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...

@ArchAngeL-PCX It was a huge letdown for me to find out the we don't have true offline bots.

Initially when they announced bots I was really hyped, we've been asking for so long and they finally return in BF2042. I was honestly expecting the same approach as in Star Wars Battlefront and Star Wars Battlefront 2 both being 100% playable offline with bots. Battlefront 2 got a lot of hate because of loot boxes but having bots that are fully playable offline was so good. I'm not that into Star Wars but it was fun for a limited time. My hope was that the bots would soon be featured in Battlefield.

I was sure they would port them to Battlefield V and I was again disappointed.

Maybe they'll listen and introduce offline support for BF2042.. but I'm not hoping for much at this point. ☹️

If they do add offline support I'll be sure to buy the game, if not then definitely no. Like I've said, I've been burned too many times already.

@Strelok_1284 Yes, I haven't purchased a Battlefield game since 2016 for the reasons you stated. I have always looked for that epic large-scale multiplayer game with combined arms the can be played offline by yourself and with friends. All of them were mostly on PC, and I grew up playing console games. This presented a problem for me, one that I never thought of addressing until 2017. I had played with and enjoyed bots in games like Super Smash Bros., TimeSplitters Future Perfect, and Jedi Outcast, but I never went out of my way to advocate for them. I now realized my gaming 'career', while enjoyable, could have been much better with the consistent inclusion of offline bots.

@ChrisAWJBethel Sorry, I don’t know which country or region you are from, or what the network environment is in your area, but I suggest that you can wait for a while or buy a relatively cheap standard version, although "Battlefield 2042" You need to connect to the Internet to play, but the game does have AI functions. After so many years, AI has finally returned. This makes me very excited. I think we can still play games with intelligent AI in the early stage. Although it needs to be connected to the Internet, why can't we temporarily play the current version and continue to make our demands to EA? These two do not affect each other. The game is originally entertainment-oriented, and you can also enjoy the game with AI, but it needs to be temporarily connected to the Internet. That's it. I think we should not embarrass ourselves too much, and enjoy it with intelligent AI. The fun of the game is important. But I also support the petitions of you and other people who love AI or offline games. I hope you and others can have fun in "Battlefield 2042" and wish you a happy life!
