Theyve been drip feeding those Portal guns to AOW as "Vault Weapons" - basically those old BF3 and BF4 missions to unlock weapons.
But either way you wanna play Portal over AOW anyways. Those custom 128 player Rush modes are the best aspect of the game.

The new Orbital is actually a really good map now. Only tried Conquest on it but its cool. People actually fighting in and around the tunnel like its BF3 again.
Renewal is cool too but they could have done more to the map rework. The north section of the grass area is still pretty open.
Both of these are better than the weak Kaleidoscope rework last season.

BATTLEFIELD BRIEFING - DEVELOPMENT UPDATE, NOVEMBER 2022
TLDR:- Coming to Game Pass in December, free trials on all platforms.
- Year 2 / Post-Season 4 content announced,
- Classes introduced and specialists reworks in Season 3 (deploy menu looks similar to Overwatch with specialists organized under different classes), All classes get to use all weapons and gear but there are class specific benefits for different weapon classes and equipment (ex. sniper class + sniper specialist allows for better sniper handling / perks).
- More Vault Weapons (XM8, A91, and "more promised"),
- Manifest and Breakaway ("biggest overhaul yet", "new ice and snow shaders") are the map reworks in Season 3,
- Same content offering for Season 3: 1 new map, 1 new specialist, etc. New map is supposed to be smaller and infantry focused.

Went back for a few rounds after MW2 last night. It's looking good. I'm glad to hear that they are digging their heels to provide another year of support.
If we can get to the baseline of what it was supposed to be at launch, and start ramping up, weapons, operators, and maps, then the game will be great. BF2 made a turn around from it's sorry state, and so did BFV before they cut the cord.
Hopefully the addition to gamepass will breathe new life into it. It's unfortunate what happened to Hazard Zone, but it would be nice if ti could be revamped and made F2P, but that might be a tall order and one that'll be on the back burner if it ever comes to that point. I wonder if they can port BFV assets?

I think if they gave us some lore it could work well. The fact that the breh from the Wire died sucks, cause he was supposed to be the face of the story.The XM8 in a 2042 setting.I hate the vault guns with a passion but I understand why they’re present. Good progress, I hope they can correct the boat.
World's gone to hell and the operators are basically mercenaries fighting parallel to the US/Russia so they just use whatever they can grab their hands on/ use what US/Russia gives them.

Its a shame they fukked this game up so badly cause this wouldve been a great setting for a great BF game.
The near future setting + climate change + proxy wars w/ no pats
They dropped the ball on the lore but the the studio lead of the new BF single player seems to be very committed on fixing that. I’m on the fence with the No pats, I get the story they were trying for but I always felt Battlefield is pretty much a world war without nukes.
I miss faction specific weapons and vehicles, it gives you more immersion in the game. The US/Russia/China dynamic in BF4 was different.

Should I buy this or what? Heard many bad takes on it when it first came out.
Has it been patched.
