The fan-favorite title Battlefield Bad Company 2 also makes its grand return, though not in the way most fans likely expected. Considering the game originally launched all the way back in 2002, Ripple Effect has done some updating to the maps including rebuilding all assets in the Frostbite Engine as well as adding in destruction which wasn’t there originally. Battlefield 1942 sees the return of Battle of the Bulge and El Alamein.
Whether creating or playing custom experiences from Portal, Ripple Effect has brought back 6 classic maps from past Battlefield games in addition to the 7 as part of the new game. It is here where players can build their own custom game modes and share them once ready. For those who want a more robust list to pick from, there’s a browse option complete with filters to help narrow down the content that is returned.įinally, the third option is Battlefield Builder. The next is Community Experiences, which are a set of rotating game modes made by the community and highlighted by DICE. The first is called Official Experiences, which are custom game modes built by DICE. When accessing Battlefield Portal, players will have three options to pick from. Still, there’s plenty to see and do on day one, so here’s a round-up of everything fans can expect to see. While Battlefield Portal is a very robust mode out of the box, it utilizes the live service model which means players can expect plenty more content and updates continuing to arrive long after launch.

Unlike other map editors or player-built experiences, Battlefield Portal gives players complete control over their custom mode thanks to a powerful Rules Editor that takes advantage of Visual Scripting. Through Battlefield Portal, players can mix and match content, highlighted by the reveal trailer where knife-wielding WW2 soldiers go up against a team of modern combat medics only armed with defibrillators. The Battlefield franchise has always been very community-focused and this mode takes things a step further. The mode lets players build new content not just from Battlefield 2042, but previous games in the franchise like Bad Company 2, Battlefield 3, as well as Battlefield 1942. The recently renamed Ripple Effect Studios revealed that Portal is essentially a community-driven sandbox experience where players can build and share custom experiences. During EA Play 2021, DICE finally revealed the mysterious third Battlefield 2042 mode called Portal.
