The AI Soldiers sound fantastic and very useful. I like that we can configure them for multiplayer games, coop games and solo games. That gives a lot flexibility.
I could see using the AI soldiers to easily seed a server and then program it so the AI soldiers are retired when enough real players arrive.
And I could see playing against them solo as a fun and more laid back learning experience.
I could see playing coop against AI soldiers with friends for a strategic/tactical learning experience. You could have the bots set in a certain scenario and each time you fail, you can refine your tactics until you finally overcome them.
I'm very excited about the potential of using AI Soldiers in the game.

The fact how they are trying to sell the specialists in this livestream shows, that they dont even understand, why people are playing this series. They learned nothing from the mess with BFV. Hype is gone.

Some interesting tidbits and clarification there. Bit concerned that ammo/health crates seen to be pitted against other gadgets in the equipment slot though, especially if those gadgets add to the fun factor.
Where will health and ammo come from?
- 4 years ago@Trokey66 Ammo and health are pretty important so someone will need to choose to carry them. It sounds like it will be up to the players. I suppose it could devolve into a fun at all costs mentality.

I can see how it can be implemented well, but my big problem is that they gave them identities. The Specialist system would have been a lot better if it was a kit you could assign to your custom character.

I'm unsure, I really didn't play BF1 or BFV at all, WWI-WWII games are so over done, I've literally just been playing BF4 for the past 7 years now when I wanna play battlefield, 2042 is looking like a bo2 era BF4 and it looks good to me, I just know how the specialists will play or act so I'm a little sketched, how BF1 and V went makes me weary to want to pre-order 2042 though so far it looks the most promising in years I don't know if it could live up to what the old battlefields had

FYI they used to have 128 AI multi-play but scrapped it? but that was when we were running 56k dial up lol

Custom servers? Can we adjust game options? Can we enable/disable bots? Set bot difficulty?
@Forkbeard84 That's the point of wingsuits and flying maneuvers. Use the sky to your advantage to move from place to place, avoid tanks.
