EA Fumbled big time in Portal BF6

Average players cannot play in portal the way you sold the game to them. Forget the Challenges, XP, weapon mastery. Average players cannot play without serious coding. This is worse than Arma3. I just played an experience that someone probably sweated over for hours to create, maybe days YR552. The map is great and very large with plenty of flying room and lots of vehicles with bots on opposing teams. First, I fly four attack helicopters and an AI jumps in with me. Each one I get out and the AI take over, nicely, but they fly to a point and hover.  4 different attack copters are hovering near each other doing nothing. How lame.

    Next, I grab a transport helicopter and hover around my team bots. They do jump in which is great. That is the best part. I fly over to the enemy area to drop them off and there is no "Get out" command like in 2005 BF2. The bots man guns in the helicopter, which is nice, but they do not get out. They do not go to points on command. A simple code that any bots should go to a location Ping with Key bind Q gets no response or action. There are no mixed squads of bots and players for PVE. In this particular experience, which is not mine, should allow the player to direct the same team ai to attack, defend, or patrol an area. This is remedial in Arma 3. Such great player to AI commands is missing in this game of great destruction. Really the only thing you guys have over any other game right now is the destruction. Battlefield 2 had much better autonomous bots and commands for bots 20 years ago.

I wish you would give a better PVE/COOP portal experience for average noncoding Joes in Battlefield 6

Thank you for your time,

    The only thing people use portal for is to fa bots for XP to increase their level & guns. Yea they pretty much fumbled the ball hard with Portal. It had huge potential to beat other games out with. A sandbox, with battlefield gameplay where you could create your own maps,  use guns/vehicles from old titles, & make your own game modes. Looks good in theory but completely crap in reality. From what I’ve seen after 500 hours of playing only like 5% of the player-base actually uses portal mode lobbies. 95% of players just play quick match/traditional public EA servers. Whenever I search in portal mode server browser it’s just hundreds upon hundreds of pages of empty servers that say 1/60 players. 1 person per, just XP farming bots lol.  It was basically a bit farm till they removed XP gain after half the playerbase boosted their stats off of it. You join one & it’s just a bunch of bots running around. Like nobody plays portal except for maybe organized clans on special day events they planned. Everyone else just clicks quick match in the main menu. Imagine EA spending hundreds of millions on portal just for nobody to use because the poor design behind their matchmaking system. Sheesh 

  • COD also has good/smart ai bots. EA/dice needs to hire these guys. They play the objective.
