Let people play with bots in Conquest mode without internet connection.

We all expected BF2042 to continue line 2 like it did with Battlefield 1942, 1972 (Vietnam), 2, Special Forces, 2142. We all want to remove forced internet connection so people can play with bots wit...

@ChrisAWJBethelDoes that mean that Aston Martin, Rolls Royce and Jaguar should consider me when making cars or in reality do I accept that I can only afford my Seat?

Should Rolex or Cartier consider me when they make watches or should I just accept the fact that my Timex will suffice?

Should Gordan Ramsey look at his restaurant pricing for me or should I just settle for my Friday night Fish and Chips?

Businesses should cater to their customers as best they can but don't have to cater to everyone.

Businesses will ALWAYS consider what customer wants. Without customers there's no businesses. It's a golden market rule.

@dragonslayerxxx1 Business don't *always* consider what customers want, unfortunately. I have been a store manager for a couple of international companies that failed to adapt and change with the times, and they went bankrupt. They wanted to force consumers to adapt to *them,* instead of them adapting to the changing needs of the *consumers.* By the time they figured it out, it was too late to restructure and recover. For example, Gamestop is trying to do it now, but as soon as consoles switch to no disc drive, I feel that Gamestop will be done--unless they can successfully make the switch to collectibles, toys, game-related merchandise and clothing (which they have been working to do, for the last few years).

@ChugKendall I agree, developers are making it so that they can receive endless income by closing their game and creating a new one. But we pay for the game to get eternal pleasure and not temporary as it happened with all Battlefield on the Frostbite engine. Offline Conquest with bots (As it was in Battlefield on the RefractorEngine) will give us the opportunity to play the game forever and be happy and we will know that we pay for the game to play it as much as we want and not temporarily.

@AristarhUcolov2 To be fair, "eternal pleasure" is not what EA wants, when it comes to trying to sell you a new game every couple of years. They have to make new games, and make more money, to be able to stay in business. One game version can make or break a studio, as has happened before. I would hate to see that. I do want EA to give me a great product, and listen to suggestions from the gamer community, but I do understand that they have to have repeat business to stay afloat.

Battlefield 4 is now completely unplayable on Xbox because of server problems. If there was ever a reason to make the Bot matches available offline this is it.
