I have. I would host my own server, with my own hardware if they let us. I want to create a verified game mode, in portal but the smallest you can go for ranked is 16 players in Rush. The way they have it set up now is you need the full 16 to start a game. My server starts and fills with 11 bots. I make 12. It says you need 4 people to start the game. My friends all join but they replace the bots, the bots don't add enough filler to start the game. Our whole community is on the brink of setting the game down for a few months until they fix this. We have more than 4 friends at a time who want to play, and to prevent us from having portal servers because they are worried about bot farms is crazy. All the cod players just use cheats and unlock tools to get all the stuff anyway, so what is the point of even having bots to fill a server if you don't want people playing with bots.
