Day two asking to fix the bot backfill that are never replace

When playing Conquest at night, 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 and after the game it's a new process who go all over again.

The result? Slow, empty-feeling matches that take longer than usual to complete and are boring.It’s even worse when bots full the vehicles like tanks and just cruise around the map. That has a real impact on gameplay and completely changes the flow of Conquest and make people go over to other fps.

We 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.

  • Same issue - bots should be placeholders until new players join. Surely it is cheaper to spin up one server and let it populate with real players, than spinning up multiple servers predominately populated with bots. This is exacerbated by Console lobbies being split between Xbox and PS. Why can't console players play together?
