<\/a><\/p>\nBots designed to “backfill” Battlefield 2042′<\/strong>s 128-player servers cannot be turned off, and you will not be able to play with them if you’re offline, EA has said.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The downside of having up to 128 players in your game, it turns out, is that sometimes you’re going to have fairly empty lobbies that need bots to fill them. We already knew that Battlefield 2042 would use bots to pad out emptier servers<\/a>, but in a recent update on the game, developer DICE has revealed that you have no option of turning the bots off.<\/p>\n “You will not experience more AI soldiers than players unless the match is still filling-up, or almost empty,” DICE said in a blog post<\/a>, before explaining that real players will replace AI bots as they join the match.<\/p>\n
