@united_we_ride"Look at Venice unleashed for BF3, there is a couple of good mods for that that adds bots."
Huh? What are you talking about here.... there are (legal) bot mods for BF3 that will allow me to play on all those maps by myself?....I didn't think that was possible, can you provide a link?
EDIT** - never mind, I looked it up and it's a bit of a hassle since you first need to have a dedicated server to run things on before you even consider installing VU, and then the bot mod for VU.
But yes Venice Unleashed is legal and you require BF3 legally to play.
Venice unleashed comes with 120hz 60hz and 30hz servers that you just click to run.
just gotta create a folder structure in your documents folder for it.
- BigShottt3 years agoSeasoned Ace@united_we_ride Ah ok, sounds interesting. I looked into something like this a couple years ago but found nothing so maybe this is rather new then. What is performance like as far as fps goes because it sound like we'd be running a dedi server app on the same machine that we're running the BF3 game?

wow again some mod merged one of my posts with another thread
this thread is about the XP progression of Coop\PVE in general and I answered to a topic related to coop\pve and the season pass progression which are for me totally different topics
and due to the fact that the season 1 has started some days ago I think it is relevant to point out that this is a problem for part of our community
and that DICE is still capping the XP for Coop\PvE is unbelievable for me and I'm a PvP only player
whith this cap the grind for the season pass will be huge and getting frustrating especially when you don’t have the premium pass and can’t do weekly mission
To burry such topic in another huge thread is shame and not a solution
As I said before we are all one big community which wants to have fun with the game and we all know the game is already struggling
Sorry for my off topic but this should not happen in such a way
See you on the Battlefield

@CountSeroUnfortunately, we're just not a high enough priority, it seems...
I just wanna play AOW Solo/Coop with 128 maps and different teams each game...I'm sick of playing the smaller maps while always being on the US team.It's such a simple thing to fix lol.
- 3 years ago@BigShottt i get a consistent 120fps on max settings with max bots, sometimes the BF3 grenade spam on metro makes me dip to 100 but its not an issue.
- 3 years ago@CountSero I agree, i noticed they merged the posts and was really pissed off. It just makes the issue get seen less and less, which at this point it feels like DICE and EA are doing regarding this issue. I hate that the gaming industry treats its customers like garbage and never listens to what will keep the playerbase playing.
Its all about how fast they can pump out games with content to keep players paying.
They seem to completely disconnect themselves from reality and plug themselves into their ceos pockets. - boleje733 years agoSeasoned Vanguard
Just to give an example of how much of a serious grind the battle pass is for the solo player. You've probably noticed that the amount of XP increases per tier to get that single point toward the next tier. There is a screenshot out there on Reddit from a guy who is level 44 advancing to 45. The amount of XP required is 8000 for a single point. So thats 88000 XP you would need to have to advance from 44 to 45. I can't imagine what it is at level 70 or 80....

