I know I'm not alone and I know that this particular sub community might not be receptive to this idea, but I don't buy competitive multiplayer games to play against bots.I don't want to have AI on the field at all, no matter their numbers or what they are doing. They are a distracting nuisance at best.The whole point of these bots is to fill in empty spaces on servers until real players join, but assuming we still have a server browser I know that I just will never join a server that isn't almost completely full to avoid bots, I know I won't be alone in this, so I can see a future where these half empty servers just never fill up and we get huge queues in full servers.Now, if we had the Rental Server Program return and you let us disable bots that would be one thing, but you've already said that players won't be able to disable it, so here we are.

@xSG-17x Unfortunately, there are many, including DICE, who think this could be a good idea.I, for one, am prepared to wait and see how it works before chucking my teddies out of the cot.

@SOCOMDEATHDEALRAlso new is the introduction of AI Soldiers (Artificial Intelligence) to the series. As a multiplayer-only experience, it’s important for us to let you play Battlefield 2042 when and how you want. Here is what that looks like in the All-Out Warfare experience of Conquest and Breakthrough: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.https://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-Announcements/Battlefield-Briefing-Welcome-to-2042/m-p/10415599#M1

@SOCOMDEATHDEALR Sounds like a bunch of mental gymnastics to me.

Many apologies to our south American brothers. Didn't mean to present my post as an attack, merely an observation based on years of problematic multiplayer issues that have been experienced for years.

@xSG-17x I'm with you. If DICE releases BotField 2042 I'll be looking for a different game to play also.

DICE, please reconsider your stance on AI bots in large modes.

Too early to read a lot dude...just point me to where it says no option to 'turn off/disable/no ability to roll the game without bots'.

Sounds like bots in Conquest and Breakthrough to me.

No clue man, still nothing says...100% no way to roll any map without bots.
I'm not worried about it or this game making bank in sales......me and my clan already have plans to party up, group up and roll with and against the AI. 🍻

TheVerge asked EA for clarification and got this reply.
"EA will be backfilling those servers with bots to keep games populated, the company confirms to The Verge, and there’s currently no plan to let you turn that off."

@SOCOMDEATHDEALRI edited my above post with more sources, confirming bots.
At the end of the day, it's still not 100% that bots will be forced....with zero option/s to disable etc.
It may very well be the case, but until EA/DICE puts that into the notes, I don't rely on 3rd parties for info about any game.

@SOCOMDEATHDEALR So far we have multiple sources saying bots will be in Conquest and Breakthrough, and zero sources saying bots can be disabled. If you have any sources stating the contrary, I'd be interested in reading them
