So I’ve been REALLY getting into this game so much so this is the first time I’ve ever been on a games forum. So I was really excited to read about a gamemode where you can FINALLY get rid of the gawd awful AI, but it just quietly got yeeted to custom ?Kinda dissapointed considering with thew new updates on berlin the bots are a bit psyotic. Also for you Russian cuties listen to asthetics across the color line
I feel like they announced it multiple times in the news. But that might just be me missremembering
And also, they moved it to custom because of a non existant playerbase. There wasnt enough players so the matches were filled with bots anyways. You can see now that they are in customs that there are barely people there.
The main gimmick/appeal of the game is the squad system. And as much as i love this game i have to admit that without the unique squad system the game wouldnt stand a chance against other ww2 fps titles
I would say the major reason why this game is dead is because of the squad AI and they are forcing it more and more into your face. This game has become fully single player game with bots and a bunch of paywalls. I don’t see them recover from this if they keep going this way. I expect them to do a final steam release to milk the last money they can and shut it down.
This game is literally built on concept of having your own AI squad… if you want to play generic FPS then you should look somewhere else… market is full of these games.
Lone fighters was requested by few (with strong opposition against implementation of the mode) since CAT… and just like it was predicted, LF became pretty much an unwanted child that was left behind by majority of the community.
Also, moving it to custom matches pretty much fulfilled wishes of those few “remove bots from LF” players.
Bruh nobody wanted AI squads in the first place. People were disappointed from day 1 it was announced its gonna be squad AI. And its exactly as you said. If I want a multiplayer generic ww2 shooter I will look someplace else. As most players did. Enjoy your dead game with the other 10 players who still try to defend this failed venture of Gaijin.
That´s not what LF queues are saying since the very introduction of the mode
And even if Enlisted was according to you supposed to be generic FPS on the very start of the development, this was obviously scrapped and game built on something else entirely.
Your failure to acknowledge that is not really our problem anymore. Enlisted is built on AI squads, and thus majority of players who play this game came here partly because of the squad concept.
If LF was such big and expected deal, then it wouldn´t be dead on day 1 after it was released (which it was and pretty much stayed that way… as we predicted).
Game is dead so no matter what copium you are trying to insert in here about AI suqads its not really working. You are not just playing against other players that have a squad with bots . Now you are playing with fully bot squads that have zero players involved. Enjoy
You clearly dont play this game or play Tunisia as Allies.
With that you just acknowledge that the game is dead and your best bet to met a real person is in that one camping that its still full of bots.
Probably he played only LF with 90% bots and thinks it’s hardcore.
All I said was, that LF was dead on day 1 since there was only ONE campaign.
Since then playerbase got pretty much divided between four (and there are some individuals who would wish for even more campaigns) campaigns, which took its toll.
I´m not saying game doesnt need more players. It does, in fact… fixes, polishing and content to current campaigns should be the focus to attract more players of course.
What I´m saying is, that LF was hopeless since the very beginning and every attempt to change it has proven to be a waste of development time that could go to main mode.
The game is getting worse and worse in population so do you think the devs are making the right decisions?
I think that wasting any more time on LF was and still IS a bad decision that is only wasting development time.
currently squads are the only thing that makes enlisted not “generic ww2 fps no. 25454”
also in custom games there are currently 2 decently full LF games with a total of around 90 players. this seems far from a healthy player count
Its not dead, Tunisia is just campaign where no one wants to play axis.
Berlin, Moscow and Normandy are full of players all the time.
But hey, you can say what you want, you wont change fact game is not dead, but LF is dead mode.
Custom games are horrible. You get one game in a top hours and its friendly fire on and there is always 5 idiots there to just mow down friendlies and when you try to vote kick them you dont get enough votes and the game is dead. Mentioning custom game as an option at all is just silly.
Well, this is what you LF players wanted… to get rid of bots, failing to acknowledge that there isn´t even enough players to not have bots in all your games… and there never was.
FF was there before they put it into customs, there being teamkillers is unavoidable
Why would anyone wanna play a custom game after what I just explained about them. Stop being intentionally ignorant of what I am saying. It feels like the devs did their best to sink the lone fighter game so their squad AI game have a chance and its still not working like everyone exptected. bots in a multiplayer PVP shooter game will never work out and then you add all the problems on top they already have with the game. The only good part of this game are guns and shooting . Everything else needs shitload of work to be fixed.
Yeah, introducing hardcore mode was probably (or at least so far) the last attempt to revive LF. It didn´t really go well.
You should too…
This is not the case of thriwing mode slowly declining into being trash.
It was trash that didn´t fit the game since day 1 and that is feedback we gave to developers. Either massively overhaul it, or don´t waste your time.
Of course they eventually scrapped the idea of LF being in main modes since feedback to the very idea of having it around was overwhelmingly negative since the very beginning.
