff]

I'm imagining a large Arma like conquest mode
Or a loooong big ass Frontlines mode on the BR map 🤩

[fallow skiff]

We're getting expanded user interface options and the ability to place all sorts of icons in game, so picking up weapons, scavenging, will probably be possible

The spatial editor will come in handy for that

[ember meteor]

That'd be dope

We finally might get a good BF game after so many years

Although I still prefer bf4 till this day

[fallow skiff]

Bf4 is such a vibe ❤️

[ember meteor]

It seriously is

[jagged yacht]

BF4 feels more like BF2 than BF3 did IMO

[jade quarry]

• the ability to create more than two teams and set the modifiers for each team independently. I almost immediately thought about asymmetrical three-team game modes. ^^
• the AI and UI scripting
• the map editor with Godot

things I wish will be there would be placeable weapon crates like in BF4 or BF1 and the possibility to reference squads for custom logic.

oh, I just remembered we're getting a BR.

they could put the assets into Portal for use for other creations.

so the weapon crates are already there. :D

[hallow salmon]

Is it hypothetically possible to make say a desert "afhganistan" map? One side insurgents, another special forces. that'd be dope

[wet thicket]

I hope we get some armored transports instead of just buggy’s which get insta-killed 30 seconds into the match

[wet thicket]

I’ve been thinking about how battlefield 6 will connect to 2042, if they don’t retcon it.

In the final mission of the campaign, PAX armada strikes the remaining NATO member countries with nukes. Inciting a global winter and breaking countries apart.

Leaving space for private companies to step into the bigger picture. The global winter causes severe temperature changes and global famine.

After the incident, the PAX armada dispands into smaller factions. After the US has gathered enough remaining resources, they declare war to the remaining Russian forces. Leading to the torn world we see in 2042

I’m not really sure about this but had to give it a try

[fallow skiff]

Definitely possible

[uncut moth]

You forgot akangel and probably not about cataclism in bf6 as 2042 is still in good shape with a lot of maps. I think the planet transformation will arrive in 2125 or so as they wouldn't probably to build any new technologies as everything's nuked. Even the prototype which is the basic assault weapon in 2142 or mk4 which is the engineer 2nd rocklauncher in 2142 which means there will be far more work on développement of technologies.

In bf6 tho, as it's set years after bf4, they could bring back the titan mod as they were building the first version in the last expansion of 4. We could see it as a modern Shield's big flying ship we can see in marvel movies

[uncut moth]

Need to be able to build a 20 vs 20 vs 20 map ahah.

I just hope we could release special skins for for the infection instead of standard skins

[fallow skiff]

Hopefully theyll drop assett packs with zombie skins for example

[fallow skiff]

Or a bunch of snowy textures and effects in the holiday season 🎄

[uncut moth]

I know there are libs already done for weather in godot

[opaque cairn]

You know? or you heard someone say it once

[uncut moth]

I know as it's easily searchable on the net. After i don't know how it could be implemented but it's a possibility i guess (and hope as weather makes differences). I'd love to have night maps where equiping a light would help

[opaque cairn]

Yes i hope they have those features too.

[humble pilot]

Godot is most likely just used as an interface for editing the world objects but not much more. As the actual game engine is frostbite and not Godot, you can't apply features from pure Godot to battlefield without the battlefield team providing according translation/migration functionality... But who knows what they make possible 🤷‍♂️

[raven olive]

I'd like to try this idea on Portal. Does anyone knows the correct values for flag captures? Times, etc?

[wispy dirge]

Hey guys quick question, why do people choose to pre-order video games as early as possible, even though pre-ordering closer to launch offers the same bonuses and guarantees a copy? Since pre-ordering early means spending money sooner and losing potential interest earnings from your bank account, what motivates people to purchase in advance rather than waiting until right before release?

[opaque cairn]

just watch a movie + go to sleep, its not your money, Everything will be ok

[wispy dirge]

Genuinely curious, having testimonies would greatly help, especially with my job

[opaque cairn]

Ok fair enough, just thought you were getting worked up about something that will never affect you. Its just excitement, hype, investment on an experience they want to see more of. I didn't preorder but i see Gofund me campaigns like Kickstarter and preorders have merged into one idea and some people see it as 'supporting' the developers

The other 90% are just regarded

[wispy dirge]

That's not really my question.
My question is why pre-order 30 days in advance when you can pre-order 1 day before launch.
You get the same bonuses, but pre-ordering late will make you earn more money since you keep your money on your bank account for longer --> More interest earnings.

[opaque cairn]

I think the final line answered this

[cedar mango]

Yo are we still not pre-ordering?

