There needs to be an offline practice mode.
You can get to any map offline via console command, but I think that this needs to be accessible via the main menu through the user interface.
When you start an offline match, it’s just like joining an online match, you select your 3 mercs and your loadouts, and you select your side before you start the match. In addition to this, you can set the game timer to whatever you like, including infinite amount of time. When you start the match, the match starts, that is, objectives are activated, and the timers are running. Also during the game, you can access the limbo menu and “switch sides” or change the mercs and loadout cards whenever you want, provided you have those mercs and loadout cards, you know, to try them out without having to have someone shoot at you.
Differences between the online and offline mode:
You can’t change mercs and loadouts during a match online, while you can do so offline.
You can’t swap sides during a match online, at least I think you can’t, but you can do so offline.
Max amount of players is 6, 7, or 8 online, but 1 offline.
Min amount of players before match starts is 2 online, but 0 offline.
Even if all this can’t be implemented, all I ask for is when I load a map via console command, that I can switch between the mercs that I already have, including the ones in free rotation, and the objectives being activated without having to get a second person to join the match, which is impossible because the map is loaded from my computer.
One more thing, why can’t we host our own private matches?
