Add bots to solve empty lobby problem in official matchmaking

Hi there

Would the devs please consider adding bots to official matchmaking matches (such as Rush and breakthrough)  so that there is no waiting period? 

I do not want to play rush on my own hosted portal server because I do not get weapon progression unlocks and the XP is limited, but when I use the official matchmaking for rush I am unable to play because there are too little players to start a match. 

This is a major problem in South Africa, some of us are not patient enough to wait 30 mins in order to start a game.

  • No they are added, the devs added a minimum human player count limit for the matches to start (64 human players required) otherwise you will sit and wait for players to join. The problem is they created this game with the full intention of it being advertised/sold as default crossplay on and designed around that and not taking into consideration >5% of the community wants to stay to one console specifically.

  • Yeah this would be very helpful in cross-play off on series x. I say after 5 minutes of waiting for players to join it should just start the game with bots.

    There are no bots in the Rush games and weekly modes. Those ones would be easier to start if bots were added, (I’m talking about the versions you have to match make for on portal.)

  • Alternatively, can we please have the ability to choose our region?

    The modes are amazing, I've been joining through my brother over in Europe. I'd like to be able to queue by myself from time to time though.

  • +1 for this,

    Also very much needed for Breakthrough and Hazard Zone.

    I'm level 52 and haven't been able to play 1 of either

  • We need to add bots to maps from Portal. Very often, online gameplay fails because there are problems with the server or the servers are empty. Please be able to fill the Portal maps with bots as you do on BF 2042 maps. In fact, this is one of the best options in the new Battlefield that has never been before!