[opaque cairn]

Also you'd be saving like 50c

[hollow dirge]

if u wanna be minmaxing ur money just dont buy the game at all

[wispy dirge]

if you keep 70 dollars for 1 month on a bank account with 3% interest it saves you 1,15 dollars.

Yes it's "nothing", but it's also nothing to just delay your order. So it's "free money" just by not clicking the "pre-order" button too soon

[opaque cairn]

yeah, i dont care. good luck with the report

[twin coral]

Idk ,this one is free "update" ..... So they will charge for battle pass and "dlcs" too?

[uncut moth]

Seems weather will be beta testing in the first season for snow

[opaque cairn]

Very much doubt you'll be able to do it yourself on any map. That's a huge texture job

If it were rain, falling snow or night mode i would agree with you

[solar cobalt]

I'm pretty sure it will be like 2042. Maps, vehicles and weapons are all free. Some cosmetics are not - either purchased directly or in the paid/premium battle pass tiers. Some weapons and vehicles are in the battle pass but always in the free tiers.

[uncut moth]

Well nowadays there are no more fixed assets for weather. You can generate realtime snow dust or whatever and it will freely goes with the différents assets (buildings, barriers etc) of the map. So we can only have faith they implement this kind of weather.

[hollow phoenix]

Battlefield 1 maps ??

[uncut moth]

Tbh I don't need an evolution overtime on the map. Just set a schedule (dawn/day/night) and a sky (clear/rainy/snowy/sandstorm) and let it go with it. Even on timebased intensity is okay to me

[jagged yacht]

because I will forgor

[opaque cairn]

They're not doing real time snow that builds up. Crazy work. They're retexturing + working on footsteps sfx and id say that's about it. Id be surprised if even footprints worked

They're not turning on particles to make a snow version. That's insane. Its a texture job.

AS much as i love these ideas and i want all of these options, its just a bit of a stretch and vague promises at the moment

[gritty jewel]

Are there plans to allow actual code in portal? Instead of just UE style block & subroutines?

[wispy dirge]

Would be kind of dangerous for the developers

[gritty jewel]

That's what I told my friend who was asking. Also dangerous for malicious servers tryna run crypto mining on the low low ☠️

[opaque cairn]

High iq xp farming

[wispy dirge]

Nvidia Battlefield 6 driver is out

[fallow skiff]

There's a new part in the portal editor that's called 'scripts'. We're hoping for actual text based coding there, possibly based on GDScript or python

[small forge]

is it possible to make mmorpg using portal

like wow

[fallow skiff]

lol, maybe something that looks like it, but that will a lot of work.
Also, all your progress would delete if you go off the wow server. Mmorpgs might not be the best fit as a genre.

[opaque cairn]

I would be happy to see and try your attempt. More power to ya dude

I think you'd be better off learning a game engine + 3d creation, but, i think game creators/mods are a cool way to start too

[small forge]

thanks I've godot downloaded and chatgp subscription

chatgpt plus

[opaque cairn]

two great tools, I use Blender a lot for planning out ideas

and gpt is just a handy assistant

[misty kestrel]

Will bf6 be on xbox cloud gaming?

Bf6

[lyric aurora]

Those California maps are apparently very bland. I wonder what else they're cooking

[hallow salmon]

what are the chances of us being able to create a custom map as big as the br map? Can 128 players happen in portal?

[past quail]

I don't see why not allow to play with 128 in portal maps

[opaque cairn]

i don't think we're even gonna be able to use/edit the full map THEY created in portal, but i hope i'm wrong. Seems like a lot of assumptions by the community

[pliant pelican]

Battleroyal in portal would be awesome

[hallow salmon]

Hb being able to control what skins players wear?

[opaque cairn]

I think that will be a feature. What will be interesting is if they try to sell you the "Battlefield Era' skins that were free in the previous version of portal

[sly pawn]

Lua would be nice.

[sly pawn]

Gadget that changes skin of who you used it on/shot with it or Big Head for 30 seconds.

[jagged yacht]

I don’t think so for the same reason Fortnite doesn’t. It minimizes the value of being able to sell someone a skin

[odd cliff]

Im gonna create a 1 to 1 version of dday

AT EASE! Alright men listen up! we got 10 days until deployment! If you haven't read up on your BF6 blue books on tactics and comms, do it time now, at the same time you better know your predeployment checklist by heart. It's about to get real! I don't want any sick call rangers the second we hit the tarmac, your ass is going and on point! Now with that said I need all D-Boys, SEALS, Rangers, and all 13 series on deck with comms ready. Move your teams gentlemen, take charge, we got a bunch of new recruits that have no idea what's about to go down. Hit the points like, shoot, move, and communicate. Im up, he sees me, im down. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Pie those damn corners! I see too many wall huggers, corner jackers, pocket jockies, expect that wall will blow and put you on your 4th point of contact. Now make sure your tech is up to date, your PMCS is checked off, rucks packed, and you've got your mind right. 10 Days boots on ground. FALLOUT!

