Some people enjoy playing against bots, and there's nothing wrong with that.
But I'm a competitive person who enjoys competing against human opponents. Defeating a bot in battle gives me zero satisfaction. Probably because I know there's not a living opponent on the other end who has thoughts and feelings. The whole bot experience just seems hollow and empty to me, due to my competitive personally.
I guess it would be similar to introducing robots into real world sports. Imagine if robots were introduced into FIFA. Robots that could run faster, jump higher, and kick the ball harder than any human. Would the human players on the field enjoy such competition, or would they find playing against fellow human opponents more fun?
I'd rather play against human opponents. It's more interesting to compete against opponents that look and think like you, not to mention have emotions. Otherwise that competitive feeling is lost, as is my desire to keep playing the game.
So hopefully BF2042 has options to satisfy both camps. I hope you enjoyed my psychology deep dive into the mind of a competitive online player, and why bots leave these players feeling bored and unmotivated.
Have you forgotten all the people in this game who are just robots with superpowers. Those with Superman's x ray vision and with bullets that find their targets themselves. They can also be bulletproof, run very fast and fly if they want to. So there are already players who are more robots than bots will ever be.
