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...

@Trokey66 Sorry 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.

@Jesse165Although they occur, they aren't 'unplayable' on PS.....

You could always play a different game.

    @Trokey66 Why is 'playing a different game' your solution? He has the right to play this game and give feedback just like EA has the right to completely ignore that feedback.

    @Trokey66 @CyberDyme

    How about you both try again later once you have a solution that isn't "play a different game".

    It's not my fault when their servers are completely broken.

    As I said you could have the best internet connection in the world but it doesn't matter one bit if there are no servers to play on at all !

    @Jesse165 If there is no offline 'bot' mode then it is the ONLY solution on offer if you want to play games.

    This isn't us being obtuse, simply realistic.

    That is EXACTLY why they do need to add an Offline mode for Bot Matches. Seems that you do understand the truth. You just refuse to admit it.

    @Jesse165 They don't NEED to do anything, it is their product to do with what they will and they don't HAVE to do anything because half a dozen people on the forums demand it.

    You either like it or lump it, it really is that simple.

    @Trokey66 People said the same thing about the always online DRM for the Xbox One.

    @Trokey66 Your 'being realistic' is offering an inflexible and uncompromising 'solution' designed to favor the majority and line EA's pockets at our expense.

    @ChrisAWJBethel Unless DICE decides to create an offline 'bot' mode in the future, it is not my solution, it is the ONLY solution.

    @Trokey66 Then we will do everything in our power to ensure offline bots return to Battlefield.

    Yeah, good luck with that and as long as it doesn't come at the cost of an online feature.

    @Trokey66 Well it didn't cost any "online features" when they added them to Battlefront 2 so I doubt it will here either.

    @Jesse165I'm sorry bud, didn't realise you were a DICE employee with intimate knowledge of the BF2042 project plan and how that entwines with future DICE products, you should have said sooner and saved us over 25 pages of blather.....

    @Trokey66 Don't need to be working with DICE to be smart enough to see the simple facts. If you actually played Battlefront 2 you would see the truth as well.

    Galactic and Starfighter Assault are both still there, Supremacy is there, Heroes vs Villains is still there.

    Did they take anything out of the online matches when they added the Offline Instant Action to Battlefront 2? Nope

    Everything is still there.

    @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.

    @Trokey66 Actually I do know the answer to that one.

    There was nothing unannounced after that because it's when they all started working more on Battlefield 2042 which is what they have been doing ever since.

    If they were working on anything else at the same time that they added Instant Action it was probably stuff for the main part of Battlefield 2042 such as the Solo and Coop matches that will be in the game at launch.

    All we are asking for is that they eventually make the Solo Matches for the main game and Portal playable offline even if they can't be as big as the matches using the EA/DICE Servers.

    It's really as simple as that.

    @Jesse165 I asked was that mode pre planned or a late addition, answer that with authority.

    @Trokey66 Doesn't really matter since they would have moved to Battlefield 2042 regardless of what the true answer is.

    I'd like to say it was a last second addition as a Thank You to all the Battlefront fans that stayed with the game through the end.

    But the only one who probably can give a concrete answer to that is Dennis Brännvall and I don't think he is even with DICE anymore ☹️

    @Jesse165that IS the point, no one but DICE knows, it may have been a last minute addition due to spare capacity or it could have been in the development plan from the beginning.

    Either way, you cannot assume that because it happened in SWBF 2, it will happen in BF2042.

    I'm not buying the game until offline bot support is added, period. Neither are three of my friends with whom I usually team up. 

    Granted, we may not be representative of the general gaming population, but I'm sick and tired of being LOCKED OUT of the games I purchase by server issues. 

    I also refunded Back 4 Blood for the same reason. 

    I'm sorry but enough is enough already.

    @Strelok_1284 Don't be sorry. Be mad. Be outraged at the fact AAA developers/publishers don't care about game preservation.
