Is it just me or do all of Brink's enemy AI seem to favor an extremely accurate, powerful and rapid fire sniper, making some challenges (be more objective) near impossible?
Nevermind that even a Heavy character cant step out into open fire without being put down in a matter of seconds?
I really like Brink for all of its pros, but there are some heavy cons in the mix also that need DIRE attention.

Be more objective was a cakewalk for me. Just run at every objective with a light bodytype before any of the bots can safeguard/camp. ^_^

But yes, the A.I. is terribly perfect with their shots. Wish the Teammate A.I. could do the same..

I've said this before but I believe the reason why the make the enemy AI much stronger then your own AI is on purpose. If your team was as good as their team, you really wouldn't have to do anything, and that's not the point of single player play. I for one would be upset if they DID make it easier.

Also, there are different difficulty levels, and yes the Hard mode is 'Hard'. That's the point, and how they do that is by making YOU, the human character, have to carry the team. The bots are still bots. Modern day AI even if they are 'Hard' bots won't stop getting killed in the masses by one good human.

They don't all carry SRs. Most are just deadly with SMGs and ARs. I watch the obits go by and it's usually not an SR that killed me in what feels like one shot.

On the higher difficulty levels, AI/bots have what seems like a 75% headshot rate, which is why they take you down so quickly compared to how fast you're able to take them down. Cant say I agree with using that in correlation to difficulty, but there it is.

it kinda seems though that in a challenge where you are forced to nearly ignore the AI if you want to succeed in the given time, making them so deadly with whatever weapon theyre using is a bit annoying, to say the least

They're not using snipers, most just drop you with SMGs. I rarely see a Light Rifle go by on the obits.
