It’s great that finding a match is really quick, but honestly I would prefer to wait another 10-30 seconds if it means my game is filled with real people rather than bots.
In particular, I’ve noticed that no one really plays with Axis on the Tunisia campaign. If you don’t opt to play as only Allies you’re pretty much guaranteed a loss. I’ve played one match as Allies where the whole team combined had less than 10 deaths because the enemy team filled with bots just kept running into the whole team down the same 2 roads (which was great for XP, but not super exciting).
On the inverse, I just got done playing a match as the Axis on Kahif Cave Village East where literally every teammate was just standing in holes on the objective and only me and one other squad were active. A player on the other team racked up around 150 kills just by calling in artillery on the cluster. It was not even a fun or competitive match.
Making the game search queue slightly longer so we can actually pair up with more humans seems like an easy solution. Similary if we could see how many people are playing in each campaign that would help us know where the humans were at.
going for that historical experience as axis in tunisia:
" jokes aside ".
there simply isn’t enough players to begin with.
( that are even slighlty interested in tunisia now days )
you’d be waiting 10 minutes before managing to reach a full game ( exageration on my part, but you get the meaning )
as i’m grinding through tunisia as well, it is somewhat of a nightmare, but the axis period stomping on allies has long passed, and right now it’s just the opposite with allies trying to finish the grind.
your only options are, wait for the merge, or group up with other players to increase your chances of winning.
or… suffer like we are currently doing.
not… ideal. but there isn’t much that can be done right now.
I wish we knew at least how many people were actively in each campaign or at least change the bot names to generic names like in Crossout so you get an idea of the ratio. Right now it just feels like they’re trying to bamboozle us.
will not ever work. from last stats ratio of human players in tunisia is 2:1 for allies. so at best you could have 1 10v10 match and 1 10v0 match. and this is not just 10-30 seconds wait, but extra minute or three to get axis team filled up.
overall just wait merge where most of those problems should be solved or at least severely mitigated.
From what I’ve seen, the major cause of the issue is that they seem to be trying to separate out the pre-made groups of players from the solo players.
While I get playing against coordinated groups as solo players isn’t a good time, there is also the flip side, where solo players are complaining that their teammates are acting dumb and not helping the team.
Additionally, groups have to often carry solo players that they get stuck with. We’ve accepted this, and would really like to play in games that aren’t filled with bots just because there isn’t a squad of the exact same size trying to start a game at that exact moment.
