DEVS can you PLEASE!

Can you “PLEASE” speed up your BOTS to actually “RUN” and not move like they have a giant stick up their ass? Why is it “NOT ONE” of my squad BOTS can be anywhere close to me unless I walk or crawl to the battlefield? Is it really that hard to program them to mimic the leader? So if I sprint, why can’t they? 2/3 of them are always dead before you can use them…WHY? Because they can’t keep up, they stand like statues out in the open because they don’t stay where you tell them to, or they are lagging so far behind who knows what kills them. I shouldn’t have to give each individual BOT an order to stay in one spot since they should be smart enough to stay with the general stay order. NTM that my radioman “IS ALWAYS” killed first, even if he never leaves the bunker kilometers from the battlefield.

You know, your game is cool, your weapons are cool, but your match making sucks and your BOTS are to put it mildly, Terrible. Can we ever expect someone to address this before the end of the century? I’m not holding my breath. :smirk:

I agree.

Can we also please have AI face the direction of the last soldier who died.

As in you’re controlling a soldier, they get shot (it happens), you respawn instantly.
Problem is, the next chap is looking everywhere except the enemy.

So you are completely disorientated and get killed instantly.
Rinse repeat a few times and you lose the whole squad in the space of a few seconds.

I haven’t got any real life combat experience, but I’m pretty sure when the enemy is shooting at your mate, you’re looking in the same direction. Not facing the complete opposite direction while bullets fly past your head.

Also, does anyone else have the problem of the server apparently not being quite sure where the soldier you just switched to is actually standing causing you view to phase through walls, and sometimes move a significant distance before settling down?

Yeah, I will switch to the next soldier and for a second, he is outside of a building or bunker, then mysteriously materializes inside the building. I don’t complain about this though because usually he was supposed to be inside that building or bunker, so I figure it is just a glitch. But I have told my bot soldiers to stay downstairs, and when I switch, some are where i ordered them to stay, one might be upstairs and two others are outside. I have even found soldiers who were ordered to stay, in other buildings quite a ways from where I am, and I never left the same building I had ordered the bots to stay in.

Honestly the bots in this game are absolutely useless.
If they are shot at, they stop, sometimes even start walking towards the shooter without firing back, etc.
If shot at when in cover, they leave cover to die.

I get that AI are here mainly to “enlarge” the matches and provide new/bad players with something to kill. But theres no need to make the AI completely braindead.

Original battlefront 1 AI are more advanced.

Yeah, and in every war game I have ever played, whether it be online or strictly on your own computer, the AI bots are so much better, and your right, Enlisted Bots are worthless.

Your suggestion is perfect, I was thinking the same thing these days, when the entire troop dies looking in opposite directions to the enemy, while they are killed like cattle! :clap: :clap: :clap:
