Every match is 80 percent bots in Battlefield 6

I really dont understand whats going on with Battlefield 6.

I played the Open Beta loved it and even bought Battlefield 2042 before launch just to warm up and get back into FPS multiplayer.

In 2042 I could play in Asia at any time morning afternoon night and never had issues finding full lobbies. Sure sometimes there were a few bots maybe 10 to 20 percent but that was fine.

Now in Battlefield 6 every single match is about 80 percent bots. I tried maybe ten matches in a row and there are like four real players per team the rest are AI. How is that acceptable in a brand new multiplayer game that sold millions of copies?

The match never fills up with real players even after waiting it stays mostly bots until the end of the round.

Why are there bots filling Asia servers when we have millions of players across Indonesia Singapore Malaysia Japan Korea? Its definitely not a population problem. So what is it? A broken matchmaking system? A server issue?

Please explain this. Players didnt buy Battlefield 6 to fight AI. I just want to join real matches whenever I have time to play not waste my sessions shooting bots.

    Yeah man, lil graphics bugs, achievement, weapons or whatever.. that's fine. But this is huge, it's a deal breaker. I can't play the game I paid for, it's not multiplayer for real.. 

  • This is a huge issue that EA doesnt seem to bother about. Talking huge about skins and stuffs when the more important matchmaking is screwed.

    I only play battlefield games and bought a PS5 just for BF6. Now having to play against bots all the time. I wrote about the same issue here.

    I play on PC, so I don't even have any crossplay options. I played 2042 only for a month, got i after playing BF6 open beta, and I never had this problem, like.. any time of the day, when I had time to play.. morning, afternoon, night.. always lobbies with real players and the occasional handful of bots! (I read your original post, I can't say I had this problem on 2042).
    I'm so disappointed, there are days I'm just giving up and not playing at all.. 

  • Got somewhat the same experience here. I play the closed weapons playlist, either conquest/escalation or rush/breakthrough. On console (ps5) after my first match, maybe 5 to 12 players comes in the lobby and bots fill up the rest.

    Came here to post this exact thing. I posted the other day about needing persistent servers to fix this but now I’m thinking they’ve changed something on their end. 

    doesn’t matter if I play in peak or off peak times I’m guaranteed 10 human players and the rest are bots.
