Battlefield 2042 was one of the most highly anticipated titles of the year 2021 and so was its much-hyped Portal mode. But the game’s launch a little over a week ago left many fans of the franchise utterly disappointed with various aspects of the game.

Similar results applied to almost everything the game offers, the brand-new portal mode that was supposed to be a key selling point for the game was rather a letdown for the community. Despite DICE’s efforts to promote it, the fans recently took to Reddit to share their frustration regarding the mode.

The mode which was initially intended to take players on a nostalgic journey through the franchise’s previous titles is nowhere close to what the fans had expected.
