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.

@Trokey66 No I just ignore troll posts from those who really want the game to fail.

@Jesse165And who is that then? Lack of an offline 'bot' mode in and of itself will not cause the game to fail.

@Trokey66 It will when the game is completely unplayable when the servers are down on EA/DICE's end.

It is a simple fact and nothing you say will ever change that.

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!

@Jesse165 Agreed 100%. Given the extreme issues EA game servers have experienced this year, it seems like a no brainer that offline play should be enabled for a game that has AI bots. Battlefront 2 did it. Battlefield 2042 should as well.

@Jesse165 So 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!
