Ai count in solo/Co-op Conquest

I've noticed and plenty of others that the Ai count in conquest has been lowered to 32 players total instead of 64 in conquest solo/co-op (normally it's 64 for me I play on PS4 and am not sure if it's different on PS5 and series and PC) ,but the fact that it's 32 players now total in bot count can make the map feel very empty and the main thing you'll be able to notice is the vehicles which I have noticed the bots are using a bit more properly and the enemy team isn't capped on what vehicles they can use anymore (previously they would be only able to use the ones that were extra as they always let the player have one for themselves even tho there is no actual player on the enemy team as it's solo/co-op and not pvp) so the enemy no longer having that cap on what they can use is a good thing glad to see more vehicles on the field for the bots although sadly my Ally bots still don't have a toggle option  for themselves being able to use any vehicle on my side even if it's a slot only meant for players to use. But anyways the 32 total bots really makes conquest quiet and feels very underwhelming you'll be feeling pretty lonely running around now looking for enemy infantry and it's a shame. I just really hope it can be brought back to 64 ai  total  in a patch as with the vehicle improvements for ai it will make solo/co-op more alive and enjoyable

  • @Deranged_Broken I noticed this too, what the hell were they thinking? Why not just give us a slider so that we can decide how many bots we can have instead of them forcing lower numbers? Thank God Portal bots still work but I hope they reverse this change.

    @Deranged_Broken If you select Solo/co-op and a 64-player variant it is actually a 64-player match. AOW is 16v16 for some dumb reason. Just tested it.
  • @Anobix I appreciate the help but I'm assuming you're on the 128 player next gen/PC version of the game as you said the 64 player variant working out properly but since I'm on ps4 I only have access to the solo/co-op 64player versions and not the extended ones so sadly conquest is stuck on the low player count while at least breakthrough still works fine with all bots present unless Im missing something in the menu. it's a shame this affects solo/co-op I also noticed that when doing portal matches solo with PvE only one team of bots is allowed to use all vehicles without the leave one available at all times for the player restriction they had normally while the other is stuck with the usual only the extra slots that aren't the ones specifically meant for players available in use and also the team that still has the restriction ends up with less bots in the team even if you put the max amount on both ( for me it's 30 and 30 per team not sure how PS5 and series/ PC is)

    Not for me. I'm on Ps5 and also in Solo/co-op 64 players variant AI bots count is 30 players (16 vs 16).

    In that conditions conquest is unplayable, it's hard to find infantry enemies.

    I really hope that devs bring back 64bots.

    Now the only way to enjoy the game in solo mode is in Portal custom servers, but there you won't be able to unlock stuff. 

    I really like this game, although devs continue to ignore solo players base...but sometimes I think it'a a mess.

  • By reducing the number of AI soldiers, they succeeded in fulfilling their dream of a great e-sports game, 16 vs 16 CSGO:BF mod

    It's weird... in Solo/Co-op mode, default Conquest is 16 vs 16 but Breakthrough is 32 vs 32. In 64player Conquest mode it's 16 vs 16, while Breakthrough is 32 vs 32.

    Did devs really want to donwgrade Ai bots only in Conquest? Why not in Breakthrough?? Maybe that is an error the devs did not notice. I hope they will fix that in may with the next patch.

  • @Deranged_Broken Hope that's a bug and it will return to normal AI numbers. You can't really call it "Conquest 64" when only 32 soldiers are involved, right!?
