I'm starting to think that a offline mode would be wonderful. I used to be in the boat of having zero internet. I was limited to the games i could play during that time period. Especially how now days almost every game needs to be connected to the internet. Which sucks for certain people that want to play this game, or any other game for that matter, and don't have internet at all or slower internet where online play is practically difficult.
Offline would be a huge positive for the game. But, if it doesn't have it. oh well, no real big loss there.
@lzilchetlYes, as also a hardcore Grand Strategy RTS player. i can understand. But, a counter to that would be a limit to the bots or a slider to for people to choose the amount of bots can be in the game with you as you play offline. Granted you could just play team deathmatch or the lower player count game modes that will most likely show up. There will be more game modes then just Conquest and Rush.

@lzilchetlDue to the autonomous mode, they will receive a large profit. Since this game will be bought in large quantities for the sake of offline bots. I've talked to a lot of people, and they are ready to buy the game for the sake of offline bots.
If that is true then I truly hope you do get an offline version - we don't actually know at the moment I guess. I don't have an issue with that, but in my opinion it's unlikely. I just reckon that more and more of the processing is undertaken server-side these days and re-writing code for that all to happen on the client is essentially coding a new game where many of the potential players will not have a machine capable of processing that data. Lets face it, if you have a top end machine you've got an internet connection anyway haven't you. I reckon they already have their profit forecasts sorted - 15 million players (BFV ownership?) x average price of the game £60 (after promotions etc over time) thats best part of £1 billion before you factor in microsales/ DLCs etc. I think they can probably manage without your mate's money? Could be wrong, and I hope so for your sake, but I have a few doubts.
(PS, EA/Dice don't want the game to last forever - you need to buy the next one in two years time)
