Why though? What difference does it really make? Are they worried people won't play online or worried about their precious shortcut bundles? It's just a game & games are supposed to be fun, they obviously don't want people to have too much fun. Reminds me of the time I got kicked out of a casino for winning.

Simple solution, different XP rates for bot difficulty levels, 100% for hard, 60% for medium & 20% for easy. I suppose for progression (1 hard difficulty bot kill / 2 medium bot kills / 3 easy bot kills) could count as 1 mastery kill. In portal, XP could be just earned over time spent in game (match bonus), then settings don't matter.

In the state of MP right now, I prefer playing against Bots. They at least PTFO and aren'T only standing around in the nowhere with a sniper rifle in hand. RIght now it feels you'Re screwed more than ever to PTFO. Constantly being bombed sdown by tanks, AA and helicopters while trying to cap.
Offense focused infantry play style is punished hard in this game. Everybody just farms kills for weapon progression and don't give a damn about ops.

    @Lunatlque That would be nice for them to actually tell us what is going on with a MAJOR issue they advertised as a selling point.

@TheKIACowboy I disagree. People paid their hard earned money (for the sake of argument I'm assuming it was hard earned) to play a game based on advertised features. To nerf it in order to sell a product later is theft. At the very least it would be bait and switch.

  @Kurohebi I'm trying to find the advertisement that says kill ai cannon fodder bots and get all unlocks. I can't find it.

    @WienerBeard No need to be disingenuous. It was stated that progression in Portal would be carried over in the rest of the game. By virtue of you being able set the AI to "cannon fodder bots" means you can get all unlocks in that manner if you so desire. I didn't make the game. I merely bought it based on what they said it would be.
