Heh, love it. And shows why I prefer to play with bots. Well, the bots in Black Ops 1. Can't play with bots in Black Ops 2 and still rank up unless I play online with other people. Yeah, you have to play with other people to play with bots if you still want to have the fun of ranking up and unlocking stuff.
Why? I don't have a fucking clue. But it's a stupid damn decision and I hate it. Sometimes I don't want to play online. Sometimes I can't. Those times I want to play with bots. Making me have to play with other people to play with bots defeats the purpose of having bots, since if someone was looking to play with bots, they don't want to or can't play with people. Sure, you can still play with bots without anyone, but if you do that you don't have your own separate rank you can increase and unlock stuff. It's all unlocked from the start. Sure it's probably a pretty petty complaint, but part of the fun is ranking up. And I would rather not have to play online with other people to do that when I play with bots.
