Today, I played the Conquest of the Ages playlist on Battlefield 2042 Portal, and it was amazing to see Noshar Canals and Caspian Border in the new Frostbite engine. The last time I played Battlefield 3 Conquest on Noshar Canals was on 5/12/2013, and Caspian Border was on 5/3/2013. That was 8 years ago. Life was very different back then. Battlefield was very different back then.

To be able to play these two maps again in Portal mode feels unreal. The feeling of nostalgia when I saw this for the very first time is unreal. Running through the center of the map brings back memories of the countless hours spent on TDM. I learned to play Battlefield on this map. Playing as a support player in TDM was the way to go back then. Without this map, I probably never would have gotten into Battlefield.
DICE has something special on their hands with Portal. I hope they do the right thing, and support this mode for the foreseeable future.
