Bots seem to be mentally handicapped

Post » Thu Mar 03, 2011 10:47 am

I am playing on normal. I understand it should get harder with difficulty but when the medic trys to run right up to you to heal you while 4 enemies are unloading on him, theres something wrong there. I have also had medic hang out next to me while I was down. I actually witnessed enemies running right by me like I didn't exist. Please can we get a AI boost cause I seriously cant stand playing campaign with these dummy bots.

Medics are the only ones who suicide to get their objective complete. Soldier, operatives, and engineers will all cancel whatever action they are doing in order to fight off your opponent, no matter the circumstance. Medics however, will attempt to revive you if they can do so before dying, and will fight if they can't. It's a weird system in that regard. They do that on hard too, btw.

But yet again I find all classes ignore enemies sometimes when their busy with their objectives. I've rage quit on more then one occassion. lol. I was just using the medics as a simple example. I find it unplayable the way it is right now.

This game is pointless to play solo until they fix the bot AI. Since I am playing on PS3 I can't play online and I am not having fun with this game, despite how excited I have been about the game. I have voted on the polls to have the bot AI fixed and if they don't fix it, then this game is going back to the store. I haven't had a game make me want to throw my controller in a while, but this game is doing just that.

Splash Damage, make your game fun so that people like me who bought your game despite all the poor reviews don't feel like we have been screwed over. Cause at this point I have gotten less than 10 hours of game play and I want to snap the disc in half.

During the roughly 10 hours of game time I have finished the resistance side, created roughly 8 characters, and I am stuck on Day 3: Smash and Grab (security side) because the AI intelligence is so poor. They don't know how to support the data carrier and they waste time going for pointless objectives instead of supporting me, who is fighting the entire enemy force that is defending the data. Also it makes no sense when a bot gets a hold of the data and then runs straight into the enemy team without any back up. He doesn't look for the rest of the team or run with them when they find him. Our entire team ends up getting split and then we naturally are mowed down by enemy gun fire.

I read on the forums that you guys decided to design the AI this way because you didn't want the bots stealing the glory from the human player. If I wanted to feel like a god running around I would play a non team based game. I did however, decide I wanted to play a team based/objective based/class based game. I didn't expect to be going for objectives on my own against a full enemy team.

Yes this is a gripe post. This is the best way for me to release my anger instead of throwing my controller.

I really like this game, but it has alot of room for improvment. but whoever designed Be More Objective II, i want to punch you in the mouth. my team AI allis are off doing their own thing while im trying to get the objective done and im being killed in 1 hit. i mean really? a heavy. in 1 hit. from and smg. then my team is off doing whatever and im getting hit by a wall of mg fire as i turn the corner (for those that have played it, its the operative part of the left side of the map)

Why is my team's AI rediculous?
