Fix Portal!

EA and everyone else, 

I am writing this to bring attention back to the issues surrounding portal. The community wants to be able to play portal solo. I know the community has different reasons for wanting to be able to play solo in portal. My reason is that my preferred way to play is PVPVE.

 I joined battlefield during 2042 and have over 100 hours of playtime BECAUSE of portal. My favorite way to play this game is PVPVE because me and my closet friend(s) can join up in a low-key match, vanilla or custom (e.g Hardcore with preferred tuned settings) and have an absolute blast. Then, because its active, other people can join and spice up the matches! 
Without this feature I quickly get fatigued from the game and, I find myself not playing it as much, even though I like it far more than 2042. 

EA, DICE, you guys got your money, none of us can find any good real reason for Portal to not be open to solo play! PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THATS GOOD, REMOVE THE PLAYER REQUIREMENT FOR MATCH START IN PORTAL. 

Do you agree? Disagree? Have a different reason why you prefer to play portal without the 4-player requirement? Let the devs know down below, even if its just "I agree"! and maybe by some mirical the devs will listen to the community and fix this. 

p.s 
If anyone knows how to overcome this, let me know!

    VoidsCypher​ I absolutely agree! Also a one player start would fix portal for the PvE against bots crowd… which there are many. A conservative estimate is that 10% of sales for BF6 were for the Campaign and solo/co-op players… that’s 2 million copies of BF6 that could be buying skins, season passes and XP boosts. EA is just being stubborn or showing stupidity on this issue.

  • A properly configured portal custom experience can still solo against bots and behaves properly like backfill allowing players to join or leave.

    I have done the work for you. Here are a dozen+ different PVPVE experiences which allow you to solo start against bots. Host with a password if you want PVE only.

    Play PvE or PvP: Solo Start with Bots | EA Forums - 12909480

    Casual conquest is a hit because it has all the vehicles, fast respawn, and allows you to practice and PVE against bots that behave and use vehicles in a mostly natural way (as best as is allowed at this time), allows you to start solo with 55 bots, and maintains a minimum of 16 bots even when maxed out with players.

     

    Otherwise, if you want to do it yourself, this is how:

    Create a Portal Custom experience. Edit the map spatial file to customize the spawns, objectives, add vehicles, and add AI spawners. Then create rules which tell the spawner to fill the experience with bots. The AI spawners with a rule to trigger them get around the bot backfill minimum player limit by forcing the server to be portal custom which allows EA to control XP in whatever way they wish in order to stay happy.
