Allow Portal to Start With One Player

Dear Dice,

I am a long-term BF fan. In fact, that’s the only game I play. I used to play B3 a lot back in the day in 2012-2013. However, I was not fortunate enough to be able to play bf4, bf1, and bf5 due to life events. But, fortunately, I was able to join bf2042 later in 2022 when the game matured and was polished. Due to busy life though, I enjoyed playing it on portal servers with bots casually on weekends for 2 years until bf6 came along. Though, I really would like to enjoy playing bf6, I have not been able to do so. After, a week of hard work, I come home to play bf6 casually on official portal conquest game with bots backfill, but the game never starts because there is a minimum requirement of 4 human player, so the servers never reaches the required number and the game never starts even after hours of waiting.

All I am asking is to let me play an official casual conquest with bots, even, if it means hosting on my local pc. I really do not care much about xp, leveling assignments etc, so if you make it like bf2042 portals where you only get moderate xp but can still complete assignments, that would be fine with me.

Why I do not want to play multiplayer full of human players:

• I cannot get my hands on my favorite vehicles which are air vehicles, and even if i do, that does not last long. So the whole game becomes a waiting game and out of 20 min game i might be able to actually play a few minutes.
• Even if I get my hands on air vehicles I get take down quickly due to overpowered AAs such as stingers and AA vehicles with nearly unlimited range, insane tow missile, fast rpgs, even a handgun can take little bird down. And, that is not an skill issue because I am an experienced bf pilot since bf3.

Why I don’t want to play on unofficial portal experiences that have no human requirement?

   - Many of them are unpolished, for example, the spawn location and type is horrible.

   - Due to no support for 60 hz tick rate on unofficial servers game is very laggy and unresponsive especially in fast paced fighter jets and little bird.

- You don’t get points to complete assignments or battle pass or gradually level up your weapons.

So, please, DICE, bring back support to play official portal experiences with bot back-fill and no human players minimum requirements on a 60 hz tick rate server for casual player like me. If, you look at number of players playing portal games on 2042 even now, you will realize we do exist.

Thank you in advance for paying attention to this matter and resolving it. 🙏
