Agreed, I've been hosting a server for almost 2 weeks 64 bots and 64 humans, 32 bots and 32 humans per team. Would start with 1 human and 32 v 32 bots.
People loved it, 30 humans at one point so 94 playing on a map with the bots included. There were rivalries, friendships and true battlefield moments being made because the servers rolled on and didn't boot everyone after each game.
Would come home excited to see who was on the server and started recognising the regulars, knew who would be an awesome sniper or a brilliant helicopter pilot and to see if they were on your team or not.
Then came back today and can no longer start the game without 20 players, even when it got started there was only a few bots and 40 in total on the game.
Massive disappointment, can't understand why dice took that from us. Feels like they want to force us into REDSEC or some LTM that I never brought the game for
