The Bots issue

Very disappointed every time I try to play Battlefield 6.

Almost all servers are filled with bots, even in main modes like Conquest and Breakthrough.

Rush mode is almost impossible to play because it’s very hard to find matches with real players.

 

The excessive use of bots and the current matchmaking system are ruining the game experience.

It’s no wonder the player count is dropping so fast.

 

We really want an update that addresses the bot issue and improves matchmaking.

Please communicate with the community and let us know if a fix is coming.

    Do you have cross play off (guessing because I only see PlayStation people in the screenshot)? If you do then you will only match with other people with it off, which is going to be a tiny fraction of the playerbase as it defaults to on.

    That or you are playing in a very unpopulated region? Here in eastern US I've never seen a bot in a regular match (I play on PC with cross play on, as there's no choice on PC)

  • i never get bots in my lobbies, this is a you problem, if you are playing casual games they are going to be 50% bots at all times. and if you turned off cross play you might get bots more often.

  • There are people who would like to have control over being able to get as many bots as you do for their progression

  • +1 for it most likely being a crossplay disabled and/or regional issue. 

    I predominantly play with crossplay off on Xbox in the UK, but I usually only see a lot of bots if I'm playing outside of peak hours (excluding when I play Casual Breakthrough, obviously).

    Yes, crossplay is turned off.

    I don’t like being forced to play with PC players who have more than 120 FPS.

    Also, my region is the Middle East, and there is a good number of players here.

    Unfortunately, that's the situation you are in, either turn crossplay back on and play with the majority of the players that keep it on by default, or deal with bots in a crossplay disabled lobby. Maybe you can find/organize with folks in portal servers with the same settings and have bot backfill turned off? 

  • Sounds like your playing in a region with a low player count ?

    If your in oceanic then this will be correct-all you can do is quit that current match lobby and try to rejoin a new one it will either push you into another game if a slot is available OR if it shunts you into the same match just means not many players available.

    Having 3/4 games running  conquest half filled with bots and players is crazy rather than filling the games with just players.
