I know this is a bit like a Clone Post, but I'll clarify.My first Question: Will there be an Official EA/DICE Campaign Mode?If so, how long will it be (roughly)?If NOT, Why Not?My Second Question: Will there be any way for Players to introduce their own Scenarios and/or Content?What I mean by this is, will there be a Scripting Mode available in the same way as in Arma III. Will User's be able to make their own Combat Scenarios for them to share with Friends and the rest of the Community.My Third Question: Will there be a PvE Mode with Players being able to set a number of Bots to fight and just go against just Bots only?Just about anyone can make an Online Multiplayer First Person Shooter, there's over 70 Titles in the <£5 GBP Section on Steam, and there are even a few completely and utterly Free dotted around the internet. The real Money is in the PvE Content. If that's Campaign Mode's or if that's PvE Multiplayer Mode's, that's where you earn the Money. So will there be Dedicated PvE Servers?Second to this, it should be noted, there will be some Players who are not used to playing any Battlefield Title previously, so will feel overwhelmed easily by other Players.You want £100 GBP, so we want an Outstanding Product. You want our Money, you need to Earn it.

@Skill4Reel Ha this is true sadly a bot might actually revive or heal me when I'm feet away from them and not run in the opposite direction, way too many selfish medics that only play the class to heal themselves worried about their k/d, and they're still around to this day in BF4 still.

@GENERALZOOLPretty sure DICE confirmed there will be no singleplayer campaign because they wanted to focus on multiplayer, as it is DICE's strong suit.There hasn't been said anything about a potential "Scripting Mode" or anything similar to that so far.For your last question, we know that the following modes will be available to play:"Multiplayer – AI soldiers are used for server-filling capabilities, ensuring your matches remain full, no matter your location.Co-Op – Allows you to play together with friends, against AI soldiers.Solo – If you wish to perfect your skills for multiplayer, you can even play alone against AI soldiers."So Co-Op and Solo are essentially the PVE modes you asked for, which will be available.You can read more about it here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-Announcements/Battlefield-Briefing-Welcome-to-2042/m-p/10415599#M1

To answer question #2: No, there will be no scripting/modding of any kind allowed.

There are so many times when playing this series when I've wished my human teammates were bots because then they would probably be useful. It doesn't bother me at all that bots will be in the multiplayer for this game. Maybe now there will actually be some action on objectives in the capture/defend zones instead of people congregating on a hilltop somewhere watching their team lose. Yes. I am looking at you defending teams in Operations on Monte Grappa in Battlefield 1.

@GENERALZOOL Why would you even ask that? We already know there is no campaign.

Campaign Mode - Will we see one? And, will there be a Dedicated PvE Mode?

For your last question, we know that the following modes will be available to play:

"Multiplayer – AI soldiers are used for server-filling capabilities, ensuring your matches remain full, no matter your location.
Co-Op – Allows you to play together with friends, against AI soldiers.
Solo – If you wish to perfect your skills for multiplayer, you can even play alone against AI soldiers."

So Co-Op and Solo are essentially the PVE modes you asked for, which will be available.

Hello @GENERALZOOL

No Single Player Campaing in BATTLEFIELD 2042 . There will be some sort of 'Story' in Multiplayer Seasons.

We already know that 1 Year will have 4 Seasons = 4 Battle Passes = 4 New Specialists

Each Season will have its own 'Story' so i guess that we will need to complete some assignments through that Season as it will continue to another one. 🙂

Well that sucks.

It would really benefit the Franchise (with the absence of a Campaign) to have Tactical Scenarios that Players could make and share with the Community.

Would you happen to have any idea on whether we will get XP Points or whatever for PvE Combat?

1. No there won't be a Singleplayer campaign in Battlefield 2042. But no statement on it yet why there isn't.
But the campaign was always just a small part of the whole BF thing, and most of my friends i asked for example they never even touched it in previous BF's.
2. There won't be any sort of Scripting or Modding allowed.
3. There will be something (already confirmed) like it's own "Bot Mode" in this Battlefield title.
There you can play either Solo or within a Squad of freinds in Coop against a full team of AI Soldiers (Bots) and the rest of your team will also be filled with those.
