Lonefighters was a fun and interesting experience back when it was introduced. Nowadays, however, LF is restricted to custom battles and can be frankly irritating. Especially if lobbies have passwords or are Mixed Faction. Also, I feel that if LF is reintroduced it can be used as the default mode for Enlisted’s competitive events as it would be more hardcore than the current way competitive events are held.

The reason was that the devs could “focus on the Squads mode”. But quite frankly if they had developed LF more it would’ve gotten a better reception. Esp since at the time Enlisted had a smaller playerbase at the time it was removed.
Vast majority didnt want the mode and devs as well. I also dont know wtf people think the devs xould have done there to make the mode “better”
Odd that you say “vast majority” since when the devs announced they were going to remove lonefighters there was a divide at the time within the community. Sure a lot didn’t want it but far from the vast majority. Lonefighters was a breathe of fresh air that added variety to the game, even if it was a side project. And tbh there’s a ton of things they could have added to LF since it was “hardcore”. Such as suppression, realistic movement, weapon jamming, alternative gamemodes for LF itself. Plenty of things to work with.

Imagine not wanting more variety to a game that desperately needs to grow a player base. Can’t be me.
I cant remember any divide. That doesnt make sense if the mode was unpopular to point where they needed bot players.
I remember that, 3 or 4 guys complained about that for week, probably for lone figther playerbase was a huge divide
Idk where you have been, but this entire game is filled with bots. Not just lone fighters. In LF it was more noticeable because instead of a squad of bots firing at you, you only had 1.
There are differences between bot squad mates in mode where they are supposed to be there and a supposed non bot mode filled with bot single players.
I think the gamemode should be brought back. Not because I would play it myself, but because it would give the option to those that wish to play like that anyways. All too often I see players trying to Rambo through on squads and getting their whole squad killed, and respawning again with another decent sized squad and charging in again. This depletes team resources very rapidly, often being the reason for a team loss.
Giving them the option to go in as “lone fighter” in a game-mode designed for that would greatly help alleviate the strain on teams from those players, while also giving them what they are looking for.
Side note: all too often there are rally points that are put down intentionally surrounded with fortifications to stop AI from being able to get out. This is usually the doing of these players that want to play lone wolf tactics, so they keep their AI penned in. Unfortunately, this also means that other players will have their AI penned in as well, really screwing things up. If you start taking down the fortifications to let the AI out, the players that put it there retaliate by using troll tactics such as burning teammates with fire, setting up barbwire in front of friendly spawns, and breaking necessary fortifications out of spite.
Adding this gamemode back as A main option would be a great help against this behavior.

Because people who don’t want rambos go to the “non-rambo” mode so people who play rambo in main mode will become less rambo because the people who don’t wanna rambo are not here anymore so main mode becomes less rambo because less non-rambos are around… riiight…
Or non rambos go to old non rambo mode to find out that non rambo mode is as dead as before but still somehow changes things.

Hope you know, the devs never explicitly stated that LF was supposed to be all human players. And do bear in mind when they say “players” anywhere, they mean AI and humans. Here is the original post when they released it. The only time they mention the removal of AI is this “game mode where you fight only with one soldier without AI squad soldiers at your side”. It does not say the removal of ALL ai but the removal of your AI squad mates. New game mode 'Lone Fighters' - leave your FEEDBACK here plz

Using a mere ounce of brain matter would help you realize that LF was a bot/human mode same as Squads.
LF was removed to make server space for custom games IIRC, and with how inconsistent the servers can be, I’m not sure ope ing up another gamemode would be a good idea.
For a start its funny that the topic post recieved two likes. And like 90% of the comments state that they dont like the mode and basically make fun of LF players.
So much for its popularity and the dividing the playerbase lol.
Anyway most people wanted LF to have games without “Skynet” AI and that was stated a lot by the bunch of fanboys in the topic and in the meme theeads about LF and before the mode was created. But the devs were actually smart for once and knew that they needed to include AI soldiers there as well otherwise matches would never pop up and wh?
BECAUSE NO ONE PLAYED THE MODE.
