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.

@ChrisAWJBethelCo-op is indeed available offline. I've played it. I'm pretty sure they added Starfighter Assault offline too. Both are selections in the arcade.
See the attached pictures.
@ChrisAWJBethel See the article:
After 2+ Years of Free Content, the Vision for Battlefront™II is Now Complete
Co-op was brought to offline play. Like I said I played it. Here's the quote from the article:
"We’re bringing the experience you get in Co-Op to offline solo play, too! Instead of teaming up with other players online, this version will let you play exclusively with and against AI on all Co-Op enabled locations. This new way to play will be included as an option in Instant Action."
@ChrisAWJBethelYou find it in the single player Arcade settings where Instant Action is. That's where you'll find Starfighter Assault offline too.
The screen shots you attached are from the main multiplayer menus.
Going to end it right here with my Final Argument. Really hope the Community Managers and others from EA and DICE read this:
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 frickin 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. 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 !!!
They 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.
@ChrisAWJBethelAnd for the record the Attack and Defend Missions in Instant Action Offline are the COOP Missions from your first picture.
