No level cap ATM, there was one for Beta, but not for release . . . Yeah Empire is pretty bad. I had a few games where they had level 94 that kept head shotting me, until I had to do that mountain level protocol (stay behind cover all the time). Or a lvl 68 guy running around with a pdw or pistol and three hitting people. I can tell they are on when I go to cap and there are dozens of bots needed revive. I feel ya . . .
Wow, 150+ between just two, the max I ran across was average 70's and a few hitting low 100's but wow.
But you can host your portal experience with default game modes (just set team to backfill w/ bots) but good luck cuz its like a month ago with 2042 and the AFK XP grind hosted games, and too many hosted games. You can use the browser to look for default game modes and jump in those with the least amount of players (the rest will be backfilled with bots), but I'm going to assume there are cracked (very good) ppl in there farming bots and n00bs like me, but it's probably better than multi player where everyone is cracked and zero bots.
