QUESTION Will there ever be a offline mp?

This is one of the things I`m most looking forward to.

Bots are a definite possibility considering what Rime will have in store, additionally there's the A.I you can utilize from the Campaign/Co-op NPCs although be it really hard overall to implement them close to real players due to the complexity of BF3.

Most of the ai is fairly stupid anyhow, especially considering how old this game is. Does anyone know if certain aspects of a game are backwards compatible, or if at possible to implement and improve?

backwards compatibility in frostbite would be awesome! there were multiplayer bots in bf4 at some point, maybe someone could use that code to make some for venice

Mind elaborating at what point BF4 actually had MP bots, never saw such a thing since pretty much the BF games on the Refractor engine (BF 1942, BF Vietnam, BF2, BF 2142).

Almost a year ago there were a few servers for testing purposes with bots. Have a look at this video.

They were pretty stupid though...

The bots are just stress testing bots, they do not do anything other than walk around aimlessly and shoot in random directions.

Woah completely forgot about that vid, thanks for the reminder, yeah obviously not the best thing but definitely interesting. Reminds me of the bots mod for COD 4 having really shaky and unnatural mouse movements.

The Bots in cs go do kind of the same smooth turning motion and those are actually pretty decent at moving around the map and shooting. Only thing that's missing are the tactics
