The AI is good enough to fill!
I can't play World Tour anymore because my region exclusively plays on a single Portal server.
There's now no way for me to enjoy other factions without sacrificing my own "concept" of progress in 2042 since playing with other factions in Portal and enabling AI results in restricted XP.
World Tour was the only way I could play other factions without feeling like I was cutoff at the knees.

I fully understand your frustration.
As I have said many times, I firmly believe that we need to have single player starts in all game modes in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences.
Imho all players in all regions should have access and not be locked out of the game.
In my own experience, I enjoyed playing World Tour on many occasions when it was single player starts, and the servers actually filled up fairly quickly until the AI were all replaced.
Get the servers started and get people playing I say.
No they will not do anything, I’m sure they are hoping to regain the server space before the Christmas season games are released. They even admit the game is bad but somehow skirt around legally being responsible enough to give everyone refunds for this scam of a game. Matchmaking is so broken and they already ran off with our money leaving no one that’s actually gonna do whatever it takes to implement this change. It will be hard to scale xp and damage and all sorts of other coding other then just flip a switch to make it work. Personally I don’t like pvp ai games because the ai is sandbagging whether to compensate for the mass amounts of terrible players or decent players and then I don’t want newbie from game pass getting boosted xp there’s already so many reasons more I can point out why not refutable contradictions regardless if opening the game up is a good thing. New Gen games sell you games they don’t guarantee will work or function at all today. Completely irrelevant what we think, we are just the cash cows. Policies can’t keep up or the players have their heads in the sand in the current market. Hope you find they post about any updates as updates are supposedly over for 2042 realistically one more would be to ensure the server space is reduced or a fancy publication stating optimization.
@Lancelot_du_Lac
I feel your pain, all players should have access in all regions.
Single player starts would allow this to happen and imho should be implemented in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences.
With the current player numbers the sooner we get one player starts, backfilled with AI in all game modes in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences the better, so all players have access at all times
DICE please introduce one player starts for all modes in both AOW and Official Portal Experiences to eliminate the frustrating waiting times in lobbies and allow access to all players.

In the west coast US here and feeling the crunch. Ether, I get into a server with 5 persons endlessly waiting or to the last minute of a match.
/Sigh
Very frustrating and time consuming and something that could be easily rectified if they implemented one player starts.
Community ManagerHey folks, just wanted to pop in here and let you know I have seen and have read this thread.
I've passed on the feedback here so it will be seen, just wanting to set some realistic expectations that while we may not always be able to respond to every thread, they are read and taken seriously.

Once again the random games mode change over losing more players.Doo doo poo poo people removed frontlines but added back 2 rush modes. We barely have enough players for one rush xl and you added a regular one that has been stuck in the same it seems since the change over. Like I said they are trying to reduce the players to gain server space. These people don’t care about the game, they are so tired of knowing it’s a p o s that can never be fixed or even try to change it enough to suffice a basic game. Why would they reduce the number needed to start when they clearly are trying to reduce the people playing. No direct contact on every forum and post from ea other then official posts which they do not interact directly with players to insulate themselves from actually doing work outside of fixing what’s already broken on the games they release. I’m sure they would rather spend the time to nerf accounts instead of fix something else. Especially when it comes to enabling more server space and processing power.

@RayD_O1For BF2042 1-player start is the only way forward left to prevent the game from sudden death.
And of course, it is ridiculous that people in some regions aren’t able to play the game mode they want for more than months already. I’ve been lucky enough to be in a well populated area to keep me playing with cross play off, Now, since season seven has ended, I am getting a taste of what people in regions like Oceania and Middle East have had to endure.
I agree, one player starts are absolutely essential to have any hope of retaining the current player base.
Can we have one player starts in all modes please?
I wish we could get some EA affiliated communication on why the game is not opened up more? So why no 1-player starts, why no full XP on portal and Solo/Co-OP, why no server browser, where are the persistent servers in AOW?

It would eliminate waiting time in lobbies and allow all players access. Imho one player starts should be implemented asap.

You have a point there.

All of the above you mention would make the whole gaming experience so much more enjoyable.

These are the questions that need answering.
Just checked out some of this weeks game modes :
Close Quarters Conquest - 16 required to start
Bad Company 2 - Deja Vu - 8 required to start
Conquest 64 - 16 required to start
Control (48 players ) - 16 required to start
I was hoping to be able to get a few rounds in with crossplay turned off (EU Region), but with the above restrictions I was unable to get even one round in on any of the above.
Imho one player starts should be available for all game modes to allow all players access in all regions.
Get the rounds started I say, backfilled with AI to be replaced with humans as players join.
The fact they haven’t made this change yet - simple as it is - is yet another sign how little they care about us who are still playing BF2042.
I find it amazing this has not been addressed.
