Questions about BF2042's Portal Mode

So concerning BF2042's Portal Mode I have a few concerns about how much actual control I will have and how that control will be implemented. I would like to hear from someone working on the Portal mode so that I can get my facts straight and continue my pre-planning (yes I have been working on the details of my portal server and experience since 3 months prior to release) and plan for anything else in the event something unexpected happens.

Q1) I've heard that the AI used in BF2042 is based off of data from previous Battlefield titles to better stimulate actual players while a server is being populated. Does this mean that the AI we will be playing against is catered towards specific difficulties like a plateauing difficulty curve or does it mean that the more we play the more difficult the AI becomes sort of like a Procedural Learning AI?

Q2) We are able to set team size and restrictions in Portal with AI filling in the gaps for players while the server populates. As a creator am I able to lock a team so that it only consists of AI players while forcing players all into one team?

Those are my main 2 questions, if anymore do pop-up I'll either add them in as edits or reply to the EA manager that gave me the initial answers

@DeeCay_DK_81 So you will play together with 99 bots? A server with 100 soldiers in total? Or will you have 28 random people join?

No, @DeeCay_DK_81 will only play alone on his private server with 100 AI Soldiers all dressed out in their Donna D’Errico and Pamela Anderson skins model 1990 ! 🙂
(Hey EA, here was an idea for a lucrative spinoff business branch!)

@CyberDyme Interesting. So he will play with an unbalanced team? 100 bots and himself?

Sure @infantrypeasant ,
With co-players like that, who wouldn't want to sign up for such a gig?
Like @DeeCay_DK_81 listed:
their abilities
insane level of game sense
SKILL-LEVEL: over 9000 !
Or maybe you are not old enough to know what I meant with reference to the Donna D’Errico and Pamela Anderson skins model 1990? 🙂

@Jesse165Agreed.
@EA_Atic Respect. Although, it does sound like more than branding / semantics... Thanks again for the info.

Well thanks for answering my question about the AI. Now that I know the AI does utilize machine learning that’s going to make things interesting for most PvE portal servers that people can make and could lead to so “Fun” times.
