Please, let tired dads have bots again

Hey DICE team,

Look, I love Battlefield — always have. But I work 45 hours a week, I’ve got a wife, kids, and maybe two hours of free time every few days. 

Battlefield used to let me jump into Portal or local Conquest with some AI, blow off steam, and feel like a hero for a few minutes. Now? No bots, no chill. Just 0 kills, 25 deaths, and someone in chat flexing their rank and KD ratio.

I get that people abused bots for XP farming, but for us casual players, bots were quality of life. They made the game fun, accessible, and relaxing — not everyone has the reflexes of a caffeinated 18-year-old.

Please bring back Conquest or Breakthrough with bots — even if it’s offline, limited XP, or a “Casual Mode.” We just want to play Battlefield without feeling like target dummies.

Signed,
