A lot of people here in Australia and other countries with awful Internet including me would love to have an offline bots mode like in every battlefield until bad company. It’s just a great way to get some practice and have fun without constantly being disconnected. Thoughts?
Great idea. I also have a bad connection sometimes. And for the practice, it would be very useful. But I think we will have to be connected all the time to prevent pirated game
i feel you mate but living in the outback should be like that - shouldnt it?
While that is a great idea to have bots in Battlefield, the large scale and true nature of Battlefield multiplayer cannot be properly recreated with bots due to the following reasons:
- Bots cannot play to the extent real people can play Battlefield due to the various tactics and techniques used throughout the series. While bots could handle TDM, they are limited in objective modes due to the vast CPU resources needed for the bots to play like a human in those modes.
- Hardware demands. Battlefield games are some of the most resource intensive games in the market. Dynamic destruction, weather, and other events with great graphics is resource intensive on both CPU and GPU.
- If bots are introduced into Battlefield multiplayer, the use of servers that track every player’s habits and tendencies would be needed to ensure that the bots play as close to humans as possible and/or to use bots without negatively affecting the frame rate and/or resolution of the game.
- Server hardware and netcode improvements are needed to implement bots without creating any new netcode issues that can show up on higher tickrates. Higher server tickrates are still somewhat new to Battlefield with issues that still need to be worked out running very high tickrates on 64 player servers.
Yes I agree. It’s a good way to practice with vehicles offline instead. Or atleast give us this option to say this is my first time driving this thing. When your whole squat hops in your transport helicopter
I would like an offline bot mode
It’s pretty much the only way I play TF2 since I rarely have a connection good enough for online play with my laptop
Sure, I’d like to see offline AI support for multiplayer.
I’d love to play the multiplayer maps offline with bots. Give a splitscreen co-op option on top of that!

Yes to OFFLINE bots. Great for practicing and a fun time with friends. They don’t have to be genius bots, I remember driving jeeps over bridges in 1942 and running over a large squads of bots while they rolled off my windshield, great fun. Anyway this needs to happen, make it happen DICE.
Yes to the BOTs
YES! 
I would like to see horde mode just like in Verdun where you defend your trench against waves of enemies! I definitely support more single player content
I’m here in the US but I would also like to see bots added to BF1.
While I miss bots in BF games, I doubt saying “because I can’t play it” is a good reason…
The game would be too demanding, would cut off most laptops to begins with…
This is on my wish list for BF1. It would really help those of us wanting to play against bots to practice with different weapons, testing attachments, adjusting gameplay settings, or just exterminating a thousand bots for fun.
Overwatch had an option to play against bots. While I didn’t use it during the beta, I think it’s great functionality and will plan on using it during the game’s release later this month.
I would like that too!
Well, my reason is that I just love playing single player 
and 6 missions in Bf1 is not enough for me to pay 60$ i want more for us SP players.
It could help people that are handicapped. Playing online might be hard and not fun for them. They probably wouldn’t want to just enjoy playing the campaign.
How is this for bots
Make the singleplayer more closer to the multiplayer. A little bit like the campagn of bfbc1 (yes one)
But with more kit freedom as in multiplayer. So you have to choose a kit. You fight alonside AI/bots teammates. As a medic, you need to keep alive your AI teamates.
As an engineer you’r the anti vehicle guy.
As assault/support (Lmg) you are rensponsble for ammo and laying a base of fire (suppressive fire)
As a Recon you keep distant threats away and alert/spot/ for AI squad.
Classes AI changes automaticily to different class than player. So only unique classes in squad.
That is not all ladies…here is the twist. The computer tracks all your movements and make a ‘profile’ of you. This will be a #%?! to progam though. But it is good code which you can build upon. When and where you lay down your medicbags, ammobags, suppresive fire.
In game if you play as a support and you never supply your AI teamates they will run out, audible complain, and in the end come to you, complain more 
untill the moment they mutiny and start shooting you with their hanggun Why handgun? because players do that when they don’t get ammo in multiplayer.
If you act as a proper supportgunner you 'll get ‘whitty’ commands from AI teammates and they can shoot their guns and make campagneprogression easier.
If you change classes. Your supportcharacter gets replaced by an AI ‘profile’ mirroring you. And if that is a ‘awful’ teamplayer…Good luck.
Same applies for other classes but hopefully you catch my drift.
How is that for immersion and newcomers…
Don’t invend the wheel twice Dice you already invented it. Keep it close to yourself and simple Dice
