I have got to LVL 16 after resetting a couple of times to test out a almost maxed operative and an almost maxed out solider to finally decide on dual class solider/engineer just for the sake of trying to beat the campaign. The team AI has now gotten to the point that I simply cant finish main objectives by myself, so with all of the resistance campaign finished and 4 more to go on security I am sitting here finally losing my patience.

If you have been paying attention to me since pre and post release, I am the guy telling everyone to chill and relax, it will be ok, it will get patched, so on and so forth. . .
Its sad that I will have to start a new character and do security first just so I can beat that campaign. May 10th, Playstation BLOG says "a few more days. . ." Well, today is FRIDAY THE 13th, and we all know that is bad juju, so I am a bit burnt out and tired of being patience. Excuse me while I step off my soapbox. . .Cheers!

P.S. - I have been playing Goldeneye 007 on Wii and Texas Hold um as well. Feel free to give your Wii ID number so I can add you!

I understand your frustration with the PSN being down for so long, thats gotta be a big pain in the butt. But don't be impatient waiting for this game to get fixed because of your PSN frustrations. This game has only been out for 3 days. It is going to take several weeks minimum for them to get any patch out. Its like that with all game patches.

Just try to tough it out or play something else while we all wait for a few fixes.

Well, the game only just came out. I'm going to be patient, improve my skills and SMARTing moves, and wait for patches myself.

I do understand your pain with the AI, though, lol.

a good thing to do is NOT go for the primary objective. Seems like SD has programmed the AI that the bots won't go for the objective if you have the right class for it, so switch to Medic or any other supportive class and the AI will know they'll have to do it, so you can give support. Seriously it works

Well, sometimes they do, sometimes they don't, lol.... I'm a Medic and my AI teammates still go for the Command Posts on some missions. Maybe if I go for the Command Posts (and level up some more?), the AI will do their jobs?

It's funny that you say to not do the primary objectives.....The devs said that they dumbed down the AI so that YOU are the ones doing the main objectives, lol! :laugh:

haha well yeah I know, but sometimes you gotta think outside the box, figure out why your team AI is so horrible and the enemy AI is pretty good sometimes.
The difference is they don't got a human player in their team
Also, why is it always that in the last minute the AI suddenly starts to play as a team?

The SD devs said that the AI get more better as time goes down.

Hmm......I 'll try, but if it gets worse and there's no patch in the upcoming month or two, I think
I will have unfortunately give up on this game.

And, no, awesome online play (which I am sure will be awesome) should not compensate for that---the game package should be a whole package. If it comes shipped
with the game, it should work or be patched to work.

AI bots should not be dismissed/ignored/"swept under the carpet" because there's an online mode. If the devs wanted to force us to play online, they should do what
Team Fortress 2 did and do not include a single-player. However, SD did because they wanted to also target people who play single-player modes in FPS games (like me).

Sorry for the rant, but games shouldn't be so much work for me, lol.

I mean, I've played RPG's and Japanese RPG's and some niche games like SMT: Nocturne and stuff, and you have to be super-dedicated to play them, but it's
because of the gameplay, not because of technical things like AI bots (unless it's a super-duper cheap boss level or something, hehehe).

I do understand everyone's frustration I myself catch myself yelling at the bots sometimes but I mean, the gameplay is rock solid, the movement, the shooting, it's really well done.
So I believe playing this game online will be a blast, and having 2 or 3 bots in your team won't change much because you always have 2 or 3 snipers/horrible players in your team in other games.
So I think the MP will be a blast, hopefully it'll run smoothly, I'm a bit concerned after all those xbox stories of lag.
Also I wonder if SD actually tested this game before shipping it? Because really, some maps .. what the hell!

I've posted elsewhere, but i found that switching to Hard made a HUGE difference to friendly AI - turned a near-impossible mission into a fair and playable one where teamwork was the key to victory - as it should be!

Thanks for the replies guys and gals. . .I guess part of it is that I have been on "vacation" all this week and had high hopes of enjoying some online action before I go back to the bump and grind. It's all good. . .I will try hard mode and I will try to beef my medic out as well. Thx team!
