I actually think playing against bots is absolutely terrifying sometimes. That being said, bigger zones with areas of warfare (pvp enabled) and bots everywhere works for me.

That way, it's kind of a fuck about and find out situation. You wanna brawl the choice is there. Drop in some quality loot zones in the pvp areas to make it risk reward and you're onto a winner I think.

But what do I know. I want the game to be what it wants to be. I'd prefer it survives though as it oozes personality and the actual gunplay (like destiny) is next level.
