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.

@ChrisAWJBethelIt cannot be an offline version and multiplayer at the same time unless you mean a lan game, or could rent own server and password it or set to only allow preselected players and finally unless you just mean real vs bot players but that would be pretty cr@p to be honest

@bishtop Why would that even be a thing? One is online, one isn't. It's not like they were designed to run simultaneously. And if you think it's a bad idea for reasons people in this thread have stated previously, we've already refuted your claims of 'bots are bad, humans are good.'

@ChrisAWJBethel I think a friend in the front said it very well. We should be more rational now. The official return to AI in Battlefield 2042 is already an improvement. Let’s not give up our offline game appeal. Hope the official will join in the follow-up update. , We also need to understand the official and give them more time.

@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!

EDIT
So you mean an offline version of the maps we have on multiplayer but with bots. It would initially sound like a good idea, but im certain that the bots could never be programmed to act/fight anywhere near as close as to what we humans would do. For firing practice yes maybe fine but it would not simulate what you would experience on online play
