The bots are here to stay. This is why.
I'm still seeing posts from the vocal minority (possibly trolls?) saying they still don't want bots in the game at all. I'm ending the hate right now and if I still see hate against the bots after t...

If the bots will be like the bots from Star Wars Battlefront 2 co-op mode (supremacy I think) then... well we have strong opponents if not played carefully.

That's my expectation. EA has been investing in the future of EA games with SEED. This video was posted back in 2018, so I'm optimistic teams working with DICE have learned a lot since then.

Disclaimer: I have no knowledge on whether the results from this experiment is being used for 2042, but wanted to point out EA has been making commitments to this type of technology.
I understand some of the concerns players have here. I think it's best to wait and see what the future has for us in the months ahead.
Personally, I've never been that much into bots aside from some warm up games in counter-strike before jumping into a ranked match. I am more of a competitive player so I get the thrill of taking down real human opponents. On the flip side though, there are a ton of positives I already see coming out of this. Servers can help be filled more often and while some of you may have not seen these discussions in the past on our forums, there were some game modes in our previous Battlefield titles that made it difficult to complete challenges to earn exclusive rewards because later in the title's lifecycle the community always gravitated towards Conquest and Rush. Perhaps this could be a solution for situations like that.
Only questions I have left at this point about the bots are these:
Will the bots use Vehicles and be great with them? (I sure hope so)
And will the Solo and COOP Bot Matches still be 64 vs 64 teams as well or would it be lower than that (The more on each team the better and more intense the battles will be)
Really hope someone from DICE and/or EA can answer those.
- @Jesse165 I saw somewhere the max Bots is 64. Not sure if both teams or single, I think it meant both.
I finished another beloved Game a long time ago .
I still Play it , but mostly just to fly or drive or to be a king in .
Sometimes though , I just go straight to 5-Stars Wanted .
. . . those 'Bots In Blue' make for good Battlefield training .
Come Fall , I'll still be Playing this other Game .
But just to fly or drive or be a king in .
Hopefully by then , I'll have a new Game for 'training' .
- @EA_Blueberry Well sir/ma'am, you don't have to worry about offline bots, because DICE announced the bots will be online only, making them meaningless. I'm doing damage control as we speak.
