BF6 Bring Back Bots

Good morning, the game has become unenjoyable since the removal of bots. I am an older man and it’s hard for me to keep up with some of the fast pace players today. I feel like I was ripped off out of $70, for a feature that helps me relax was taken away. I know there are people that do the “XP farms” and yes I do think it should be taken away, however, do not punish older people like me and many others, keep normal game modes like conquest and etc. If XP is such a problem with bots, then at least make it half XP for a bot kill and full XP for human kill. EA, please make this right and bring back bots so that older people like myself and the millions of other people that play this game can enjoy it. 


UPDATE: Looks like our voices were heard. Causal breakaway is in the line up. 8v8 with bots.

    I created a casual conquest experience. 3 large maps full of vehicles, mostly-faithful reproductions of popular 'vanilla' conquest maps to give you a legitimate experience, solo start, team-switching enabled in the game to allow you to play with or against friends, and custom bots filling the server up to 48 players: experience code ZH6YV

    thats cool man.  But I think what people really want to see,  is competitive servers at different skill levels like the old cs days.   Or the vanilla maps with the basic rules so we can at least search for the servers ourselves.  To avoid ones completely stacked out with smurfs.  

    In the old bf2 days we had server mods to auto kick people for team vehicle sabotage.   base graping,  team killing (cause we always played with FF on in both cs ands bf2 communities as another way to expose aimbots and trolls and noobs),   and we had auto team shuffles during the match,   or vote shuffles for the pub matches.    Its the only way to keep teams fair.  You have to be able to balance teams dsuring the match cause its a random anonymous team game especially with 32 players on a team.

    But what happened in this community nowadays instead,   Is they decided,  that they would like to cause upsets at the halfway mark.  So they start stacking and hacking it up halfway in the match and try to turn the match around,  and its been going on for years.  And it always feels unnatural.   Ands whats scary,  is that this EA dev team,  literally just created an update to extend the tickets to 1200,  to make their cheat comebacks more possible. As if directly catering to this.  I was in shock. 

    So you can't make this stuff up man.  Instead of shuffling the teams by match skill rating for example half way in during the match to make things more even and competitive if it becomes too lopsided.     Instead the usual experience in modern bf games,   is that cheaters try to turn the match instead at the halfway mark.   LMAO.     And this is real life brother,  I kid you not.  God help us all.   I hope we wake up.

  • I've played that mode and there's more sweats on it a lot of the times than other modes, that's because people who want to farm lower level players are there, either for challenges or just for kicks.

     

    EA didn't think to limit this "casual" mode to the intended audience (eg. lower level players, perhapsa lower K/D ratio, total time in game, etc) so anyone can join, and they do.

    Here's the thing.

    It's not about the not being able to play against bots completely, It's the fact that the game was advertised as being able to be played that way, and it was included in all the advertising details too.

    What they have effectively done is break their own terms and conditions, falsely advertised something, and then removed an included part of the game that was present in the beginning.

    This is what people are annoyed about.

    Sounds like they catering to the .001% of the top players,  who want more food to eat.  So they feed the playerbase to them.   They don't want you playing with bots,  because that means you won't be getting owned by anonymous "pro" players apparently.    I have no interest in portal or bot play,  i only play conquest as a bf vet,  I'm an avg gamer but very competitive.     but I'm in shock they took bot servers away from people to force them into matches they get crushed in.    Noone really cares if they using it to grind xp,  because this game is not pay or grind to win.     And whats really maniacal,  is that they claim they have the moral highground by forcing this on people.   Because those good players would have noone to play with otherwise,  don't you know that?  /sarcasm....    So we are not allowed to segregate ourselves because the developers feel that is immoral.     Because to them this is not a sport,  "its just a game"  ....   Honestly,  any person in the company who says "it's just a game"  should be immediately fired.  some of them been ruining the industry for 20 years.

    One of my best friends from highschool became a famous quake map  maker.  I think it was verve that moved him to texas but he hopped around alot of companies.  And let me tell you,  he is the typical wokey colored hair fruit looop eye makeup guy, and he literally turned into one as soon as he joined the industry.   So i mean the stereotype is real.  He is also a guy,  never into e-sports,   saw competition as evil,   and treats it as "just a game"  has no problem hacking people cheating etc...   This is the world we live in.  

    I personally feel now after 20 years,  that all along its the game industry taking kickbacks from the hackers.  So people at the company either selling the hacks themselves, or taking money for catering to these people.   Because it never made sense why they would cater to the pro player,  and not the avg player which is their whole playerbase and in theory their real paycheck.   Very much like our politicians in society take money to favor certain groups, instead of the general population,  that we are also not allowed to segregate from,  no matter how toxic or "unsporting".   etc...   Gaming online is a microcosm for the human race and always has been.   Its not a "victimless crime",  it will be our judgement due to our human nature.

    You don't have to explain yourself on why you want to play with bots in portal. A lot of people want to have fun, and not boring time consuming grind for XP and pointless competition with COD players. Everybody who enjoyed Battlefield 2042 battles with the bots, SHOULD be able to enjoy Battlefield 6 the same way.

    DICE can separate single player with bots experience with progression to unlock EVERYTHING in the game from multiplayer mode, so that single player progression and XP will not effect multiplayer modes like a two separate progressions.

    DICE is destroying my game experience, and I have no choice but to get my refund, I'm not going to support this bs.

    "Unfortunately,  it does get tiresome seeing people complain about every little thing that doesn't go their way in video games."

    Little thing? Are you blind? It's major thing. And if you tired of seeing people complain about it, why are you waisting your time here, go play in multiplayer and enjoy the game. 

    You remind me of people who will defend the authority no matter what, just to side with the powerful corporations against the people.

     

  • i'm and older gamer as well, I don't like playing in sweaty lobbies which most are. I just want to play Conquest and other modes against full bots on both teams. EA has taken them out Thus I haven't touched Bf6 much since then. Please put bots back in as I just don't want or enjoy playing against other players it ruins my fun.
