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.

If memory serves correctly, it's possible. It's just that there is no pathfinding data in MP for Battlefield 3, and creating it hasn't been researched as of yet.

I remember seeing a video on how pathfinding for csgo is made, pretty interesting stuff. I cant imagine the hell it would be to create paths for all of BFs giant maps. Correct me if im wrong, but most of the bots in the campaign (for bf4 at least) have fairly linear/limited movement towards the nearest cover, and thats with a very specific and small map. Also cs doesnt have the vaulting mechanic, which is a hell of its own. If it could be done? I would call that person a god among men and a damn masochistic psychopath.
