I hate it when I’m prone or kneeling by a window trying to shoot people and I keep getting shoved around by AI soldiers (either mine or someone else’s).
I would suggest that you guys improve your AI movement algorithms to identify if there is already a soldier in the path it’s considering, and if so, don’t go there. It’s just the stupidest thing that I keep getting jostled around by stupid AI soldiers when I’m trying to hold a position.
Completely agree here. Earlier when I was playing, I was going to toss a Molotov in a window when the AI shoved me and made me hit the wall instead… It’s very annoying when this happens!
Another solution I would prefer would be just to make it so your bot squadmates can’t push you.
Yeah, can’t tell you how many times I’ve missed a shot because a bot ran into me just as I was firing, or even pushed me further into view of the enemy (kneeling by a window down in the lower corner, get shoved right out into the middle, etc.).
I’ve tried to work around this, when I had my squad with me, by pointing at the ground a ways off and telling them to hold there, but if it’s a smallish place they still often will crowd me, push me around, step in front of me and absorb my shots, etc.
This could all definitely be improved.
Yup I’ve had the exact same thing happen to me so many times it’s not even funny. It’s especially infuriating whenever the bots do this and they either make you miss a kill, they get you killed, or they just get themselves killed. To combat this, I usually just do as you said and point to the ground a ways off in a different room of the building I’m in. Even if I’m outdoors sniping or on a roof of some sort, I always point them to somewhere behind cover and a ways from me. Just makes life in-game much easier to do it this way sadly.
But not only do the bots do this and get either you or themselves killed, I also find that they just run out in the open sometimes and just get themselves killed. It gets super annoying especially when their death could’ve been COMPLETELY avoided if they just didn’t move out of cover. I find that they typically do this whenever we’re being shot at or suppressed. The AI just panics and wants to kill what’s shooting them, so they run out to try and kill it but just end up getting destroyed. Can’t tell you how many times this has happened to me whenever a tank is suppressing a building I’m taking cover behind. The AI will just run out right in the middle of where it’s shooting and will just get destroyed.
