Please, EA DICE, bring back proper bot support and progression like in Battlefield 2042

Once again, I’m asking and appealing to the developers to allow proper creation of bot-only servers, local play with bots, and full progression of soldier and weapons while playing with bots, exactly the way it worked in Battlefield 2042.

In Battlefield 2042, players could choose the bot difficulty level. There was no messing around with health multipliers or custom damage sliders from the game menu. It was standard Battlefield gameplay across all modes, just with bots set to a chosen difficulty. Each difficulty level clearly defined the pace, challenge, and feel of the match.

I absolutely loved playing on medium difficulty in Battlefield 2042 and holding my own there. I’m asking the developers to restore this same option in the new Battlefield. I truly hope that the Battlefield 6 community that misses bot gameplay is large enough to support this post with upvotes and comments, sharing their own experiences and expectations regarding gameplay customization.

I’m asking for a response from the Portal community and the Battlefield 6 community. Together, we can actually push for change.

And please, EA DICE, stop hiding behind the excuse that bot-only customization leads to XP and weapon farming.

So what?

A good player will destroy an XP farmer even with the weakest weapon. A bad player with fully unlocked, maxed-out gear is still a bad player. Farming XP doesn’t create skill, it just masks the lack of it. Battlefield has always been about player skill, positioning, and decision-making, not about who has the most attachments unlocked.

When will EA DICE finally understand this?

I’ve even uploaded two videos to my own YouTube channel to demonstrate how ineffective your fight against XP farming really is. In 20 minutes, I earned around 60,000 XP. Playing like this is mind-numbingly boring. It’s clearly not fun gameplay. I did it only to prove a point: your anti-farming measures are completely ineffective.

ZERO FUN GAMEPLAY FOR FARM EXPERS

Instead of targeting actual exploiters, you are punishing normal players who simply want to relax, return to the game, and enjoy Battlefield with bots on their own terms, just like we could in Battlefield 2042.

Please do something, EA DICE. Fix the game for us. Listen to the community. Let us have fun.

At launch, you allowed this kind of gameplay. I spent real money on in-game currency, passes, and content specifically so I could enjoy bot matches peacefully, without ruining anyone else’s experience, without showing off advantages, without affecting PvP balance.

Bots don’t care. And I only want to play with bots. Just like in Battlefield 2042.

Please. Do something.

P.S. If this is something you care about, speak up in the comments and support the discussion.
Visibility matters, and this is one of those issues that won’t change unless the community makes noise together.

TL;DR:
Bring back proper bot-only gameplay like in Battlefield 2042: selectable bot difficulty, standard rules, and full progression. Using “XP farming” as an excuse doesn’t solve the problem and doesn’t create skill. Current restrictions punish normal players who just want to enjoy the game with bots without affecting PvP. Bots don’t care. Players do.
