so they now have standard and big team, both have same settings both have bots and players. what the hell is the difference? someone said standard is 4 players 4 bots a team but thats not the case at all and big team is the same =\

competitive mode seems to lag now as well ive been using that playlist because 5v5 and no bots = so much less lag. without bots this game is so much better! why must they be online. Surely its more stress for the host xbox to be calculating what bots are doing and then downloading player info too. That last sentence could be a load of rubbish but the game def plays better without bots!

Bots should be removed from online period. If people wanted to play with bots they'd play solo =/

It is extremely useful for attracting population to a server, it is also handy to get players within the same group on the same teams as switching between teams can work perfectly unless both teams are full as the bots can be easily replaced.

They might be useful for the PC verison of brink but on Xbox Live as soon as someone sees they are playing with bots they quit

i read the update from SD says that standard has limited players and more bots to counter lag, i dont think the bots help in anyway ?_? i think they make it lag more! AND it doesnt seem to be working because i lag in standard and big team but not in competitive, well until today =\

having bots in no way helps a group join together...think of the bots as empty slots. not to mention bots arent fun to play with and they make it feel cheap. I LIKE BRINK but i hate the bots, this whole merging SP n MP...its not new...this is like battlefield (the original ones) offline or counter strike.

No they should not be removed. I remember call of duty...how many times did i not play 1 vs 8 because my entire team left. the bots help prevent this.

I guess you like playing in rooms with more bots than players then..
