@tyl0413Fair comment. I'll back out of the thread and leave the topic alone. I think the point,some including me, have been trying to make is that the AI soldiers that feature in 2042 are not bots as you know them. They are probably the biggest bit of innovation Dice have produced in a long time. They have to be as they will play alongside you, follow orders, jump in vehicles and have a skill level similar to real players. KDR will be allocated the same with the AI soldiers as with real players, The concept of the game will fall over if they to not measure up to real players. The bots we have seen until now have been cannon fodder. It is a significant change. The vast majority of computers/consoles have nowhere near the processing power to run even a partially populated local server with bots with that sophistication. This relies heavily on cloud processing, its not something that can just be turned on for offline mode, online access is an essential part of the architecture of the game. My point has always been that the game would need to go back to the drawing board if you are going to get your offline not very AI "bots" and that is certainly not going to happen before launch, if ever. I am completely impartial and have no reason to try and scupper your chances of achieving this, but I , and others become frustrated because some have unrealistic expectations and then seem to become indignant when we try to point that out.
But, go for it.
I'm out (I promise)
