Talking about the difficulty of the AI in Battlefield 2042’s Battlefield Portal modem Design Director Justin Wiebte of Ripple Effect Studios states that players will have a “really hard” time telling the difference between AI bots and real human players.

We’ve tried to put a lot of effort into making them play just like a player would. So it would be really hard for people to tell the difference between an AI and a real human player because they will run around, they will drive vehicles, they will pick each other up, they will drop [each other] off at objective locations and things like that – it’s a very intelligent system. And then you can tweak and tune some of the things they are and aren’t allowed to do, including how difficult they are to play against.

Be interesting to see how they do this. I played with the BFII bots in co-op missions. They were okish, still had stiff movement paths and sometimes they wouldn't engage you if you didn't engage them, which mean you could crouch walk past them with guns pointed at each other. They played well as the hero classes though.

I just love that bots are back. As long as there are server where there will never be bots it's great.

 

[ANIMAL1975]

True story, I'm a neogaf bot and you guys never noticed.

 

[Buhaj]

No lies detected.

 

[Boneless]

Who gives a shit, bots should be a very temporary stopgab for a new player to come in.

 

[cormack12]

No lies detected.

....they will pick each other up, they will drop [each other] off at objective locations and things like that

This will clearly tell me who a bot is tbh. Who the fuck doesn't just drive off at the spawn points ignoring everyone.

 

[jigglet]

BS.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Will the bots be dunking on us with Jeep stuff as well?

 

[lame gag1990]

It won't be hard for console gamers to spot them. Aimbot will be working for both AI and PC players.

 

[TheKnownUnknown]

Thats nice and all till we actually get the game and bots are just standing around like idiots.

I rather have 32 v 32 than have bots to fill a 128 player lobby

 

[ZehDon]

Will be spitting trash in chat? Because if not...

 

[FeldMonster]

Bots are the only reason I want to try BF2042. Hopefully I can play an entire game solo with just bots.

 

[Sean Mirrsen]

Yeah, bots will always be easy to tell apart from real players - by the lack of swearing, insults, rampant fuckaroundery, and other moronic and childish behavior.

 

[AnotherOne]

True story, I'm a neogaf bot and you guys never noticed.

Good bot.

 

[The Cockatrice]

 

[Holammer]

The system will pass the Turing test when "killd0zer2010" starts to spam chat with hackusations & racisist obscenities when you kill it repeatedly.
Completely indistinguishable from the real deal.

 

[Fake]

BOTS will even insult you like 'n00b, suck my dick, simp'.

 

[McCheese]

Even the bots are sleeping with my mum these days. Ffs

 

[Rickyiez]

Well alot of actual players play like bots in Battlefield games, so it's not hard

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Still excited to play it, haven't been this eager since bf4 was about to release

But yeah, complete bullshit.

Reality: Bots will use cheats/hacks like the players do.

 

[DustQueen]

That is truly retarded statement

 

[Thedtrain]

Really difficult = fricken laser beam aim

 

[balls of snow]

Lol, watch as the bots have similar ai as the UNMC soldiers in halo.

 

[Derktron]

Who gives a shit, bots should be a very temporary stopgab for a new player to come in.

It should be only implemented at the start of early lvl 1 to maybe 20.

 

[Shmunter]

They pew pew with you in the day and troll Twitter at night

 

[HTK]

I want to play against real humans, could care less about bots. I mean it's great to fill in lobbies but if it turns out that you're playing bots majority of the time I won't play the game.

 

[GymWolf]

Bots are gonna call me nigga motherfucker and pretend to be my daddies?!

 

[jaysius]

Excellent, so they'll camp and drive off with all the vehicles despite me using the "I need a ride" button at spawn, then they'll for planes into the ground, respawn and repeat.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Nah. Make them like the bots of Quake 3 Arena.

 

[MrFunSocks]

This is what the PUBG devs said about their bots too lol.

spoiler alert: they aren't.

 

[Fake]

Imagine you seeing your worldwide scoreboard be like 'numbers of bot you killed', if they show the numbers of time you die they sure will show that.

 

[REDRZA MWS]

Fuck bots. They better have servers without them.

 

[nowifenolife]

Fuck bots. They better have servers without them.

Rather play on a full server with some bots than a botless server with hardly anyone on.

You know thinking about it, if these bots are as good as they claim and they PTFO, then I'd rather play with bots because when your whole team isn't even trying to cap any flags, man that's so infuriating, I just end up leaving the server.

 

[nemiroff]

Fuck bots. They better have servers without them.

These days I'd almost prefer a server with bots instead of a server full of hacks and controller mods.. Anyway, BF games have had TERRIBLE AI in SP mode, the absolute worst in the business, so I don't have high hopes for this one.

 

[JCK75]

That's because if they just spin in circles shooting the ground, that's about how useful most real players are.

 

[cormack12]

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Wow, EA calling out their BF player base.

 

[Trogdor1123]

If I win, I will know it is bots

 

[Dr.Morris79]

I dont want bots in an online multiplayer game. If you play it single player, fair enough

But on multiplayer? Urgh, people want this?

 

[zeorhymer]

Great, more cheaters in the game. Aim bots with wall hacks are sure not going to be fun.

 

[tr1p1ex]

i could make a lot of bots look like real players.

start with tank campers in the spawn.

then have a bot taxi a plane to a flag and parachute out.

dot the server with loads of hill humpers.

then the zerg bots. just rotate from flag to flag.

then the hiding bots. just stick them in dark shadows and bushes and around corners and make them wait for enemies to pass.

...

and of course the aim bots - to simulate the aim bots and the really good players.

With full cross play and providing it’s a solid game you should never see empty servers.

They're only to fill empty slot on servers. Players will always replace them when they get in

Then we will rarely see bots

 

[Phase]

Can't wait to see bots get spawn trapped.

 

[Esppiral]

Most online players act like boots so no surprise here.

 

[Masterbrew]

All the big publishers should have a cross title AI team dedicated to ingame AI’s. Like an in house mini Deep Mind team.

 

[R6Rider]

But on multiplayer? Urgh, people want this?

Yes, lots of people do.

Bots are great for multiplayer titles for many reasons.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Not a fan personally. Leave that stuff to single player.
