Feedback - Make Solo/Coop playable offline
While I know that the focus for feedback right now is maps, I hope the devs do not forget making bots playable offline. I am a player which lives in a country that has a very unstable internet infra...

@Freelancery if they disabled progression like you said I don't see why they couldn't implement it.
The harder thing would be trying to get it to work with some form of offline progression and synching the offline data with the online profile when you do get a connection, but a lot of games have this, and you aren't asking for this more difficult aspect anyway.
I would say if they were to add offline bots then they should really upgrade them a bit, make them sprint from cover to cover more, scout out enemies or the next location / cover to sprint to before moving, move together in squads. Just some simple behaviour changes would go a long way to making them look / play better - right now there are times where you see 20 bots jogging slowly whilst looking around in random directions in open fields looking like idiots. Hopefully they improve the AI over time since they appear so frequently in matches.
Also, they should really add some basic AI instructions for the vehicles they don't currently use. My understanding is they don't use the fighter planes in BF2042, but they will use the old propeller planes in BF42 portal mode, someone correct me if I'm wrong.
@Ga-Knomboe_Boy I agree with your suggestions. Simplest change they could do is allow bots to sprint so that they 'feel' more like players. I've heard that they hired a new AI programmer so hopefully that means we see improvements to bots and we finally get an offline mode.
