I agree. I was having so much fun with Breakthrough with no vehicles and most of the servers had a good mix of bots and PVP. Now it is only PVP or bot farms, or people farms where 1 team spawns right in front of the enemy and is instantly killed. Portal reminded me of the MW2 Invasion mode. That mode had a good mix of PVP and bots. It was one of my favorite game mods because I could just have a chill game with friends and still have a challenge.
Now if I want to progress my guns I have to go play with the 10 hours a day kids that never seem to miss. Hell I have been a very competitive FPS gamer for years but as I get older I just want to have a more relaxed game. I agree that bot farms need to go away but it would be nice to be able to have servers with 50-50.
I was having so much fun with the game in Beta and 1st week. 1st you took away things like getting on roof in Cairo(which made it a much better map) and now portal is not worth playing. I would really like a good mix like the old MOH days.
Here are some things we would like. The ability to get all progression with bots or PVP. Just make it where the bots give you less XP per kill and you get more for real players. That would make it more worth your while. Let portal not count for leader boards. Hell most of the people up there are usually not legit.
Give us the ability to bring back game modes from MOH and other BF games. I would love to be able to have blood money from BF Hardline in portal. That would be awesome!
Please do not listen to the loud few who do not like people playing bots because they want to farm them in PVP. Let people play how they want. That is why dedicated servers use to be so popular. People would host their own servers and if you didn't like the way it played you didn't play it.
We like the sandbox but it is not going to be much fun if you do not have the tools to play in it!
