So I just found out and verified that there are no bots allowed on verified portal experiences. The option to backfill is greyed out.
So what's the point of portal? Even MP has bots. No bots at ALL? How do you plan to fill your servers?
I thought we'd be able to unlock weapons and attachments vs bots. What happened to that? I'm old. I wear bifocals. I have arthritis. I have nerve damage. I bought this game thinking I could play vs bots like in 2042.
Instead, I have two choices: go into MP where I can't unlock anything because I get killed every 20 seconds by people sprinting and sliding and bunny-hopping all over the place like crazy and coming at me from literally every direction, or play portal for no xp, no unlocks, no rewards.
Dice, I'm disappointed.
EA/DICE before launch: https://www.ea.com/en/games/battlefield/battlefield-6/news/progression-in-battlefield-6 "All multiplayer experiences, as well as verified community experiences in the Portal, will grant full XP toward this robust progression system." EA/Dice today: https://x.com/BattlefieldComm/status/1981556746482307086?s=09 "PvE options will still be available through custom experiences, but verified full XP experiences are starting to better reflect our focus on player-versus-player gameplay." If they had mentioned the level, many of us, myself included, would never have bought the game.