[solar beacon]

does anybody know the exact time when bf6 will be released?

[mighty forge]

JavaScript most likely

https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/how-battlefield-6-s-portal-lets-you-build-your-own-war

“Also, in terms of scripting, we’ve added comments to the majority of all provided functions, which paired with autocompletion from a code editor, will help new scripters understand how to script their mods,” Black explains.

Doesn’t explicitly mention JavaScript but it is just trust me

[mighty forge]

Not if it’s sandboxed

[lyric aurora]

Are you gonna be playing hardcore mode? If so I will have a team that’s gonna be working like this. lol that’s what we did in bf4. (USAF) hardcore server browser. It was all vets/ active duty! Hopefully we can get a server browser where we do that in this new one!!! When we had squad names like alpha, bravo, Charlie, delta, echo. The corresponding team would hold a flag(alpha squad) b ( bravo squad) etc. it was sick man!!! I hope we can change the name of the squads!!! It makes it so much easier to play real deep competitive games!!

[dawn plinth]

I'm not sure about that, if we're going to use Godot, it's probably the GDScript language

They also support VisualScript, C#, C++ and GDNative

GDNative is a Godot-specific technology that lets the engine interact with native shared libraries at run-time. You can use it to run native code without compiling it with the engine.

Which they have bindings for: D, Kotlin, Nim, Python and Rust

[mighty forge]

"JsValue" https://www.reddit.com/r/Battlefield/comments/1nthtdu/all_action_handlers_value_getters_ui_functions/

also found a portal action called "JsAction" in the files

GDScript cant be embedded into frostbite since it cant be ran standalone

JS can and is, since you can find Mozillas JS runtime strings in the games executable

[dawn plinth]

Oh, I didn't know about these events, nice

[tulip widget]

Absolutely, hardcore all the way 💪🏼 💥 I’m down to lead a new army or join whatever groups are all for turning this into a milsim. Fill me in! Just like old times my brothers 🫡 I know the mods will be insane!! 🤯 We can literally re-create real life events from the terrain to the skins. We back boys!

[mighty forge]

yep

using javascript over code blocks should be a way better dev experience too

[dawn plinth]

I would prefer other language, but it's ok

[mighty forge]

its probably the most used language, lemme google that one sec

https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology/

yeh

[tulip widget]

We need Afghanistan battles from OEF. Even a game mode to either kill or capture a single priority target 💀

[dawn plinth]

I wonder if we can send these events to another server, so I could implement something like Procon Layer from older games

[mighty forge]

probably not

its likely heavily sandboxed

[dawn plinth]

sad

if we can't use fetch to send requests from JS, we're "doomed"

[mighty forge]

bfportal.gg theres a discord with dice/ripple effect devs that read feature requests

so you could feature request rcon support or something close to it

ah nvm looks like someone alreadt did

[dawn plinth]

I didn't know about this discord, ty

[mighty forge]

yep, a good discord for people interested in portal

[tulip widget]

Ya’ll doing Gods work, I respect all the moders 🫡

[mighty forge]

my main 2 wishes were for a flat map and text scripting and it seems we'll get both

so now my wishes are for assignable textures

[tulip widget]

As of October 2025, there is no official confirmation that Battlefield 6 will allow assignable or custom textures in its Portal mode. The expansion of Portal's creative tools focuses on other features, and a lack of support for custom assets is a plausible design choice to prevent players from having to download large amounts of data to join a server.

[dawn plinth]

Yeah, the RCON-like support would be insane here

It doesn't prevent players to join the server, only if they are impatient. We had these in Counter-Strike back in the day, which shouldn't be an issue for OG players

[tulip widget]

The toolkit will allow for custom maps to be built by moving, scaling, and duplicating existing in-game objects.
It will feature visual scripting to create custom game modes and adjust rules.
While map layouts and mode rules can be customized, there has been no mention of importing new textures or other custom assets. But I’m sure it will be implemented sooner or later.

