Fix AI movement

ever since i started playing this game the ai movement been a curse for me, why they have to make such sharp turns and stuff. There are times when you really need to have insane aim to hit those shots, for me its pretty clear that enlisted aim to have easy bots as targets player can shoot and have relaxing time, though the ai movement makes that hard, i remember when i came to the game it was very very frustrating since i had no other options other than just keep trying to shoot these ducks.

alternatively make them move less on their own and just hold position so it will occur less often though I think that fixing ai movement would be a massive improvement to new player experience, those who do not have any powerful auto guns yet.


this is an example where I miss my shot because ai in split seconds changed his position. You can see the AI does a couple of this sharp turns too. Why do they have to do that?

let me get this right?
You want Ai to hold there positions, so you can shoot them? with out them moving?
That clip is funny, because it ran away from you, i found that interesting, and then bot knifed you?, after turning on the spot.
And the fact you could of survived if you only press what ever button you have for melee attack, maybe.
Is a never ending thing, nerf Ai, or fix Ai, seems they can never find right balance.

Edit
And also, this works for you too, if it reversed?,
so you would want your own bot to have died, instead of move away from attacker, then it won out in end.

They react only to the sound, they are practically blind. That’s why they behave that weird. They should make them look in direction of battlefield and enemies like we players would look plus they also should have emulated eyesight. Right now bots are nothing but bats using echolocation to aimbot your ass. Instead of rushing and dying you should be peeking at the corner and killing them one by one.

yes, I want natural AI movement even if my AI would become easier targets, I don’t think that it would change much, though it would definitely fix those frustrating moments in which your shot should have hit and didn’t only because the AI moved in unnatural way.

I believe inertia for AI would do wonders. It would also make the battlefield more authentic.

AI is blind especially if you’re prone, one time I managed to fully arm the bomb in destruction mode with enemy AI standing the whole time next to me, this is common thing.

You are right but I think it happens in almost all online games and I don’t know if there is a solution, the AI does not have acceleration, from 0 km/h to running in an instant and vice versa.

This is especially annoying with a sniper, this game has bullet trajectory, and you have to predict the fall and shoot “further ahead of the target the further away it is” by the simple travel of the bullet, when they stop and run instantly it is annoying, this not only happens with the AI, but also with the players.

It would be nice if they had a more natural acceleration and mass… but well, maybe all that additional information affects the performance of the game or the network x.x

i realize that, alternatively they could just move less, I don’t see the point why they’re spinning around in place. I think it’s enough that they follow the player and thus have to move. Imo it would be better if AI would follow me and when I stop they just hold a position and stay in formation. It’s not entirely the lack of mass and acceleration causing this, I have no such trouble in lonefighters mode, because players simply aren’t spinning in one place like that.

look closely to my vid, the AI did THREE spins in 3 seconds from which the third one was melee spin which is another topic…

That bot turned at Mach 5, it’s funny but annoying (I saw him try to melee and mid animition the bot just turned and meleed faster than him)

Or constantly standing exactly on top of whatever it is I’m building, even after I tell them to stand somewhere else. We can dream.
