@Trokey66 It's not the same thing. There are no two different versions of 2042 to choose from. There are no two distinctive market groups to sell it to. We're all buying the same game. You payed for it, you decide what you want from it. Sure, devs have control over their vision and some of technicalities but they SHOULD listen to YOU.
You think DICE came with modern setting on their own? Please-they got burnt so badly with BF5 and their ''ideas'' that they immediately backtracked to first safest haven they knew will get them back up. And not coincidentally, that safe haven is what players (consumers) always liked.
Besides, you're not targeted niche for those cars in a first place.

@Trokey66Sorry but with the Server Problems I am seeing now on Battlefield 4 it makes me realize once again that the OP is completely right. Even if its not at launch the Offline Bot Matches NEED to be added as soon as possible so that we can still play the game when the servers are down.
Doesn't matter how good your internet is at all if there are no servers to play on.
Hi @Jesse165,
While the option to go offline and still have fun with BF4 these day would have been ideal, its many years ago that EA cared to make more money out a game they released back in Oct 2013. So though we are many that still plays that game with great joy (myself included) then we also have to admit that time has gone and much about it has become outdated.
If BFV had been with modern weapons in a modern setting, then I would think most of us BF3/BF4 fans would have moved on. But with the mysterious repeated old historical battle titles from EA that BF1 and BFV were, we have been left behind till now...
As some posters above points out, there are no long-term financial incentive for EA to make a game too long lived. Unfortunately.

@dragonslayerxxx1And perhaps people with poor interwebs who want offline 'bots' are not the target niche for DICE.
Parallels can dawn.
Lol, can't argue with that... I don't even know who's pulling the strings in this story anymore - EA or DICE.
Yeah, good luck with that and as long as it doesn't come at the cost of an online feature.
@Jesse165ahhh so you had intimate knowledge of the SWBF project plan as well!
Was that mode always planned in or a 'last minute addition'?
If it was last minute, was it as a result of spare capacity or did something 'unannounced' not make it?
As someone with obvious inside information, you'll know the answers to these questions.