[dawn plinth]

If they don't, just increase our "texture inventory"

like, allow us to use texture from campaign

The prison from the campaign could be used to recreate Operation Locker, for example

The metro mission from campaign could be use to recreate Operation Metro

[mighty forge]

i just need the ability to assign textures from the game onto the primitives

dont want maps to look gray

[dawn plinth]

yeah

[mighty forge]

tbh would be hard to do since it would be hard to get the IPs of your hosted server

they'd probably have to build some proxy service

still need to see what object limits there are for maps, but seeing the portal footage it seems like it should be enough

also im assuming with the flat map, that we'll see an increased memory budget

[dawn plinth]

I mean, the Portal server would be hosted by DICE, but the event data would be sent to an external server

Just to allow users to inject their plugins outside for the Portal

[mighty forge]

i was thinking it be more like Portal Server -> DICE RCON Proxy -> You

[dawn plinth]

would be awesome

but if they don't do it, at least let us be able to build it ourselfs

[mighty forge]

yeh

even webhooks would be awesome

[dawn plinth]

YES

[mighty forge]

lemme make a feature request one sec lol

[dawn plinth]

I never asked about that, but does Portal support spectators?

Would be useful to identify cheat suspects and report them (to external services and DICE)

[mighty forge]

i saw a spectator mode for br, idk if its accessible through portal

but it could be?

[pliant pelican]

Would be cool to have spectator back

[distant lagoon]

Quick Question: For everyone on PC buying BF6, IS steam to go-to? Should I be buying it somewhere else or is Steam good?

[slate ruin]

Switching to steam over the ea app at this point

[small forge]

that reason is a joke

[opaque cairn]

It would be full of porn + other stuff day 1. Custom assets is never happening. But you should be able to apply their textures to objects they provide, that's pretty basic

[unreal cedar]

We gonna get some more BF6 channels soon?

All I see is Portal

Would be nice for a general BF6 chat unless I’m being blind

Hello, when will the Battlefield 6 servers open for those who purchased the game? Is there a beta before October 10?

[radiant harbor]

No BETA. Global Release on 10th.

[high steeple]

No beta isn't there an early release for pre orders

[tired basalt]

no official info but i think its 3 days early

nvm no early access i just double checked

[tame wyvern]

I preorder i want to play this weekend baleez

[tired basalt]

i want to hop in now

best option is to keep watching BF6 videos on YT

[tame wyvern]

How do they play early?

[tired basalt]

beta videos 🙂 also content creators had a closed test for the new maps

[tame wyvern]

I registered for battlefield labs, no benefits

[tired basalt]

same, they dont like me

but i think its because of where i live. labs are only available in europe and north america

[tame wyvern]

They don’t like us

[small forge]

check your bank account
it should be 1k$ already there

[spiral oasis]

if we were in previous beta are we automatically in the new one ?

also really interest by Portal can we play on it during Betas ?

[tired basalt]

What beta?

Game is out in 8 days

No more beta

[small forge]

I bet they gonna do gamma in 2 days

[jade quarry]

yeah, there's no reason for another Open Beta.

[jade quarry]

BF6 will be out on October 10.

10/10

There going to be a patch on release day?

Any preload?

[jade quarry]

preload is tomorrow.

and Day 1 patch.

BF6*

[ember meteor]

My brain just fathom the stupidity of people, why say you're not gonna preorder the game if you're gonna get it either way

Most big brain thing I've ever seen going around

these are the same people that then just judge u for preordering with YOUR OWN money as well lol

Hi! So, I’m trying to make myself a 2042 server with ai so I can do some practice stuff, but for some reason, I can seem to find the option to add ai bots. I’m on xbox. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

[sterile citrus]

So I played bf 1 and 5 it was very fun but I know 10 of October bf 6 will come out so I'm just going to wait till it gets a very good discount

[jade quarry]

where are you looking?

[finite spade]

solo/co op option is the ai option my friend

[candid ember]

I hope BF6 has AFK XP servers

[signal lily]

when can we pre download

[pastel lava]

three or two days before the release I think

[signal lily]

I seen something the other day that said the 3rd

[wheat thistle]

It’s today in a few hours

[cunning basalt]

yup just downloading now cant wait for the 10th :)

When is that pre-load

[dawn plinth]

I hope they allow us to use SP textures in Portal, I don't mind if they add it later, but add it

[zealous venture]

Already started on Steam

Actually, lemme look at the preorder stuff first

[hybrid hawk]

butterfield 😭

[weak oriole]

Still waiting. Also playing BL4 while I preload BF6.
#server-news message

[sudden wharf]

I thought they gave a discount to those who participated in the labs

[weak oriole]

Can't comment on that. But EA PLAY did have a promo where you could subscribe for a month for 1$, and once subscribed you could purchase BF6 at 10% off, then cancel your ea play subscription.

