I made a faithful recreation of operation firestorm with custom bots. The bots will use the vehicles, go to the objectives, attack with vehicles, and do the normal bot things. It's a lot less sweaty and is really enjoyable. I have been playing it for hours and am getting much better at flying helicopters and targeting weak spots on tanks.
Experience code: ZGQ1G
"Casual Conquest, Fast Vehicle Spawn, Bot Control, Team Switching"
At the big sign in the center of the spawn exit, go up to it and toggle bots on or off. You can also switch teams if you want to be able to control who is stacking on a team (play with friends in a larger group). And you can host it with a password if you don't want someone coming in and spoiling the fun.
I'll add Mirak Valley and Eastwood, if people play it. Otherwise I wonder why people say they want this, but their actions say otherwise.
Note: if it plays like crap, reroll and host it again and hope for a new server with less up time. I have a thread about it. You can turn the network bar on in settings->system->network, and it will show server up time. Servers with "long" up time, (only 9 hours is a long time?!), have crazy lag spikes and make it pretty much unplayable for a full match.

No bots spawn and the player character is invisible. Guessing the moronic patch broke this.

I don't know if you are talking to me or not, but like I said and like the server description says, each round starts with bots off and you have to go to the interractive sign and spawn them.
Since enough people seem to want bots and seem to have troubles figuring out why not bots spawned, i'll change the default to bots spawning each round, and you have to choose to despawn them instead of vice-versa.
There are people playing it right now though, so I will wait until it subsides in the morning or something. And I guess that means I will also be adding Eastwood and Mirak Valley in the future due to apparent demand.
I have a test experience already running the newer AI code, and somehow people found it and it is populating too.

I just played a match of your experience. Great Job! I like it. If you can improve it at all I would suggest making the boundaries much larger for aircraft. The match was great. I did a private server, and the bots were very good. I'm sure you put a lot of effort into that experience. They should have that template already. Unbelievable that you had to make that from scratch. I couldn't or wouldn't want to do that. Thank you for sharing. I would like to see more maps added like Mirak and Eastwood.

I made the boundaries larger, but kept them within the defined area since I don't want to spend time at the moment to discover what in the undefined area can and cannot be collided with. At the moment, I am working on the other two maps.
Note: you can fly over the enemy HQ as long as your altitude is high enough not to land on any of the objects/terrain.

Ty_Ger07 Unfortunately I have loaded up your ZGQ1G experience multiple times as Hosted Locally, but just cannot see how to switch on Bots. I don't know if you can give more instructions for stupid people like me?
I assume it is on the Deploy screen but searched the screen where I select Host Locally and after Deploy. On Deploy screen I see X Customise, space to Deploy and in top right some main buttons for connecting to friends (which I don't have any!).
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help?

If memory serves from when they posted a screenshot previously, it's a sign near spawn after you deploy that you can interact with.

There is a big sign in spawn with options. I changed it to default bots enabled instead of disabled. It seemed to me that bots should be opt-in choice by default instead of opt-out, but everyone wants them and some have a hard to finding the sign or think it is a hassle. So, they are on by default now.

I just tried finding this experience, nothing was showing.

I updated it while no one was playing. It's back up. After each update, it takes 3-ish hours for EA to approve it and be publicly visible.
