Can't start a portal match to save my life. It was working two days ago before I foolishly updated my map rotation. Now I can't get a single verified portal mode to launch since it now has only 6 bots load on each side and waits for 8 actual humans. I don't have 8 friends and I just want to play with a few people. We also play with someone who is handicapped mentally so he can't keep up with normal players. It's fun to hear him get excited thinking he's playing the game and helping out but now he can't enjoy the game since his reflex's aren't even close to what a normal person is. He can't get a single kill and ends up closing the game after a few matches. We need portal mode back I don't know why these changes were made other than to further isolate PvE players. When will this be fixed?

They've likely sold at least 1.5M-2M copies to PvE solo players, and yet see how poorly you get treated by these people?They seem to have so little concern about PvE and even less regard for the players who spent good money expecting to play it and now have nothing, including their money being gone.Bring back Solo PvEBring back Coop PvETalk to us instead of ignoring, communicate and let us know what will be happening with this!

Ty_Ger07 BrutalSBK7777 There are no lies about the lack of bots. The fact is you can't play any of the normal Battlefield game modes that Battlefield is known for, with bots as PvE. There are no default BF game mode templates given to us in the Custom area of Portal. IF & when Dice gives us Conquest, Rush and Breakthrough templates in the Custom area then you will see PvE players playing the game.But as it stands right now there are NO game modes you can play in the Custom area, you can only code your own invention of a game mode IF you know how to code and only then you can throw in the bots for zero weapon progression.Of course the issue then will be that we wont be able to unlock any weapons or attachments which means we still can't play the game as it was designed and we were led to believe. The only lie here is the one that has been handed to us by Dice/EA and then you eluding that if the shoe were on the other foot, and it was PvP that was sacrificed, you wouldn't be screaming bloody murder right now yourself.Let them do the right thing and give us PvE'ers refunds instead of thieving our money. For crying out loud they won't even talk to us about this bs. Only silence and seemingly taking our money dishonestly.

They don't seem interested in helping us, or even acknowledging us.
The "fixes" they've implemented obviously aren't for us.
It seems like they are diverting a lot of resources to their new Redsec game and monetization.
I think the bugs will eventually get fixed, but as for restoring PvE and fixing the cheating in PvP, it's not looking promising.

I only play multiplayer, which I like for the excitement, but I do understand about playing in a Solo/Co-Op mode versus Bots... and then you would have no need for Portal matches.
In Battlefield 5 and in Battlefield 2042 you could play against Bots and level up your weapons. So, maybe they will add something like that to this game. Eventually.

Can you ppls stop lying ffs? You can play with bots, you can start game with bots , you can do w/e you want with bots just on MODIFIED XP.
Stop lying there's no bots , you just want to farm progress vs bot which is heavily nerfed cuz you exploited it to the max !
STOP LYING ! IF you want bots go play NO XP vs BOTS simple as that.

Gas light often? Or just too incompetent to access the portal and create a map then check it out yourself. Or are you one of the hacker **bleep** and less and less are playing PvP due to filth like you.
Or maybe EA/Dice is paying you to troll bot threads like this, spouting your BS! That is probably it. Maybe, just maybe you have a reading problem and cannot comprehend what the problem is. Let me help you out here.
Yes, we can have bots and yes we can start bot games. Now the details. Pay close attention, there will be a quiz. You have to have at least 8 human players and only 12 bots will spawn in. Games will not start without 20 players minimum, bots + humans. Therefore, solos and those of us wanting to play with our small group of friends, are again hosed. We do not want to deal with the hacker trash and other PvP **bleep**.
Verified this last update did not change anything.

The irony is that after removing the bot farming again, portal is more playable than it has been in a week.
You can still solo bots. It just needs to be a custom map with no XP. You can search for one and host it with a password, if you want. I have 5 that I made, for example. I just recently made a topic about them. All 5 have bots and start with only one person. You miss out on the XP, but that is not your concern, right?
