We present a new test game mode where you fight only with one soldier without AI squad soldiers at your side. There will be 25x25 players in the battle. Mode is available starting from level 3 of the campaign.
When you select a squad during spawn, you’ll use soldiers from that squad one by one. Only tank squads spawn in full size in order to ensure you can control a vehicle.
Please, give us your feedback and suggestions on the mode.

In Lone Fighters mode you can now select members of your group as a spawn point. The group can be composed of your friends or random players. Each group member will have their own number displayed on the map and spawn selection window.
Also the Invasion mode in Moscow campaign has been rebalanced: time lowered to capture strategic point and increased reinforcements points for the attacking team.
On first impressions without playing it, I think we will need 30+ vs 30+ to maintain the sense of pace that Enlisted has with the AI squads. I’ll be testing it in-depth and give more feedback by editing this post.
Okay so this mode is the end-all be-all demonstrator as to why Russia’s winrate is so abysmal:
I think we only had 1 actual player fighting against us, all the other 24 “players” were bots with a negative KD. In the meanwhile, we had at 8 players.
Posing bots as real players does not work and no ammount of balancing will make up for the lack of players for Russia. This is a playerbase issue and an AI issue.
Currently, it’s filled with bots, pretty casual because no human enemies. Wait for more players to recognize this mode. Tank/Airplanes is pretty ??? because it takes a precious human players to eliminate it.
The win or lose is more decided by which side has more human. Especially auto weapons.
BTW: XP gained is very little, just a few hundred.
This mod is terribly not fun, the feature and advantage of Enlisted, which I think, is a large-scale battle with a lot of AI,but in this mode, it completely kills its features and makes it look like a mini battlefield.
This mode amplifies the issues with AI-led squads to a maximum. Their decision making is simple and run to the closest capture point. All you have to do is set up a single MG nest overseeing that ONE route they use and you can just rack up kill after kill. Even then, progression is slower because you only get 1 kill per player instead of up to 7.
I will probably need to play it some more but here is what I can offer for now…
Good thing is, snipers can make some impact, but for what cost? Map feels kind of… empty and match feels far slower. Entire gamemode feels more like a casual shooter aka Red Crucible where map feels more like closed arena that gives you no feeling of battle. On the other hand, combination of slow paced combat with making more impact provides more opportunities for more careful and tactical thinking. Definitely not a mode aimed on people who were interested in the game right from start.
So… as one popular meme would tell you: “What did it cost?” … “Everything”
I really don’t like this gamemode. Enlisted is all about the AI squads so why take them out? The maps feel empty and lifeless. It just feels like shitty copy of hell let loose or post Scriptum. It also makes the premium even more OP do to the fact that you pretty much can’t kill and premium soldier that is a human and not a bot. Overall 2/10 bad gamemode.
unlike others i enjoyed it. without bots to get in the way and be killed from terminator units, it had more of a standard fps feel. i agree that it could use more players in a battle but i still liked it.
as a suggestion. make lone solider = academy , where you have to take that soldier into combat alone and that helps rank it up. its just an idea.
Id like it more if the map rotation was better, I get mostly Lake Boskoe (can’t remember the name), and invasion on Vysokovo, gotten a few Avangarde ones but, kinda boring. Plus fighting mostly AI is, boring
In this mode, is it 25x25 human players? All I have seen is bots and its not very competitive. Does the mode fill up with bots until people fill the spots?
