Update - September 3: We wanted to give you a heads up on a change we've made to Falck based on findings from our Technical Playtest last month. A big finding was that Falck's S21 Syrette Pistol was ...

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?
- @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.
Another one of my takeaways from this is that this looks to be a very vehicle focused game. With the larger maps, it doesn't seem like infantry will be able to run from point to point as much. They'll either need to drive or ride in a vehicle to get to where they want to go.
If players won't notice how important support and medics are, then you will just have to do it all by yourself. Sounds like this battlefield will screw teamplay.

Cool, because I rather be the team.
I miss the BF2 days playing with AI and having a friend join. PC crashed and burn since then, so got my ears sticking up with AI in the game. Especially the co-op and if a friend can join your solo game it would make the game a must have for me.
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
