"It's simple. [NO-FORCED-INTERNET-CONNECTION]"
I'm puzzled and genuinely curious brother. I'm not bashing and if it sounds like it I'm truly sorry - it is not my intention at all nor do I try to do it.
So the very basic core of the game is multi-play. It is designed to be played with multiple players across a network, likely the internet (tho a lan play would a a blast :D ). How can you possibly complain about not adding a feature to a game that is basically about internet play?
Again - genuinely curious. Not laughing or anything else.
@rouvioThere is absolutely nothing wrong with multiplayer in Battlefield series. This is where Battlefield shine, I totally agree. But some fans, like me, have been asking for the simple offline mode for years. Like dedicated offline sandbox mode/practice range which has nothing to do with progression in multiplayer (like Instant Action mode in Star wars Battlefront 2). We are just tired of "online only" games where developers/publishers decide to shut down servers after few years and we cannot play with game anymore. I want this cool weapons, gadgets and vehicles to stay so I can fool around in some dedicated offline mode, even when multiplayer servers dont exist anymore.
If this game will have that mode, than I will instant buy ultimate edition, otherwise it's not worth it in my opinion, because I will be locked out of the content after few years.
Wait we can't practice offline? Why not? That should be an obvious feature of the game.
Pretty sure they confirmed we'd be able to play offline
Always online is just another DRM that the pirates will still bypass.
Might as well make the game better for those who pay.
@Forkbeard84 First of all, BF 2042 will NOT have a Singleplayer campaign.
But it's been confirmed that there will be new AI Soldiers (aka Bots) included in the game, which means you can play alone or even with a squad of friends (+the rest of you team being filled with AI Soldiers) against a full enemy team of AI soldiers. To test new stuff ect. or just mess around.
Even tho if you could play alone with only Bots, we don't know if this is possible completely offline, since you might still play on a multiplayer map.
Greets,

If you've been asking for years and it still hasn't happened, how haven't you got the hint yet? It's not happening, no matter how entitled you feel.
I honestly don't care one way or the other, but *dot dot dot* If they do add it, it needs to be a long time out. Like a year or so, as that's how long it might take them to get the core/portal working and balanced properly. Also, progression must be removed from it. Just needs to be an option for those few who want it and not a xp farming mode.
