Make Bot melee reaction slow, especially when its back toward the attacker

Current, bot will literally instantaneously melee any enemy if they in range, even when its back toward the target. It is extremely frustrating to round a corner, find a bot back toward you, and he just instantly snap 180 and melee you.

I suggest adding a slight delay for the bot to melee once someone is in range, for example it could be around 500ms. And also limit the FOV where the bot can melee, aka make the melee auto trigger detection a cone in front instead of a radius around the whole soldier.

That’s pretty much one of the few things in which bots are good at. Everything else they’re crap. At least they have the melee department covered.

They will also build spawn points and anti-tanks
This makes them smarter than 60% of players

To be honest, one melee attack shouldn’t kill you, it should take at least two blows as it shouldn’t carry more impact then a bullet. They neutered the AP mines to the point where they are almost useless other then to slow someone down, it’s time to neuter the melee attack to a more realist level.

500ms is 5s.
Another thing is stop demanding bots to be stupid. Bots are supposed to be effective, not just dummies for killing.
Bots react very well to melee combat. When you attack them head-on, expect a reaction.

1 second is 1000ms, 500ms is half a second, currently bot melee will trigger in less than 200ms even if you are behind them

Give them something to work with. At least they can somewhat melee people.

there is no middle ground with bots.

they are good at tossing grenades back at you too.

out of his ass cause he had his back turned :expressionless: :laughing:

AI are terrible and only canon fodder - unless when in melee range, then they suddenly become Terminators.
