Challenges Imbalanced

Post » Mon May 09, 2011 1:28 am

I've been playing this game and loving it so far, except the challenges are broken. I completed the challenges on 360 and now I am going through the challenges again on PC and the AI problem is brought up again.

The team AI on your own team is so poor it makes a tough challenge all but impossible, they are stupid, they run out and die under a hail of fire and can't support you whatsoever. Whereas when I look at the enemy team they are pretty much perfect, they storm the objective, they take cover, they are always cohesively defending the objective. Why can't my team be like that?

I have no doubt with enough attempts I can beat all these challenges but it's going to be like pulling teeth. If this was going to be case all along then why didn't SplashDamage allow unlocks even with a team of human players? I can imagine this turning people off the game a lot.

Apart from that I do love the game, great gunplay and parkour fun.

Challenges were meant to be hard and require skill to complete personally it comes down to experience, Ive seen people rush through and beat the three star challanges and Ive seen people get stuck on two star challanges.
I found the hardest to be 2 start Be More Objective, it took me 5+ tries when I beat the rest on my first try

If you create a new character and use that the challenges are easier because the bots scale to your level.

The rewards will carry over to your higher level characters

I'm struggling with Tower Defense and Be More Objective on two stars, the other two I got through them pretty easy.

I had some trouble with the dumb team AI for the Be More Objective two star challenge too. I was trying it with my main character, who is level 10, so the enemy team had access to all of the Rank 3 abilities. I made a new character and went through and tried it at level 1 and it was much more balanced. It was challenging but not impossible. Killed it on my first try after trying that.

I may make a second character then and try if I can beat it that way.

Guys drop the pro gamer act, I can beat these challenges too, but bad AI was not meant to part of the challenge.

Actually yes it was, the point of it is, "could you still win if your team did nothing?" not just if only you did objectives. And yeah it is RIDICULOUSLY difficult but still doable. They don't call it a challenge for nothing lol

That your opinion, or is that a fact?

I find the AI frustrating also, only because it FEELS like your trying to do the challenge without a team of AI. Has nothing to do with skill, nobody, no matter how good they are, can take on a team of bots playing hard by themselves. Challenges shouldn't be crap shoots. They should be challenging though.

I've completed all of them now on 360 and PC and I still feel the Objectives AI is awful.

Wait, there was AI on that one? I barely noticed. I think I recall being buffed a few times but I'm not entirely sure they had guns.
