TWL Competitive Update

Since release we've been hard at work in BF6 Portal to create the experience the community wants which is as-close-to-vanilla maps/spawns/assets/loadouts as possible.

2v2 Tanks as the Test Bed

Our early realizations in portal helped us understand that 2v2 tanks was the first portal experience we should be focused on largely because we knew it would deviate as little as possible from the vanilla experience and we also felt it had less 'moving parts' to build allowing us to zero in on the gameplay. While it has turned out to be sligtly more complicated than initially expected, the efforts of uberdubersoldat have more than doubled our productivity in this area, and we are now releasing the codes for the experiences and running test scrimages to look for areas in which we can improve gameplay.

Conquest, 8v8/10v10/12v12 and More...

We're all excited for 10v10 and thrilled to see several teams ready to go. We think we've got most of the BF6 portal stuff figured out to do this with one exception: there is no existing vanilla 'template' we can copy and adapt, which means we have to make our own. Essentially, we already have a logic base in the works. We are just waiting on feedback from 2v2 Tanks testing to get the greenlight for setting up Conquest. The main difficulty will likely come from ensuring that the capture points are as close to vanilla as possible. More updates soon.

The More Part

We are also working on new game modes with the intention of expanding the scope of what's possible in competitive play. That means new ways to win, new ways to lose, and new ways to screw up in utterly fantastic ways. Stay tuned for more.

Open-Sourcing Portal Experiences:

We think this is in the best interest of the community: announcing that our competitive portal experiences on github and welcoming everyone to checking it out, submitting PRs and/or forking as you see fit. Stay tuned as we set up our repos!

Battlegrounds to Strengthen Your Tank Crew

2v2 tanks is now ready to test. We have created a special group for this as well as a #battlefield-6-portal channel to collect ideas, help and feedback. We believe there's an opportunity that could both provide tank-v-tank battles for your clan mates and allow us to tune the BF6 Portal code during test to open up the ladder.

Please ask your tankers if they'd like to sign up for 2v2 Tanks, we'd love to provide them with combat and get some feedback in return - have you spent time battling in tanks? We're finding it more interesting/nuanced than we thought! Thumbs up this post if you're willing/able to @mentioned for testing.