[ember meteor]

Will it still charge you?

[left socket]

Ho sbagliato, Battlefield così va meglio?

[weak oriole]

Yea I paid the 1$, then saved 10% on the bf6 game.

foud how to update preload

[rich wraith]

I call it that too. I have a BF youtube channel im cooking to that effect xD

Portal though

anyone in to chat about that?

I'm hungry for custom map boundary servers and hardcore modes featuring more gameplay mechanics

Godot plugins are supposed to work. Any specific ones that anyone knows might come in handy? Im trying to make a list for launch to go in strong

I can think of one cool idea already. The modal window plugin to allow for in world text typography and placement for immersive server instructions without popups

dont know if its possible off the rip but its a stock godot plugin

[median estuary]

Butterflied.. sounds tasty

[solar lichen]

Hey guys, don't know it its the right place to ask.
I had Battlefield games on EA app since Bad Company 2. Also had the labs access running on Steam. But then again was playing BF2042 over EA app, done the missions for BF6 skins etc.
Im preparing to buy the game and now I don't know if I should buy it from Steam or EA app. Does it matter, is everything synced with the EA account either way or am I about to loose some stuff if I "choose incorectly"?
I would like to buy it over Steam this time tho. Like the platform more so...

[rich wraith]

steam will let you use your username from steam

[ruby falcon]

You can link EA and Steam account

Just do that before buying on Steam, but maybe afterwards is fine too: https://myaccount.ea.com/am/ui/connected-accounts

Starting the beta from Steam lead to the game using my Steam name, but in the background it used my EA account

Does that help, @solar lichen?

[mossy lark]

Bf1942 on portal bf6?

Bf vietnam on portal?

[hollow veldt]

Probably everything bro

[hollow cradle]

Damn, me want Vietnam so bad.

[dusty snow]

How deep will the Systems go. I have an idea in mind but for that to work i will need to be able to change the speed ppl can move at

[polar thorn]

I just need a light vehicle only server with all maps :D

[exotic reef]

im sure someone will make it along with air superiority and only tanks

i expect to see derby type stuff and races made as well

maybe fan favorite maps from other games

[sour oracle]

Guys I have one question, with the standard edition of EA play the one that cost 5,99 EUR, do we get to try the game day 1? I read on the internet that it gives you a 10 hour trial + I get the 10% off to buy any EA games so I was wondering if that's the case.

Also in order to recieve the 10% off on Steam I need to buy the EA play though Steam or I can play it anywhere?

[prime frost]

Hey Guys.. some Guys in my Platoon asking for Day1 Portal Server? Can we Open a Server on First day?

[humble pilot]

I guess so

[echo flicker]

bs, already downloaded it on friday evening when it unlocked

[sly terrace]

guys, will the commander skin be like the old chinese engineer in bf4? like it seems to be a weird redisng

[south mist]

It was available to download days ago…..

[hallow salmon]

can we customize every class's face?

[minor ibex]

There are some minor differences but the character wearing the outfit is slimmer

Which makes it look off

[sly terrace]

i mean the gas mask looks awful

[torn raptor]

I want to refund my pre-ordered Battlefield 6 to purchase it again on Steam. However, EA HELP isn't working properly. Moreover, the LIVE CHAT won't load. How can I resolve this issue?

[minor ibex]

Are you talking about the image in 2042 or the other promotional image that shows the 3D model?

[sly terrace]

the igame

of 2042

NOO

i mean the 3d model

[minor ibex]

Oh

Yeah the two look really different for some reason

My theory is maybe that the model in the 2042 image is the male version in the one in the promotional image is the female version

Because they look like different models

[sly terrace]

so, the image where u can see it completely isnt the right one? because the image in the battlepass is another differnte

[minor ibex]

I’m saying that skins might have two versions (masculine/feminine) and the one in the battlepass is the masculine version and the one in the 3D image is the feminine version

Either that or it’s a lighting/perspective thing

[glossy shore]

not long to go ladies n gents

[minor ibex]

It would be cool if you could do a series of different objectives like operations

Like a rush mcom segment followed by a breakthrough segment

Or even unique objectives like having to damage a generator until it is destroyed in order to open up the next area of the map

[ember meteor]

When do you guys think bf6 will go on sale after the release?

[grave mirage]

maybe a year because there's so much hype

it's gonna sell like hot cakes and retain the player base so it'll be quite the wait

[ember meteor]

Damn

[ember meteor]

Guess I'll just preorder it then

[grave mirage]

you could try subbing to ea play for a month and then use the 10 percent discount for bf6
