WE DONT NEED BOTS
Lobbies with 24 players, and the majority are bots — it’s honestly unplayable late at night. You’ll find maybe five real players per team while the rest are just AI filling up space. I keep hopping f...

Here’s the issue, and it has a simple fix:
EA needs to follow through on what they originally said and set cross-play off by default. The core Battlefield community is older — many players don’t change default settings and some struggle to find basic options in the menus, let alone dig through them to disable cross-play. With so many modes already splitting the player base, forcing cross-play by default only spreads players out even more.
Simple Solutions:
Server Browser: Bring back a proper server browser so players can find a rotation they enjoy, favorite servers, and consistently play with others (and friends) in a familiar environment.
Team Switching: Allow players to switch teams so they can actually play with their friends, not against them.
Default Cross-Play Setting: In the next update, set cross-play to OFF by default. Let players turn it on if they want it — not the other way around. Most console players don’t want to play against PC players, and many don’t even realize cross-play is enabled right now. If they knew, they would probably turn it off.
Battlefield 2042 struggled with this exact issue — if you disabled cross-play, you couldn’t find games because it wasn’t off by default, and the player base fractured. Let’s not repeat that mistake.
