Scroll down or select the Community tab on the Main Menu to see a selection of Community Experiences; think of these as Portal’s “modes,” which can either be modified versions of traditional Multiplayer modes, such as Conquest and Domination, or completely unique ways to play Battlefield 6.[/p][p]What you see on this initial Portal screen are “Featured Community Experiences,” player-made creations curated by Battlefield developers based on the Experience’s exceptional creativity. If you want to search for more, then you can use the “Search” button to go through the in-game Community Experience Library.[/p][p][img src="https://drop-assets.ea.com/images/8VIL5L5IZbJu8NKvIHwle/db32a64e5e40daaada452127d90bf1e9/BF6_PortalFront_ExperienceBrowser_16.jpg?im=AspectCrop=%2816,9%29,xPosition=0.5,yPosition=0.5"][/img][/p][p]There are multiple ways to sort through the Community Experience Library, including by “Most Popular” or “Featured,” and you can also filter experiences by the following parameters: [/p]
- [p]Tags: A collection of pre-defined words that automatically get applied to Community Experiences based on their settings.[/p][/*]
- [p]Maps & Modes: Allows you to see Community Experiences that are on an exact mode, such as Multiplayer offerings like Breakthrough or Custom modes, or a defined map or maps, such as Operation Firestorm and Siege of Cairo[/p][/*]
- [p]Search by Word: Find Community Experiences with a name of description containing the word you specify.[/p][/*]
- [p]Experience Code: Most helpful when you know the exact Community Experience you want to play. This string of characters is directly associated with one Community Experience; type that in here to find only that experience.[/p][/*]

First is the Server Name and Description; make sure these are as accurate as possible within the designated word count, as this will drive players to your server. Next are optional Welcome and Periodic Messages, which will appear when a player joins your server and periodically during the match respectively. [/p][p]The most complicated hosting steps are inputting a password and choosing to host a persistent server. A password is recommended if you want to play a Community Experience with friends only. Otherwise, anyone who searches for your hosted experience can join. As for persistent servers, this option allows players to still search for - and play - on your Community Experience server even if you are offline.[/p]Choosing Your Portal Experience - Full Progression vs. Limited Progression

However, not all Portal Community Experiences grant the exact same amount of XP as Multiplayer.[/p][p]When selecting a Portal Community Experience, it will either be labelled as “Verified” or “Custom” depending on what its creator chose when creating the experience.[/p][p]If a Verified Portal Community Experience is chosen, then anyone who plays this experience will earn the following XP and progress at exactly the same amounts as they would in a normal Multiplayer match:[/p]- [p]Career XP - Match Completion and Win Bonus[/p][/*]
- [p]Hardware XP[/p][/*]
- [p]Mission and Assignments Progress[/p][/*]
