What is a Battledad? It's a guy who has a family, works full time and cannot dedicate hours upon hours into a game. 

Well my fellow battledads, it looks like we are still being ignored with our simple ask for solo and co-op in the same style as 2042. 

Some say that needing bots means the game has failed. Really? When you are able to be a sweaty and grindy no life, then bully for you. Enjoy the online PvP. Some of us have lives and are unable to dedicate that much time and effort into the game. Hence we enjoyed being able to dive into the game against bots with a friend or as a single player. Getting to see all the maps and slowly unlocking the weapons and attachments at our own pace without all the irritating mouthing off and non-stop deaths to sweaty gamers. 

I thought we were getting somewhere when CASUAL BREAKTHROUGH was announced. At last I thought, #Dice #EA and the #Devs are finaly listening to the many thousands of us who are angry at losing the accessibility of just enjoying the game in the solo and co-op modes. For so many, having this missing was a deal breaker for buying the game. Some of us did with our hopes put into Portal, but that turned out to be a complete farce and a time waste. So much for "Play the game how you want to". What utter **bleep**.   

I tried this new mode and can't see what's different. I was greated with LVL75 players who has red gun MASTERY emblems. Hmmmm, so how is this casual? Just more sweats jumping onto the very mode that some of us are trying to use to learn the game in short stints when time allows. 

Why is it so hard to add the two modes back in? Who does it harm? Put 50% or even 30% XP onto solo and co-op modes, and give the game back to the battledads. Gain yourselves a bit more server space back. Make thousands of annoyed, cheated and £70 poorer busy people a chance to play like they did in 2042. I loved going on with my daughter in co-op. She is handicapped, so the slower pace meant she could enjoy the game with me and still get somewhere. 

It is baffling that this mode still has not been added into the game. Such a massive shame. Will it ever be included? There would certainly be more sales judging by the amount even on these forums who would like to see its return. My brother won't buy it because these modes are missing. I'm sure there are many like him. I guess us battledads just have to keep asking for it to come back.
