A solo v/s bots mode is a necessity for BF6 (beyond "Casual Breakthrough").
For any great game, there are sweats and there are casuals. It's a specific difference not just in gaming styles but personalities itself. The sweats need PvP. The casuals need PvE. That's a game for everybody. A solo v/s bots mode is a necessity, because it gives completeness to a game. It shows a comprehensive approach. It shows consideration.
Battlefield 6 is great! Great graphics, destruction, movement, sounds. Kudos to the devs! Casual players like me want to enjoy this game. We really do. No, I don't want competitive gameplay against the others. I just want to have fun. I just want to be immersed in the beutiful gaming they have here. Which isn't really possible in the current state of the game. Not with so many sweats. Or, not with so many players turning into sweats due to dedicated hours they can spend playing this game. I admire their dedication; but people like me don't have that time. It feels like this game is only for people with 15 years of experience in competitive gaming; no place for newcomers or casuals. I've been reading that many players feel the same. Please don't ignore a significant portion of fans / customers of this game. Telling the casuls to "level up" is not the solution. Needing to retrain our nervous systems shouldn't be a requirement to enjoy a game. On the contrary, provision of such a mode is a great way to turn fans into devotees. The devs may want to consider that.
Oh, I played "casual breakthrough" many times. It doesn't feel "casual". It stops being casual the moment other human players step in. Many sweats step in, because us casuals are no different than the bots - easy XP. I read that this offering was supposed to be a compromise for cancelling the bot-backfill on verified experiences, which was supposed to prevent XP farming. Was it so? I don't know the reason. But if that was the reason, I think it's a failure. This is XP farming, right here. On the contrary if this Casual Breakthrough was supposed to help people like me train for more intense PvP, again, it's a failure. The sweats cancel out all opportunities to do so. Practicing to shoot a bot doesn't enable anyone to shoot a sweat who slides, dives, jumps and finishes you in a fraction of a second after they show up on your screen. It leaves a sick feeling in the player's mind. And gaming is all about sensations. Nobody wants a sick one.
No, that huge portion of casual players need a solo v/s bots mode, specifically. No other human player in the match. Just you and your game, your way.
Whenever a PvE mode is requested in a PvP game, people get offended for a reason I'm yet to understand. We're told in derisive ways to basically get out of the game. I fail to see why the hatred is there. People like me aren't asking to cancel PvP or something outrageous like that. We're just asking a separate PvE mode. We just want to get out of the sweats' way and live happily in our own way. We aren't hurting anybody. Such a mode is certainly achieveable with a few tweaks from the devs.
The devs can check what to do with the progression in such a mode. Full XP. Half XP. No XP. I'm fine with anything. But please let this mode have either all weapons unlocked or at least its own weapon mastery development system. And if that is also not considerable, then fine. I'll grind through the PvP and unlock the weapons I want and then I'll play this game my way. The private matches in Call of Duty allow players to do that. I know that game is hated in this community and probably I'll be told to go play COD - but no; I want to play BF6 only; because I love this game! Much more than I've loved any other military shooter before. I just want to enjoy it as well. So please. Let people like me have this one.
Thank you.
