Portal is back with Bots .. but Not for Solo Still Waiting for this.

I am quite happy Portal is back and FULL XP is same and stays as well .. but sadly .. still can't do it SOLO .. hopefully there is a patch to allow SOLO.

One step at a time of doing good .. than once this part is fixed we will talk about the battle pass grind .. as I shouldn't be getting 1 or 2 tokens I should at least be getting 7 or 8 tokens at least.

    Why is my reply marked as solution?

    It hasnt been solved..

  • This not a solution for removing PvE from the game. many of us paid for the PvE....and what this thread is talking about is still just PvP...putting in the bots but forcing a number of players on each side is still PvP. They need to remove the requirement for more than 1 players and they need to increase to a full field of bots so we have our PvE back.

    still no purchase because i am waiting for solo/co-op modes (at least bring it back to Portal / i don't mind if XP gets reduced or even noXP for that purpose) for Conquest + Breakthrough.

    just a casual gamer here and just like to train and play with bots like in 2042

    I bought the game to play solo PvE against bots and it was great at launch. I'm going to return it if it doesn't come back. I don't care about XP or progression, I just want to play my way like they advertised. They should just make a solo/coop mode like 2042.

    Hi WCP75​,

    I've unmarked the comment you mentioned that was selected by someone as the solution. 

  • Like many others, I bought this game hoping to enjoy the PvE mode, just as I did for four long years in Battlefield 2042. It took several months, but eventually the developers managed to find a good balance, allowing the creation of PvE servers—even with the infamous “moderate XP” tag. That was fine for me: I could unlock weapons, attachments, weekly challenges, and progress through the battle pass. All of this was possible mainly thanks to something I’ve only recently come to fully realize. The bots in BF2042, while far from any human-like behavior, still had a certain level of challenge. They worked together, captured objectives, drove vehicles, supported each other — and, most importantly, were managed by algorithms infinitely better than those controlling the bots in BF6.

    I don’t know how it’s possible, but in Portal I stumbled upon a Full XP server with bots where you can start a match with just one human player. Full XP, all maps, solo play with bot teammates against a team of bots. Each team has 24 members instead of 32 — I have no idea why DICE imposed that limit. But the worst part, in my opinion, is that it’s not even half as fun as BF2042, precisely because the bots here seem to have received an embarrassing downgrade. Some stand still for no reason, others sprint past you completely ignoring your presence, and a few are somewhat more aggressive. If you shoot at them, they don’t even try to find cover like the bots in BF2042 used to do. And let’s not even mention their ability to drive vehicles — absolutely embarrassing! Helicopters just hover in place most of the time. All this just to say that perhaps one of the reasons DICE doesn’t want players to enjoy purely PvE servers is because they’re fully aware of the poor quality of their current AI work. Maybe many players don’t care much about this aspect — some might just want to shoot dumb bots to relax after a day at work without jumping into PvP. But for me, it’s sad to see that after years of AI development and steady improvements in BF2042’s bots, we’ve ended up with BF6 — a great game in terms of gunplay, but one that represents a shameful step backward in bot quality. What a pity! What a missed opportunity... and how sad to see that all the progress achieved in previous installments has been completely ignored or forgotten. Developers don’t want to allow full PvE play? Well, judging by the current results, maybe that’s for the best.
