update coming but still the bots remain?

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:57 am

OK im pretty sure that everyone who experienced lag switched to competitive play which is 5v5 with NO bots and hardly any lag, sometimes you have to re-search but that can happen in any game. So why have they still not announced removing the bots? they are terrible online.

I joined a standard game, ok i joined several different standard games (before and after they made it 4 players per team 4 bots per team) and there were always LESS players than in competitive BUT i always lagged MORE! i could be playing with friends like 3v3 with 5 bots on each team and it would be horrific! switch over to competitive 5v5 and its bloody [censored] fantasticly good. The only thing i can see here is the bots! unless some how everyone with a really bad connection plays standard and the others go to competitive.

They also didnt say anything about fixing old skool play list =\ last i played its still 4v4 but says 8v8.

also unfortunatly my TV has decided to display black as red on hdmi channels now...so its busted ?_? no BRINK for a while. Anyway i am happy they are updating the game i just think that the bots play a big part in ruining this game with lag and cheapness. (this is probably more of a console thing than PC)

they already did 1 update and a playlist update so im sure a few more minor ones will come

I still don't understand why people care about bots so much in a game that is focused on online, competitive multiplayer. Once the lag is gone, the need for bots will be completely gone imo.

I don't mind the bots at all. I find it fun to be the driving force: pushing up and reviving staying back, basically directing the team without telling them anything. If you understand the bots they can be your weapon. Just have to know how they respond to your actions.

i didnt hear any mention of the texture streaming fix either, cant just ignore issues and pretend they arent there just because some people arent experiencing them . honestly if this isnt fix, doesnt really matter if the game is playable, will still look horrible. im really hoping its addressed in the patch. lag free game play is more important, but if its lookin like turok 64, not sure this game will get much playtime.
