Scoring when killing bots
How will this be implemented? Will I get a kill if taking down a bot? If so, this might be exploited and be potentially unfair assuming bots will be easier to kill than human players.
Forum Discussion
@GPaulstr Since a bot just fills the empty slots of a server, it will probably count as just another kill, or maybe the points will be cut in half, there will be more information on this closer to the launch of the game,
The Co-op and Solo versions of bot playing will most likely be the same as killing a normal person, but to prevent farming maybe those points won't go towards progress on guns since someone could farm bots, get the best weapons in the game then join real-time and real-player servers and have an advantage
I'd suggest waiting till this info comes out, it may even come out on the next information day [22nd of July], this information is not conclusive and is based upon suspoicon since there is no hard evidence on what it will be

@YT_Positive Well they have confirmed that we will get XP for Solo and Coop matches so that we can unlock everything at our own pace whether it's through multiplayer or not.
Whether you plan to farm bots or not before going into multiplayer matches is your own choice. Don't punish everyone else just because you personally don't want to do it this way.
I for one will be leveling up by playing Solo Conquest matches on each map to learn their layouts, what vehicles are on each map, what loadouts work best, etc...
Then I will try the multiplayer matches and see how it goes from there.

- @Jesse165 Where did they confirm you can still get XP in Solo? Being able to progress in Solo sounds too good to be true.

@Jesse165 is fully correct that you can play in full solo mode against the AI bots and that the accumulation of XP and weapon accessories, rankings, unlocks, what have you, will count from there to also be used later in matches on public servers with other players later. EA explained this in one of the first Q&A sessions they hosted at the EA Play Live sessions earlier this month. You have several YouTube videos from that session, so all official and well confirmed.
But true, it opens up for the potential of players boosting and exploiting some functionality bugs that we are bound to have when the game launches with the bots...
- @CyberDyme Wow, didn't expect the devs to allow that in Solo. Since Solo won't be an offline feature sadly, I think that's a good compromise. It gives players of all levels of skill to gain XP at their own pace, but yeah the downside is that players can just boost against bots. Ah well, I ain't complaining.

- What is the difference between a Single player v bots mode and being a single player on multiple player with only bots.
From what I am seeing not a lot.- @DingoKillr It would all depend on how aggressive and 'good' bots are I suppose.

From what I am seeing not a lot.Absolutely right @DingoKillr ,
From all that EA have shared so far, we human players have zero control on who we are being stacked up against. And they deliberately even explained that bots would be used to fill up servers if no humans around. Meaning your scenario there is very likely to happen and there will be absolute zero difference between the two. Despite that you as the player deliberately chose to play in the multiplayer environment, then despite this ended up in bot-land.
So as always with the launch of a new BF game:
Lets hope the best, while planning for the worst...
Do players get more points for killing higher skilled players? You dont get only 50 points for killing a Muppet looking at the floor, as opposed to 100 for killing the oppos best player. So from that point of view, points for killing bots in MP should be the same as human players. In non MP modes thats a different kettle of fish.
