Clearly if all things were equal the Abrams would blow the Tigers to pieces purely because the Abrams armour is so far advanced I doubt the Tigers could even penetrate the M1’s armour. But it’ll be balanced in such a way that they can do damage to each other.

Add in the fact that Nexus is a machine not a human and it could be a decent trial by combat that!

Christ just give full modding support, apart from being afraid of amateurs making a better game than the professionals what are they afraid of ?
Exploits being found and making it easier for cheaters. And selling DLC.
Makes little difference to games with the frostbite engine, there's generally cheats knocking about a day or 2 after the "beta" gets released. With the bad company 2 beta there was a hacker on day one.
Knowing dice, **** all. They'll just stick to that retarded report system from the last few games that seems to do absolutely nothing.

Sweet **** all. Better to go in with that expectation than think it'll be a level playing field.
Im in for knife Vs repair tool fights though. I'll be honest 2042 in general has zero hype from me, Portal however has definitely piqued my interest.

The servers you can make in the portal do give you basic admin features to kick / ban.

If only we could have dedicated servers and admins that could deal with the cheats, like we had with 1942 and BF2, as for exploits, they would be found and patched much quicker if we had a modding community, the DLC for 1942 still sold well despite modding, infact some mods required the DLC
Also I doubt BF2 would have been as great had Dice not bought Trauma studios who made the Desert Combat mod for 1942 which basically paved the way for BF2
Meh, it's going to be a gimmick and people will soon get bored of it

Well, they've added kick and ban to the list of portal commands. I'm hoping the portal servers are up 24/7 because i really can't see a differance between portal & RSP, and portal has a **** ton of options above the old procon. I really think this could be the return of the BF community............
Be great if it did but it may just be like the community servers in that when they empty they shut down.
That's awesome
Only way to keep them up permanently will be rental servers, don't see any mention of that yet. Doesn't seem DICE are interested in that option. Which is a shame, if they are running population bots then it would be really good. No more needing to seed your server like johnny no mates waiting for others to rock up to the party, just leave it running.

Sounds like once you've made the server config, you get a server code that anyone can use, so theoretically anyone can keep the server up. Need more information on how many admins and level of admins you can have. But it sounds a big step in the right direction.

New JF vid seems to confirm anti-cheat is in the works. Perhaps, I'm taking too much from the video, but at least it was mentioned.
