This is not Unreal Tournament, so
get rid of the bots. I don't want to fight Sven again.
Forum Discussion
Good to see you here on the forums again @Popa2caps! DICE's reasoning for bots IMO is sound to fill a server and displace the bots each time a player joins and takes a slot. When I had my own BF3, BF4, and BF1 servers getting them started was often a challenge and one I see commented upon time and again by other server hosts. I really don't see a downside to having bots for this server fill mechanic. Perhaps those who object to bots under all circumstances can make a server without them in Portal?
Yeah I mostly see messages in my email, so I come check what was said, but I mostly stick to reddit as I find it superior.
Let's just agree to disagree. I think DICE made two wrong decisions regarding bots. One being adding bots in modern first person shooter, Second, the users can't disable them. Both are terrible ideas in my opinion.
I won't speak for others, but I would honestly take a half-full server knowing everyone was real over a full server with half bots.
I get some people might have had issues with filling servers in the past, but filling them with bots is not fixing the issue, it makes it worse. It makes it worse because it doesn't fix the underlying issue, filling servers
Want more people to play your game, make it a good game and people will just fill the rooms.
@Popa2caps I'm with you. I think its a terrible idea to include bots in online mp as default in bf2042.
I was really excited when they announced bots for solo play which is a great way to try out weapons and vehicles but then really disappointed to hear them say they would be standard in online mp servers.
Fortunately I'm playing on Xbox One until the X-Series stock issues are sorted out, which could be a while, so I won't have to deal with the bots issue and I'm hoping there's enough pushback when the game is out and Dice remove them or at least offer players the choice in a server browser.

@zakrocz
Yeah, not being able to disable the bots is my issue too. I'm in a different boat. I got an Xbox Series X, but didn't like it so much, I stuck it back into the box (not joking). Waiting for GPU prices to get down.- @Popa2caps I only play one video game, battlefield, and modern day consoles do the job for me.
