Bots

[Intense cactus]

Is this game something that can be played solo with 99 other bots making up the two sides?

Add bots, get many more sales and people enjoy the game more. Have the choice turn them on or off depending on preference.

Games like this need the option for adding AI. Always. Don't add them and the game playerbase will dwindle away to nothing sooner rather than later.

you hit the point. maybe only 6/8 per side just to start the map and then replaced by human players. I understand purists but bots are needed especially in a game like HLL or newcomer when see 90% of servers at zero, just after a couple of games they leave, just in time for a refund. Of course programming decent bots is a non-priority challenge at the moment, its a huge task and HLL now in EA has other things to fix and add.

If I would buy this game and find mostly bot populated servers, I would play it a couple of ours and loose my interest.
And I think the kind of player which is needed for a "multiplayer tactical shooter" would do the same. Because if you don't have more players the servers will stay populated with bots.
That's my thoughts.

Because you don't just go into the dev build and hit the "add bots" button. It would take resources and time in order to create bots, probably would have hire someone just for that task alone which isn't cheap. And even if it was done, it would end up being bad AI, the bigger the map, the less structured an AI can be and by that point you would be complaining that the AI is bad or unrealistic, example Arma, RO2, and Insurgency, their AI is awful, they stand in place or don't try to preserve their lives, they cause unintended glitches but then all of the sudden become crack shots for a second then go back to stupid mode. AI in a multiplayer game is a whole different beast from a single player game. Does that mean AI are inherently bad in multiplayer? No but most of those bots are in arena style shooters where the map is small and pathing is easy to predict/make. Your best bet is just a single player WW2 game

I, like many others, suffer from social anxiety disorder and feel overly stressed sharing a battlefield with other live players, it's difficult to explain something this crippling to the average gamer, enjoying being part of a balls to the wall battle with paper targets is just more relaxing and stress free. I can't put into words the feelings on this, play something else someone might say, sure that's true, but are there other huge battlefield games with bots like this? Really have no idea.

I don't have social anxiety or anything, but i do find it way more relaxing to play a game against bots.

Sad no bots planned .

I therefore have put a real curse on this game .

The only AI in this game is that which controls the Higgens boats for Omaha and Utah beaches in 2 weeks.

Bots are fine, but just not as much fun as real players, especially in a game with focus on unit communication via mic.

Playing with/against Bots is way more relaxing (okay with me) and lets you learn the maps and game mechanics in a much more controlled way.
So I would ALWAYS pledge for a Bots option, kind of like
vs Bots with AI unit (offline)

Not sure if the other options would make sense:
vs Bots with friends in a unit (online)
vs Bots with friends controlling an AI unit (online)

But buttom line...the most fun and the best experience will always be playing with human players. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.

Awesome game. And it puts bots in to fill empty player slots.

Verdun came out 4 years ago and did not have bots and that game's dev's added bots in last year,

To the dismay of all the gamer's that had that game for years now being forced to play in 32x32 with bots filling out all open slots,

Tannenberg is the same thing with only one type of game mode 32x32 with bots filling out all open slots,

And no options to play in a bot free game mode other than making a custom match and trying to get enough player's to join your lobby,

If the hell let loose dev's ever do add bots i hope that they will not make the same mistake that the vertan dev's did and have two game mode's one with out bots and a second with bots.

Does the bots not get booted when real players join?

In tannenberg they do. Bots just fill the spots when there are no players. When a player joins a bot gets removed.

I think I have a semi-unique opinion on bots as an Oceania player because most, if not all games but the biggest and the best, (Fortnite, R6 Siege, Battlefield 4,) often have next to no servers and are completely dead Even BFV was dead on release and deader on BR release with 160+ ping servers. We can't even join Asian Pacific servers without extreme lag, let alone either US based extremes or EU. It is virtually impossible to play most games.

A simple solution, if bots were added make 1 server with and one without.
I absolutely hate bots in games, but it'd be nice for people who do like them to be able to host a private game or to join a bot server.
I'd rather play with 6 other people in a tiny set of teams than bots in all honesty.
Keep the raw PVP alive and have bots in other servers to keep the game afloat too.

I'm downloading this game now and expecting it to be fully dead already.

Edit: given up, this game starts in awful settings and won't change resolution, servers are dead and I bet they'll add bots soon anyway cos that's what failure games do.

[Cryptic]

i would love bots to play coop only

[FMhades]

when they add cooperative mode against bots I will buy this game
