And there goes zombie mode...
I'm not ashamed to say it but I was using Zombie mode to grind out T1 skins for my least favourite weapons but now DICE realized they just gave ANOTHER xp farming method basically and it went poof al...

Yeah the "vocal minority" are the ones ok with solo/coop getting full xp and progression. It sure isn't longtime BF Vets.
@Zeagles21 If they had made a better game, that runs properly, and was actually balanced I would play much more pvp. As it is, I don't want to do crossplay with pc people, and I can't find a crossplay off game on series x so solo/coop is the better option. It runs so smoothly and I can play a stress free game for fun.
I play on PS5 and very rarely run into many problems, some games I win, some games I lose......every now and then I take a MAJOR butt kickin. Does the game have issues, absolutely, but all in all I have had much fun playing it. My biggest complaint is paying $120 for a game that included a 1 year Battlepass and we have yet to see any kind of Roadmap or communication with that. Zombies still have no place in BF tho, that is just my opinion.
- @Zeagles21 I agree with you that zombie mode had no place in this game at all, and I too wonder about how that battle pass is going to work.
Bots/AI should never find itself in the multiplayer experience. It is pretty apparent that players will take advantage (glitch the s**t out) of AI to farm XP or get unlocks faster in PORTAL (with bot logic options) than in CQ or BT mode. Conquest and Breakthrough are nothing but NOT interesting with predictable AI to be perfectly honest. Unlocking anything for less than avid players with the current game flow (because of not really great map design) in Conquest is a Nightmare difficulty level to accomplish.
After getting all the unlocks fast on the BOT FARMS... there is zero incentive to grind/play Conquest with bots back again... but obviously, devs don`t see it that way - because there are zero internal tests probably. I feel zero incentive to grind for a gloomy skin or do weekly missions honestly either. What players expect is a MULTIPLAYER EXPERIENCE in a first-person shooter. Without VoIP, elaborate Squad Management, even Scoreboard (who could have thought), global chat - how is this even a Multiplayer experience with Bots dominating all over the place?
It`s nothing else than STATS PADDING (a term from BF2) on lifeless AI!! How hard is it to predict what AI in regular matches does to the gameplay?
This IP is being ruined by flawed decision-making. It feels like some intern is trying to figure out the game flow and bot function in the game honestly. Battlefield is a sandbox in Conquest on its own. There is no need to borrow from other titles or the classic game modes will be wiped out (destroyed by no classes or pointless map design) and replaced by other game modes like a Zombie Mode. This is all we want, right?
Leave the bots only for the offline experience, build a separate offline progression system there or grant all the unlocks for testing purposes.
Zombie Mode and Stats Padding on AI is being promoted - simply amazing! AI in multiplayer (I`m not talking about extraction game mode that doesn`t belong in BF genre anyways) equals Stats Padding and uninteresting gameplay. Bots in MP don`t balance the game or anything. End of story.

with the ability to pick any weapon/gadget 1 (specialist)/ gadget 2 this is the closest thing to balanced that battlefield has ever seen especially with the plus system to customize your gun on the fly
