No Bots, Kthx/ We want justice

Post » Thu May 12, 2011 1:13 pm

On the update... I was hoping maybe give the xbox360 players a way to search for a game with no BOTs. I hate playing with/against BOTs they're so stupid and predicable. When the community goes to play online they want to play with players not BOTS. As of now I log onto multiplayer and this is how it goes, "Ok in a online match, only 2 other human players in the server with full of bots with tremendous lag... why even play here I'm going back to solo so I can at least try the game out."

I've tried for a day now to find a match on XBL and to me it feels like no one in the world is playing Brink except me. I have found matches don't get me wrong but the max amount of human players is like 2-4 with lag out of 16... So what is the point to even play online right now. It's depressing because it looks and feels like such a fun game that I can't play because I got the Xbox version. I'm starting to get sick of games coming off the line like this. It's almost like they need a lemon law for video games.

This is not the issue for PC users because you can select exactly what server with how many people in the server you want to join and with what latency.([censored]s, I wish Xbox360 had options like that)

If the game was designed for a PC and you happen to transfer it over to Xbox so it's playable on Xbox. That information should be on the box or something to warn the consumer that this is not a real game for there platform. I'm not trying to be rude or disrespectful to the Devs but come on. I play all my games based off multiplayer. You can't sit there and tell me that if someone goes to the store buys this game(in it's current state) goes home tries to play online that this game is working as intended. This game is not designed to played alone, this is a multiplayer based game and you play solo when your net goes down.

BOTs ruin multiplayer experience. We need options so we can get into a game with no BOTs or if some people want BOTs they can have that option also. But me, I'd rather do 4v8 over having those other 4 dudes on my team be BOTs and I'm sure the community feels the same way as I do.

I've noticed the lack of players online too, but its probably cause (like me), they're all playing the co-op campaigns with friends over and over again. Also, the bots aren't exactly such a problem cause if you wait, you'll eventually get a good match, give things time and good things shall come your way.

Maybe if multi-player netcode wasn't such a complete failure you'd get to play more humans man. I feel your pain. Everybody is trying to play co-op even though that's complete trash too due to netcode issues and the horrid NPCs/

Or try advanced mode. Sorry to hear you're having difficulty finding matches without bots. I haven't had any trouble finding full human games, but I'm sure the network is a little rocky the first few days after launch.

I had been playing with bots so much that it was a shock to suddenly play with intelligent enemies during a game last night. It made things way more interesting

I'll have to try some of these suggestions out. However I'd still in enjoy an option to to play matches with no bots. So if a player leaves not bot gets filled in just a player.

old skool has min players set to 2, so as long as there is at least one other player there will be no bots
