If the game is online only then I'm probably going to skip it entirely, I'm sorry.
I already have too many "live service" games that take up space on my SSD and are not playable at all if the servers are busy. And they can be busy for days at a time at launch or whenever a major update is rolled out. I've been fooled by this too many times already.
Just look at the complete ship wreck that was the Outriders launch where people were essentially locked out of the game they purchased for more than three weeks after the launch date because of overwhelmed servers.
Don't believe me ?
It was such a disaster that it was even covered by Forbes :
This is why I don't pre-order games anymore.
No offline mode with bots = no purchase. Sorry.
Having an offline mode with bots would be a STATEMENT directed at Activision. It would say that Battlefield treats PC players better than CoD does.
