frustration

Post » Mon Jan 31, 2011 11:44 pm

K so earlier i posted on how i like the game so far. Well overall I still do, but I ran into a problem. That being the stupidity of the AI bots, especially the medic ones.
I am trying to do the first challenge 2nd star (wich is 2nd difficulty level) but can't get the first operative objective done because my allies won't do their jobs of either keeping enemies off me, killing enemies, securing positions or especially HEALING me. I don't think I've ever been as mad at a game as I am at this now. if you have done it please lend me some helpful advice on how or maybe you know how the bots work and can let me in on that to help me understand why they won't heal me or how I can make them heal me

Have you ever considered that they are out of supply pips to do the healing? That transfer supplies ability for the medic is just dumb, imo. Medics and soldiers require the most pips out of everyone.

Also, the AI is designed to get smarter later in the game when it realizes that you can't complete the objective by yourself. It also acts more intelligent with more human players in the game.

Keeping enemies off you : yeah they 100% fraking blow BUT it seems like the enemy bots come straight for me no matter if my bots are shooting at them or not.

Killing enemies: I have actually seen them kill a few honestly.

Securing objectives: In this challenge they are not suppose to do that at all. It's your challenge not there's.

Healing, you say?: With this one I am not sure if you mean while your hurt or need to be revived. So if you mean revived, the bots actually seem to try to HARD sometimes. They will run right into a mob of bad guys to try and throw you a syringe and just die. Now if you mean healing when you are still a "walking wounded" you are absolutely correct. Lets not stop at healing you tho and throw in buffing. Engineer buffs, extra ammo, and any sort of operative help is none existent.

I think SD will patch them tho.

svcked for me tonight cause i totally forgot i did not do the 2 star for that challenge and tried to go back and do it at lvl 15. I couldnt even blow open the command post with a heavy eng i died in like 3 shots it was insane how much harder it was. So i just made a lvl 1 toon and did it with him to unlock the rest of my guns not after trying for like a hour and a half first tho.

It's not just you. that challenge took me over an hour to beat. The hack location is right out in the open and all the other team does is camp right next too it. The only suggestion i have is to get to the hack objective as fast as possible after finishing the repair, then basically go hide. I almost threw my controller at my TV because of this ridiculous challenge. I can't believe it got past play-testing.

At the intro, the announcer said "Your teammates will not be able to help you complete the objective", its just more literal then she leads on. It took me a while too, but remember that you can SMART up the building of the intel you need to capture at the end. :wink_smile:

Ok i finally got the 2 and 3* challenges done for "Be More Objective". For the operative part in the 2* I spent about 2 minutes just pushing the security forces back for the sole purpose of teyig to make sure I had room and ai would move up. I then places the hack box and moved around to the CP and moved back to kill the engineer or it got past the AI team mates.
Challenge 3 I found easier on the hacking, harder on the engineer part, but got it done in 2 tries. Felt much easier than 2*
