@Jesse165And who is that then? Lack of an offline 'bot' mode in and of itself will not cause the game to fail.
Yes I know there is already another thread for this but this post is too important to be buried so I am making it's own topic here.
And I seriously hope those from EA and DICE fully read this to understand why this is important.
I can completely understand and accept having to be online and connected to the servers in order to play with friends.
What we are asking for is that the Solo SinglePlayer Bot Matches be playable offline. That's it.
How does us playing offline effect others in any way whatsoever?
The only correct answer is that it doesn't.
It doesn't take away any "online features" either because we are still playing the Same Maps and Modes as everyone else.
Heck the Solo Bot Matches themselves are already in the game from the start!
All we are asking for is that we can eventually play them offline as well for those that have slow internet and especially for when the servers themselves are down.
The servers will go down eventually and probably even at release. They are still broken in Both TitanFall games and on Xbox at least they are still down for Battlefields 4 and 1 as well. This is Unacceptable!
The servers will probably be overwhelmed for Day 1 just like the launches for every other multiplayer game so far.
If so then the game will be completely unplayable no matter how good your own internet is... Unless we can play it offline.
This is why they are needed the most. I really want to get the Ultimate Edition to support DICE for adding the Bot Matches finally. But a big part of me doesn't want to pay $100+ for something that is completely unplayable when the servers are down... It really is as simple as that in the end.
Please DICE don't let this game die like those others have. Please let us play the Solo Matches with AI Soldiers Offline!

@Jesse165So the games have Failed because the XBox servers are having a wobble totally ignoring the fact that PS servers, although not perfect by any stretch, are fine?
What this really needs is another thread on the subject......
Oh look, you already have done!
The games failed because no one is currently playing them.
Just because a game is being sunset doesn't make it a failure!
By the God's.......
BF4 and BF1 a failure because xbox servers are having a wobble? Priceless!
And @ChrisAWJBethel comparing a software license to slavery just blows my mind, I mean really?
And you expect DICE to listen with arguments like this?
2042 servers are gonna be open for a long time.. like, a LONG time so I don't think you need to worry about them just pulling the plug without fair warning
@ChrisAWJBethelThat is EXACTLY what we are trying to do. Only those who want the game to fail would disagree with this and call Offline AI Soldiers a bad thing.
Complete and utter Gentleman's Dangly Bits!
And you guys accused me of trolling!
@ChrisAWJBethelI can't believe you tried to play the Race Card, attempting to say that a game developer exercising their 'right' to do what they will with their property--and you having agreed to it, beforehand--is like slavery! Are you nuts??? There is absolutely NO comparison between what slaves endured and your whining because someone took their 'ball' (game) and went home with it. Unbelievable! I was taking you seriously, before, but now I am completely over it.
Just so you know, I am actually very much *for* having offline bots. I've said it many times in this forum. I just can't support you in how you think you own, and somehow should be able to dictate terms, of someone else's property. Their House, their rules.
It's just like if you went to a paintball field and purchased an Unlimited Play pass to play paintball. After two years, the owners decide to close up shop and retire. It's their business, and they can run--or close it--anytime they choose. The TOS you signed states that they may end play or shut down the business at anytime, but here you are whining because they closed--and somehow think you are entitled to force them to keep the doors open, just so you can keep playing. Sorry, but you don't own that business, the land, the equipment, or the labor of the people who would have to keep working in order for you to continue playing there.
This has gotten too ridiculous. This entitlement mentality stuff...I'm over it. Feel free to say what you need to say, but I'm done with that subject.
EA & DICE should continue to do whatever they feel is necessary for the betterment of their business. If you and I don't approve of their actions, we can always withhold our money. They are free to conduct their business as they choose, and we are free to give our money to someone else. Freedom on both sides.
@ChugKendallThat was beautiful and absolutely right.
We can keep giving them reasons to make the Solo Matches playable offline as many times as we want.
But in the end it's EA and DICE's decision whether we like it or not.
Being realistic about the possible/probable reasons why there isn't an offline 'bot' mode is not the same as being against such a mode (unless of course, any later introduction has an impact on the online experiance).
Until one know what cannot or has not been done, one canint suggest what can or should be done.
I care not a jot about offline 'bots' in the same way I don't care about TDM or hardcore but understand some, bizzarely, enjoy them so won't actively demand they exist.
