I Could care less about portal brother, it sounds like they catered to teh wrong crowd. The top .001%, the "pro" player....as every game company marching to their own slaughter in the past has done. When they really should only care what the avg player thinks, the actual community ...lol Because throwing bags of garbage against a wall can be a competitive sport if the people took it serious enough. The core of your community is what matters. Thats what took LoL to ESPN in 2014. And then unfortunately the smurfs rage quit the playerbase and it died literally a year later as like retalliation. lmao.... and society just watched as if it was their right to destroy them. They coined that derogatory term for the, "smurf". LIke CS, the most popular E-Sport of all time, coined the term "Stacker". And if you are a so called human that wants things "fair". You would want everyone to have equal points and not this half step to p2w candy carebear singleplayer bs anways. IMHO, only a cheater would be against people levelling on a private bot server lmao. Sorry if I offended anyone. but I'm a competitive multiplayer who treats this like football. And this is classic conquest BF. where the base guns are usually the best anwayas. pro tip. let people have their fun who don't like getting stomped by non competitive online nerds who hate society or think they fooling and impressing someone.
dude, it wasnt just the pve solo vs bot crowd that got shafted. Portal has the only hardcore gamemodes, the custom maps and conquest with higher tickets. All of those got shafted. Portal is a lot more than just the ones who wants to fight bots
I understand that. but apparently the reason it got shafted is cause it gave people xp. I'm saying that is not a valid reason to get rid of bots in portal, or get rid of portal or whatever happened. I'm not sure why people care, especially bf veterans.
I think it's likely because not only was it used as a selling point when advertising the game, but the older titles had dedicated portal servers which harboured little communities of players, clans and was manually moderated so cheaters got the boot immediately, When you remove bots and require a set limit to start a game most people don't have the patience to sit in a lobby queue for an hour until it fills with enough players to start the game whereas if it had bot backfill people could play and the bots would be replaced immediately when a player joins.
The whole exp thing though I understand wanting to combat the exp farms but they could have just removed the ability to spawn unarmed bots or place them in a static position so someone could just stand still and mag dump.
I just think EA/Dice could have handled this much better and it's not like the forums don't have an entire encyclopaedia of feedback and suggestions on how to improve things. Instead they have ignored everything and decided to make poor choice after poor choice which had inevitably resulted in a mass exodus of players.
dunno. in recent bf's the only popular servers were cheater ones. I can start naming clan tags that everyone all knows. but I will refrain. I keep seeing on these forums that there were good ones. But I haven't seen that in years. I'm in the north east usa, and bf6 seems to be really popular here. But I think that when you run a good server, the bad admin ones lag you to frustrate you from paying for it. They see you as competition. And the gov't turns a blind eye and the game companies are helpless against them.
