This is vital for players who grow an attachment to a game and wish to continue playing it even after its life cycle has ended. It is a common fact that the majority of gameplay modes that feature bots and splitscreen are often played offline. I have several reasons why I am asking this of you, and as such I will take the time to explain them in detail in this email. I am writing this email to request that the teams at DICE responsible for the inclusion of splitscreen and singleplayer offline bots in Battlefront and Battlefront II, as well as the team at the Search for Extraordinary Experiences Division tasked with developing the self-learning AI for Battlefield 1 come together and collaborate on an overhaul of past and present Battlefield releases so that they support Offline Splitscreen Play, Singleplayer Offline Bots, and Offline Bots in Splitscreen. Ironically, I am able to enjoy matches by myself or with a friend on the two latest Battlefront games, as they support both splitscreen and singleplayer offline bots. This check is used to pay for taxes and utilities, so it is often a rarity for me to afford even a three-month Xbox Live Gold subscription (I play on Xbox). The issue is for me a taxing one- I come from a low income family and live off of disability checks issued by my government’s Social Security Administration. This is a problem for players on console, as many have voiced their displeasure at having to repeatedly pay an online subscription to play the multiplayer component of the various Battlefield titles. There are neither Splitscreen nor Singleplayer Offline Bots to ensure the titles’ longevity.

I am referring to the lack of offline multiplayer support in every release since Battlefield 2: Modern Combat on consoles. Unfortunately, for those playing the games on console, this gives rise to a crippling issue that has plagued the franchise for years. Truly, Battlefield is one of the quintessential first-person shooter franchises on the market. I am glad players can experience everything the Frostbite engine has to offer, along with true realism and authenticity in each game.

I have derived hundreds of hours of enjoyment from these games over the past nine years, from the gripping singleplayer stories to the explosive multiplayer.

I am a huge fan of your company, as you have created the seminal Battlefield series and two successful revivals of the Battlefront series. Hello! I am an autistic college student who lives in the USA who is currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science/Application Development. I hope you all can read this and discuss with me the finer points within: Here is a different version of the text of the the letter.

I just wanted to bring up this discussion and display the letter I sent to DICE talking about the reimplementation of singleplayer/splitscreen offline bots into Battlefield.
