The Bots issue

30 seconds on google show reddit and YT links. Dozens of them.

This issue is bad and can be blamed on their **bleep** SBMM.

The game is dead if we can't match make lmao

Its a global issue not a regional issue unfortunately. 

SBMM has killed the game. 

Hi DABBBAS,

Just wanted to let you know that I've merged a new post you made with this existing one, as they seemed to be related. 

When playing Conquest at night (Crossplay is ON), I constantly end up in 24v24 lobbies where nearly half the server is bots. This is a AAA game and there are still plenty of players — so why are matches staying half-filled with AI?

I understand using bots during the first few minutes to reduce queue times. That’s fine. But in my experience, the bots stay for the entire match. No new players join once the game has started, so the server never properly fills up.

The result? Slow, empty-feeling matches that take longer than usual to complete.

It’s even worse when bots take vehicles like tanks and just cruise around the map. That has a real impact on gameplay and completely changes the flow of Conquest.

I would much rather backfill into an already active match than play a full round that remains partially populated by bots. Even better — merge two or three underpopulated lobbies into one full server, and let us continue playing with the same group into the next match.

This shouldn’t be happening in a AAA title.

It's the "best selling shooter of 2025". If that was actually true, there wouldn't be regional issues, or any need to turn crossplay on, and have to experience all the faults that contains.
