Battlefield 6 should take notes from Battlefront II when it comes to offline.

I have played Star Wars Battlefront II since day 1 in 2017, & even though there's no more content coming to it, I'm still enjoying in thoroughly due to the Instant Action game mode that DICE brought from Pandemic's games. Instant Action basically ensures that the game will live forever since decades from now, I can still play Supremacy (Conquest) offline with bots on any map with whatever settings I choose in BFII. This is something I think DICE made a mistake with in BFV. Battlefield 1942, Vietnam & 2 had the option to play offline Conquest with bots, after that, it was scrapped & replaced with mostly forgettable Single Player campaigns. Instead of focusing on another single player campaign for Battlefield 6, DICE should scrap the campaign, look at the success of Battlefront 2 & Instant Action, & make something similar to that yet with a Battlefield skin on it. It would likely attract a lot of PVE players from Battlefront. I would have loved to play conquest with bots in BFV on maps like Iwo Jima or Pacific Storm, yet that will likely never happen since BFV will die. Also, don't tell me that programming the AI would be difficult, Battlefront II's Instant Action AI is pretty competent & fun to play with, since the AI from BFII runs on Frostbite, it shouldn't be too hard to program them into Battlefield 6.

    Bots are what we all need. Since Battlefield after Bad Company has already turned into Call Of Duty

    BOTs already exist in BFV Combine Arms. These BOTs are far more advanced then those in BF2 or BF3 combine arms.  

    How are BOTs on a non-mode MP map better then a CA mode MP map?

  • I feel off-line bots could be a fun way to relax if you don't feel like to hop in online matches.

    We also need the bots for helping to start up empty servers!

    That some needs to hang around doing nothing for longer periods of time until 3 other ative players join in is plain silly, when bots could have helped starting it right away.  The admins should then be able to set a server parameter on how many bots should be on it and when the bots should fade out when sufficient number of real live players join in for the gameplay!  

  • This is the email I sent to DICE concerning this problem. I think it covers all the issues that bots would solve. If you have the time, please read it and tell me your thoughts.

  • Silly question maybe but here goes. How does the bot thing work? Could you rank up weapons etc in a server filled with bots or is it like playing on an unranked server?

    I couldn't agree more and is why I reinstall BF2 @ 1440p 144hz. ; ) I was drooling just looking at the UI. I started a game and felt like I was tagging along with the AI. I just hope the AI don't start whining when I start whipping there butts.
    BF2 makes BF3 look like they were lazy, but it's no secret they favor console. I still use my BF3 box and haven't seen a game yet worthy of a need build. Not when the PC spirit is dead. Players now of days are as soft as a marshmallow and think everyone that killed them is cheating or want something change to suit them.
  • They just announced bots are coming to Battlefield 2042 but we don't know if they'll be available offline. I'll keep my ear to the ground, but I hope they clarify this at the gameplay reveal.

    EDIT: They haven't announced offline bots yet, but they've announced the Solo Mode in which players can fight bots will be 'separate from multiplayer'.
