Now some of them, not even following you They just stay behind until they die or get killed!
Some other times you have to hit the X key 50 times so they start responding, of course not going where you want them to go, but wherever there is no cover so they can got killed easier.
Even the pathfinding of them got worst! Now your main going through a broken wall, but the Artificial Idiots got to circle the full building find a door and try to get in and of course they again getting killed
The command like Formation > Close or Behaviour > Passive are also a joke. Not working at all.
All these, plus the many network errors and lag where you see enemies running on the same position without moving, for sure are making the game worst instead of better on each update you do.
You have to set your team priorities to FIRST resolve the problems and then add new things…
Its true. The AI in this game are, at best, mediocre, and what you say about the buildings is absolutely correct. The player character can jump through windows, climb things, and go into broken walls to avoid large traffic areas and heavy fire, meanwhile the AI run right into the line of fire because they’re to stupid to climb up a window sill or a ladder.
Another thing that makes me insane, is when you throw a grenade at them. The script triggers for them to yell “grenade”. But then they just stand there and stare at it instead of running away or throwing it back. Or if you toss a molotov, they just stand there on fire until they die.
I understand the dev team are working on new ways of making the AI better. But if you’re going to introduce a game with AI, make sure you have a team in place capable of making the AI at least somewhat competent.
Man they are so stupid, they even go outside the boundaries of the map and die…
This is for sure not Artifical Intelligence but Artifical Stupidity
you are being too generous
I see inconsistency with the AI but at the same time I’m happy it exists in this game. Controlling a squad vs Battlefield is still a better place to be
I suppose it depends how you look at it. Are the AI retarded? sure. But for me they are just a filler to give a more epic ambience (alot more action, heavier fighting, cannon fodder). At best they are just another spawn point for me. So I dont get upset when they are stupid. I expect them to be.
Makes you feel like you are on an actual raging battlefield. If it was only players, you can bet the battles would be so slow, the streets would be empty, people would be camping in windows or squatting in corners.
In the end the bots dont have to be smart, they are just fodder, you are still playing to beat the players, not the bots.
It’s easy to see that they have to invest A LOT of work into the AI. It has the potential to truly add a lot to the game but also is currently the worst nightmare of anyone hoping to control them.
Usually it goes like: You run to the point where you want to go and start attacking or defending an objective. When you arrive 80% of your team already havent made it.
I would already be happy if the AI would manage to hold pace with you, try to follow your path instead of running suicidal down the main street and wont shatter over half the map when you give them the order to stay at some point.
I also like the idea of squads, but to be honest I prefer the AI as it was at the beginning of the game and not after all these updates. When you could order them to stay somewhere and they did not run like crazy until they were killed.
So more stupid, in the end it was better for the gameplay. Now they are just useless dummies.
I don’t know if you guys notice it, but after the latest updates some of them cannot even follow you anymore. They just stay behind stucked in a building or obstacle.
In their default mode yeah the are pretty lame. But if you press K and put them in single soldier, they are at least manageable and respond better.
Seriously just STOP THE ($@#($@(*$&@$$ running away while we are building!
We try to build a #@)(*$ ammo box and they retard AI go outside the building and getting killed FFS
Can you mo@#($&@#$@# at least give them the BASIC intelligence to NOT run out of the limits and dying? Is it SO fkn hard? @#)($@#)($@
