The "initiation" modes being restricted to only level 15 and lower, and still insisting on giving you player opponents, sucks. Just give me my AI modes like 2042, thanks. People that want PvP already have their PvP game modes and they have already been the focus forever, leave me alone.
This is the one thing 2042 did better and I don't know why they are walking away from it. Well that and the menu to change attachments mid-game was pretty sweet too and I dunno why that is gone.
I am sure this stance is going to get a LOT of hate which, fair enough. If anyone has suggestions for a BF-sorta game but PvE (meaning, exclusively against AI or, at most, with humans only on my team), I am all ears. I'd love to know because to my knowledge there ain't shit. I even tried Googling "Battlefield style games PvE" and all the results are just how great 2042 did this. Say what you want about 2042 but it nailed this niche.
Edit: Yes I am aware of SPT for Tarkov and I enjoy it quite a lot. Just doesn't hit quite the same itch as BF games.
