Hi @toffee012 This particular Battlefield game is online-only. The solo/coop mode runs on a server, so won't run offline, and you need a multiplayer subscription to play due to that.
ETA: In this case you might want to contact the retailer to ask about their refund policy.
@toffee012 It's just the way they decided to do things for this game with everything requiring connecting to a server to play.
While I do honestly feel for you that you can't play the game offline, the choices are basically either getting a subscription or trying to obtain a refund from where you bought it.
Also, I'm not an EA employee I'm afraid. I just volunteer to help on the forums.
I got it years ago just playing something else.
It is a great shame they did thing so wrong o. This game no campaign as some bf game campaigns where great to play
