    Game modes and offline play/private matches

    So How this is gonna work ? I mean I am only interesting in playing death match not really into the king of hill or other game modes, so every time I look for a new match it will chose itself randomly ? or this will be fix later on, Also has offline play for practice will it be available? because I want to be able to try different loudouts and see which suits me better also will private matches for clan battles will be available?

    I really...I mean REALLY would like an option to play it also off-line versus bots or, at least, have an option to set a private match with teams ex. me+2 bots vs 3 bots.
    It would be definitely cool and it would make this game eternal other than allowing to practice the maps.
    Has the team already stated anything about off-line/private modes?

    Thanks

    Lots of people are mistaking this XBLA game for a triple-A shooter franchise. You can't expect all this stuff from the game. As far as I know, there will be no offline play, much less bots (Drones are enough AI for this game, IMO). This isn't Gears of War... This is Hybrid. As for trying different loadouts, well, do that online and see how effective it is. Bots are no replacement for people, so testing loadouts offline would be ineffective in the first place. Private matches? I doubt it, but let's wait and see.

    With all the possible equipment loadouts you can expect the AI programming to be a nightmare, not just with the individual ability of the AI with the specific loadout but how it coordinates attacks with the other bots.

    section 8 prejudice its an arcade game has huge maps, can hold up to 32 players, has a story mode, has 4 multiplayer
    games modes it uses unreal engine 3, has lots of weapons, also uses dedicated servers and its only $14 99 I am sure 5th cell can do something about it, not asking for so much

    There HAS to be private game options because when nobody plays this anymore what about those who do? Also what about those who want to know more about the controls? Me! I haven't played this because i can't get into an online game. Not only this, i don't want to be put in one with zero experience. If there were private matches where i could learn more about shooting bots it'd be easier. Otherwise i'll just pass.

    I'm scared to go online cause i know i don't know what to press so why should i? The controls are confusing so it's a pass unless it's changed in the final release.

    This.
    Also you should consider that I could have a poor connection, or dozens of other problem and I would still play the game.
    And if the game replace a quitter with a bot (which it should), then it could be able to handle 5 bots and a player.
    That would be a plus cause there are several games with online play that aren't played anymore after few months.
    Having offline modes would allow me play this game even then.
    Also, if all the world will start using power weapons making the game a pain I would like to have an option allowing me to play still having fun.
    Just my two cents anyway.

    Sorry there are no plans to include bots or offline play. This game was designed to be player vs player over a persistent online war only.

    In the future could we have DLC that add bots or maybe release it on PC with bots? That depends on how well the game does this summer.

    Thanks!
