Bots, bots & more bots

If there are 400k players online in BF6 then why do I get lobbies full of bots?

I’m sick of seeing a million threads about skins while the game itself barely works -- 90% of lobbies are bots and anyone trying to ague otherwise is arguing in bad faith or a troll. I'm on PC in the midwest and my results are the same as people in the middle-east.

Every lobby I join is full of bots. Then, when it actually fills up with real players, the match just ends and starts all over again... back to a bot-filled mess! The only thing dumber than that are the people saying it’s not EA/DICE’s fault. “Oh, it’s because cross-play is off,” or “it’s the time of day.”

And comments on these posts are always, "What? I don't ever see bots!" Bullcrap lol

The game broke sales records worldwide and you think there aren’t players online? 

I'm on PC. If I play with friends I don't get bot lobbies. When I play solo all I get are bot lobbies. SBMM has killed this game and I'm done pretending that Battlefield is going to get any better than BF4.

Thankfully I'm on PC and there are plenty of other games to play that don't use SBMM like Arma Reforger. It is also cross-play so come join us on that game instead.

    Started trying to play around 11pm CST. Had this issue till about 2am when I gave up trying to play.

    Thing is, the game is global. 11pm CST is still 5pm in Europe. Any other game I play from Arma Reforger to Warthunder has full servers at any time because other timezones keep the game alive.

    This game not so much as matchmaking is broken due to SBMM and struggles to find players. They would rather disband a full server and toss all players into their own queues again instead of just letting us play together again.

    Franchise is dead if we are being honest. You don't build a lasting fanbase on single-game interactions using SBMM. Hell, it takes half a match just for people to be comfortable to even use their mic properly let alone expecting anyone to make friends.

    Yeah, on that subject, wtf is Casual Breakthrough? So many bots.

    What happened to regular Breakthrough? Same with trying to find Rush. I don't want to play REDSEC or Conquest ffs.

  • The only time I see lots and lots of bots is in Casual Breakthrough......cuz that's the plan.  In most other formats I see very few bots.  And I know they aren't bots cuz they own me over and over again.  In Casual Breakthrough I am legendary.  LOL

  • Are you playing at 5 AM? I play it every day around 17.00-19.00 CET, and I've seen a few bots maybe 3 or 4 times.