@boleje73Welp, guess I won't be buying anything to do with Battlepass related features from EA/DICE any longer, since they don't seem to want most of it accessible via Solo/Coop. Solo/Coop is all I play, never competitive.
Next time they want to sell me a BF with bots in it I'll just save the extra $30-$40 by only buying the base game and nothing else. That's assuming we ever see another BF with bots like this.
- 3 years ago@boleje73 oh, is that seriously real? ah, well, looks like will actually have to listen to people or riots are gonna break out.
- CountSero3 years agoSeasoned Ace
I collecting data from my progression ^^ I'm only an average player and if I’m lucky I still get 1 season pass lvl with two games but I think that I need three games for the next lvl
(The first 17 lvl are not accurate because I didn’t thought the XP increase would be so quick)
- 3 years ago@CountSero Nice work man! that data is really handy, at the very least once all the data is filled out, you can work out a rough figure per day needed. I'm currently 4/10 on level 17 and the XP amount is 4k for that. Damn that's a steep ramp they're building.
Makes me even more mad that this has been ignored by DICE for 8 months and they don't have a solution for it still. - boleje733 years agoSeasoned Vanguard
@united_we_rideI'm not sure if you're allowed to link to reddit, but it is a fairly recent post if you look. I can already see from my current tier that XP per point has increased, so it would be safe to assume that is accurate.
@BigShotttI'm with you, that was the reason I bought 2042. You hear a lot of people complaining about how specialists ruined the franchise, in solo matches they actually are 'special' because you're the only one. I have no argument against them in solo. - CountSero3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@united_we_rideyes i think this xp increase is a steep curve
and thnx for the information for lvl 17 and the 4k xp, i will update my table - 3 years ago@boleje73 Damn, it, yeah it looks that way.
Well, time to contact my local Commerce Commission.
Specialists were a terrible idea for PvP, but they work really damn well in solo play, however some feel overpowered in solo mode still, and that's saying something. - 3 years ago@CountSero It's a shame we don't hear from the devs about what they're listening to and what their thought processes were when implementing such predatory tactics to get people to spend Boins on tiers.
No worries, i wish i had thought to take the info down myself. as a spreadsheet jockey that would have been more fun than BF2042 lol. - boleje733 years agoSeasoned Vanguard
I'm just on the free tier of Battle pass, I'm glad I didn't buy it and I can sure say now that there is absolutely no incentive for me to buy it as a solo player. I just want to unlock the new vehicles and weapons
- BigShottt3 years agoSeasoned Ace@boleje73 Yep, the solo gameplay I think is VERY different than how the maps play on PvP...for instance most PvP'ers want more vehciles on the map at one time, while I think in Solo there's already too many vehicles all at once.
In Solo/Coop you basically have to do the important tasks yourself since the bots don't do any of the crucial work at the exact correct time...which means the only chance you have of winning is to spend much of your time killing enemy vehicles as there are so many of them! - boleje733 years agoSeasoned Vanguard
@BigShottt Yeah I've played some various PvP modes and it just feels like absolute chaos, and not in an enjoyable way.
- BigShottt3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@boleje73Heh, I felt the same way when I played PvP in the Beta. Gettin' too old for that stuff. Heck even in my younger years I didn't care much for PvP but back in the early to mid 90's that's really all we had.
Nowdays I play only shooters which offer MP maps with bot matches :-)Like COD, Arma, and this.
- boleje733 years agoSeasoned Vanguard
@BigShottt I came to the franchise back in 2005 when Battlefield 2 came out. I've spent well over 2000 hours in it and never played a single multiplayer match. The modding community was great; mods like AIX, full progression, people adding maps/weapons/vehicles, you could mod just about anything you wanted in that game, it was great. I even learned some Python along the way doing my own modding.

Stop neglecting this mode, Dice!
Why are we not able to pick the maps from previous titles (Arica Harbor etc.) when choosing what map we want to play in this mode that are currently available in other modes? We still can't choose sides either or the amount of tickets per match. You know? Basic options you'd expect to see in a mode like this.
We had to wait 8 months just for AI squad mates? And the progression is still capped? This is downright pathetic!
- 3 years ago@Pekmez-Pita This absolutely nails it for solo/PvE along side a proper progression system for us to earn ribbons, tags, weekly missions. We're not asking for much, just some confirmations on fixes coming for our concerns here. @Straatford87 @EA_Atic @PartWelsh
- Chief2GFD3 years agoSeasoned Ace
@united_we_ride All we are asking for is something that was in the game at launch.... FULL progression in Solo/Co-Op mode. Not some watered down version, but full progression, the same as in PvE in Official games in Portal.
- LucidDreaming843 years agoSeasoned Ace@Chief2GFD agree
- phoremat3 years agoSeasoned Vanguard
YUP! That's EXACTLY what they advertised and why 1000s of us bought it!
- 3 years ago@Pekmez-Pita Yup, and the 128 maps. I still haven't been able to play on those, really...
