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 without connecting to DICE servers . .This will raise online and interest in the game.On behalf of the entire player community: please remove internet connection enforcement and allow people to play with bots offline.

I have to agree with OP. There is no need to buy game separately if it will be online only. Who want to play can just subscribe to EA Play service. In any case you just rent a game, when EA will decide to shut down servers, there will be nothing left.EA has so far failed to reply to a simple question, if game will be playable offline. Developers at DICE take years of hard work to develop such amazing models, mechanics, graphics that Battlefield games contain, just to be everything dumped after several years and there is nothing left for fans to keep playing this masterpiece. Unfortunately i won't be able to buy this game, If there wont be a simple offline mode. And it is quite sad that this is probably where my Battlefield veteran collection also end.

I'm starting to think that a offline mode would be wonderful. I used to be in the boat of having zero internet. I was limited to the games i could play during that time period. Especially how now days almost every game needs to be connected to the internet. Which sucks for certain people that want to play this game, or any other game for that matter, and don't have internet at all or slower internet where online play is practically difficult. Offline would be a huge positive for the game. But, if it doesn't have it. oh well, no real big loss there.

@Forkbeard84 First of all, BF 2042 will NOT have a Singleplayer campaign.But it's been confirmed that there will be new AI Soldiers (aka Bots) included in the game, which means you can play alone or even with a squad of friends (+the rest of you team being filled with AI Soldiers) against a full enemy team of AI soldiers. To test new stuff ect. or just mess around.Even tho if you could play alone with only Bots, we don't know if this is possible completely offline, since you might still play on a multiplayer map.Greets,Trav

sadly I’m with you. Just stupid that we can’t at least practice offline. Battlefield five and battlefield one at least has campaign. But I’ve always hated that we couldn’t practice with bots offline. Especially considering fewer and fewer people playing when the new game comes out. Takes ages to match make if at all. So if they ever want to sale more they really need to think of what op said.

@rouvioThere is absolutely nothing wrong with multiplayer in Battlefield series. This is where Battlefield shine, I totally agree. But some fans, like me, have been asking for the simple offline mode for years. Like dedicated offline sandbox mode/practice range which has nothing to do with progression in multiplayer (like Instant Action mode in Star wars Battlefront 2). We are just tired of "online only" games where developers/publishers decide to shut down servers after few years and we cannot play with game anymore. I want this cool weapons, gadgets and vehicles to stay so I can fool around in some dedicated offline mode, even when multiplayer servers dont exist anymore.If this game will have that mode, than I will instant buy ultimate edition, otherwise it's not worth it in my opinion, because I will be locked out of the content after few years.

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

@Mephiticshepard I've been playing Battlefield since 1999. The very first Codename Eagle after that in the Battlefield 1942, Vietnam, 2.2142 lineup. But after the release of Frostbite and console support, they removed the bots as the consoles were under heavy load.
You're wrong, Battlefield was a single and multiplayer game.

@SOCOMDEATHDEALR Well, what about DICE services. They will not be able to be turned on for years because sooner or later they will also be turned off in order to raise them online to a new battlefield and suffer the same story as with the old Battlefield. We need bots to be offline as well. Since we have been asking for this since 2010.

@HawkeyeAM47 There is a lot of fun online, but imagine a person has no internet or just wants to play alone without internet. Bots save this.

@Forkbeard84 I'm afraid to say, but I think we will have a forced internet connection. We need bots for offline mode (LAN\Offline). Because it's fun and has always been the format for Battlefield (Lines 2)

@TTZ_Dipsy I think there will be a forced internet connection. But I know there are 2 types of bots. Self-learning and ordinary.
Self-learning - Config / Service
Regular bots - Config
We've all been waiting since 2010 to add bots for offline. We needed all this.

Always online is just another DRM that the pirates will still bypass.
Might as well make the game better for those who pay.
