Why the AI Soldiers coming back are great and should also be in every future BF!

@Doo-Doo-Draws It really can't be hard for DICE to have AI and non AI servers. I get, that in some areas of the world, bots may well be a welcome addition to increase the 'player' count, but in Europe or N.america, there should be plenty of players to fill, or at least mostly fill plenty of 128 servers. We just need the choice, even if it's just accessible through a server browser. I would much rather wait in a short queue, or be in a server of 100 players, than be in a mixed server of bots and players. It's each to their own, so we should have a choice

  Depends on the AI itself. If the bots are good, it might be fun, if they are bad (cheating or stupid) then it will suck. I don't think that those bots are good and personally i don't want to play against bots on multiplayer servers.
  Battlefront 2 is a whole different thing. The bots in coop were quite "good" but not even close to real players. The game itself is also completely different, so i don't know why people are comparing it to BF2042.
  Maybe it would be smarter for Dice to fix their map design, instead of filling empty spaces with stupid bots. It is just not a great idea, to take a map like hamada as an example, where you were able to have a single round without seeing many enemy soldiers (depending on the balance). Now we got a map, that is 4 times bigger, but we only have twice the numbers of players.

  I personally think, for those of us who like AI Action SOLO Style, the Game would benefit from a Local Play Mode where all Bots are loaded Locally and thus the Players who like going PvE SOLO can just setup a match in whatever mode and play, and have a lot of fun with it. No Internet being needed for it, unless the Player wants a Ranked Match against Bots, where those Bots are loaded from a Server that hosts Bots.
  
  I just hope £100 GBP Pricetag is worth it, because that really is very steep for only one Game. For that Price, we expect a minimum of over 5,000 Hours of Playable Game. Just saying.

    AI is great for many reasons mostly to start servers but i think progression should not be allowed for bots. If the only way people can rank up is by killing AI bots then battlefield is not for them. Ranking up should stay as it is not sitting on bot filled servers getting a high rank..
    Not having a option to turn them on and off would not make sense at all and it is kinda a default option that is most needed.

  Bots are the stupidest thing they could have done to this game or any game. I do not play multyplayer games to play against bots it is a huuuuge turnoff. No fun. It doesn’t matter how good the bots are. I have no interest whatsoever in playing with bots it makes the experience extremely watered down. I want to play against real players outsmart and outmaneuver and out gunned Real people and be outsmarted and outgunned by real people !! I would much rather just play with less than 128 people than have bots in the match atall The whole game is watered down because of this Honestly I can’t wait till someone makes a modern military fps and does it right. It’s long overdue. I think ea has just lost touch too deeply
