Do you think bots should become a staple feature in future BF’s?

BF2042 had a rocky start to say the least.   I personally think if bots had not been in the game at the start what few people were playing the game would have been able to. But this isn’t the only...

@xeliw42651 Yes, I like the game having the bots and I play against them solo quite often.

I'd actually like to be able to start a match with just a single player and AI, then have the AI players retired as real ones join.

Yes I agree, just the same way most of the Official Portal Weekly Experiences currently operate.

Think how much time we would save in AOW lobbies with a one player start.

I have been calling for this to happen for a while now, the sooner the better, more time playing less time waiting to play I say.

    @RayD_O1 That's what I was thinking. It'd help out in regions where there are fewer players too.

      Absolutely, I am all for getting the games started.

      There is nothing worse than waiting in a lobby trying to achieve the minimum player count watching as players leave out of frustration / boredom.

      Once a round is started they can fill up pretty quickly and as you rightly say some players never get a game in their regions, that really should not be happening in a BF title in 2023.

      I would like to point out that today, I got revived a lot more by the bots than other players.

      That alone places a lot of value for the bots

        Yeah that has been my experience recently too.

    @RayD_O1 Absolutely! If DICE wants to sell the next game in smaller markets, they need to look AI backfill. I can barely find a game in Oceania in off-peak times, an Conquest only in peak times.
