Can you still add bots?

[Krantorum]

I was thinking about buying this game because i've always wanted a battlefield game with offline bots for when i'm hunting or not connected to the internet and need something to do, but then I saw that the multiplayer was removed and I don't know if that means the bots are gone too.

There's singleplayer mode and coop mode (latter can be found under multiplayer, and gives you more control on the setup). Both run with bots and both still work.

Goto http://www.tweakguides.com/BF2_9.html (hurry the guide is fast coming to a close.) for more good info on BF2, in here you can also find a link to download a file that allows you to play Single Player maps with vehicles and 64 players ie you and 63 bots. For example my favourite map was Ghost Town on the expansion pack, in SP mode you only get the APC and a couple of jeeps and quad bikes, however with the new file added you can play SP just like it felt on Multi Player.

To increase the number of bots used in singleplayer mode, go to your \Program Files\EA Games\Battlefield 2\mods\bf2\AI directory and open the file aidefault.ai with Notepad or Wordpad (make sure to create a backup copy of it first). Read the instructions in the file which basically involves placing the word REM in front of each of the first 5 lines starting with 'aiSettings.set', then removing the REM's in front of the next 4 lines starting with 'aiSettings.set'. Change the number at the end of the aiSettings.setMaxNBots 32 line to determine the number of bots to use (e.g. aiSettings.setMaxNBots 64 for 64 bots). Note that more bots can really stress your system and hence destabilize it, causing a crash back to desktop - particularly for those with older CPUs. For example, 64 bots on most older systems will cause a crash.

If this has helped then quote my username and just say thanks, that way others will know it helped.

The bot's have the bran capacity of a Fax machine

This is another nice mod for single player, with more competent bots:

Do play multiplayer when you get the chance, because there is where all the most fun is :) {LINK REMOVED}https://battlelog.co/

Unfortunately (or fortunately?) this brain capacity is still better than some human players out there lol
