Single Player

[AWT]

Is this game multiplayer only? If yes, it is wrongly tagged, as the store page says "Single Player".

It is a multiplayer game with the available option of bot support, in private matches you can populate the server with bots for a single player experience

[Bran Mak Morn]

yes it is MP only.

There is a way to play single player. You can play offline/custom matches with bots. A lot of people interept it as having a campaign, which is technically not what the tag 'Single Player' means.

but it is. as i said in a similar thread over at the verduns forums already:

just because you're playing with other players that are AI controlled, it is still multiplayer (=several other players). heck, you can play with both real players and bots at the same time right now and it's still just entirely multiplayer despite the presence of alleged "singleplayer" bots. by which definition do the other players need to be human?

even in the trailer you released with the patch today you only mentioned "multiplayer warfare". no word of singleplayer, because there isn't.

it simply is not possible to play the game without having other players, be they real persons or AI controlled bots.

It is possible to play alone, but is with bots (which makes sense). That is technically Single Player.

Lol Dude, its an WW1 FPS, how could you play with only yourself and no others AI or Human??? Are you gonna shoot at trees??? If it has an offline/Private match with only bots and yourself then yeah, that's single player.

there's a difference between NPCs and bots. bots are a stand-in in multiplayer games to simulate other human players. NPCs are there to interact with human players alone and have no agency by themselves.

or in other words: in singleplayer games, only human players can clear a map. in multiplayer games, AI-controlled players can win by themselves as well. the ability for more than one player to win is the difference between singleplayer and multiplayer.

I agree. In this game is no single player mode by any means. Create custom games where you have to prevent others from entering by creating a password. And the minimum number of players that can be determined is 2. Seriously. Stop this BS.
This is ridiculous

You can play by yourself against bots, it's pretty fun if you liked playing offline on the older battlefield games.
