Me, Skill Issue, and I

Mess Room
1

I’ve been playing Pacific and Normandy these days and, besides the usual random mess with team composition and either side steamrolling in turns, it feels like I die a lot more than the usual.

I notice it particularly in frontal 1 vs 1 engagements. The other guy appears to be faster than me more often than I was used to, even if apparently he wasn’t already targeting me. For the same reason, encounters with whole squads end very quickly with my demise.

So now I’m wondering if the reason is whether I’ve just started to meet more real and veteran players, or bots have also been significantly buffed.

Noscope 360spin headshot is always bot. Especially if he sits/stands and does nothing at the moment you approach him. But ye, bots got buffed a while ago along with the bolt rifle buff

as the time goes by, probably both.

bots get bufffed within each update, and players becomes better ( not all of them )

Yesterday I did went to grind Moscow, and sit 2 of my bots on a window with mgs.

Somehow i got 90 kills with that squad. Mowing down people 300 miles away.

Bots got better. More agro. I hope they stay this way.

There also the case that there are Alot of better and better players as time goes. People gain skills and so on… Could be both on your case.

It’s particularly painful in Pacific since both sides’ early SMGs have relatively bad TTK, so while I try to pump out enough lead to kill even just the first guy, still usually he’s like “me and the boys shredding to pieces the idiot who thought he caught us by surprise”.

well i have been getting killed in weird ways too, specially in pacific… player(bot) is not even looking at me, i want to shoot, he just turns and hs. probably bots are buffed.

btw i could understand loads of cheating accusation when you see that kind of play lots of times…

Some suggestions: shoot ahead of time in places you think you may encounter enemies (such as doors and corners).
It won’t waste too many bullets. You can also help judge whether the enemy will appear in front of you in a few seconds by listening to the footsteps

You’re right, unfortunately I also struggle in open areas and at mid range, lately.

Yes I believe so. Too much

It happen to me too yesterday:
I got inside a building. A guy was looking at the window with a bot next to him.
I killed the bot, the guy turn, shoot me, and look back at the window so quick that even the kill cam show him aiming at the window.

It was so strange.

Maybe he was a bot too. Anyway if I got doubt I always look at the score board.
And I’ve never seen “too much kill” that could betray a cheater.

My experience with bots in the Pacific is that they always see me, go prone and take 2 shots, usually missing, then run away like I was never there

They can see through bushes.

Some Pacific maps let you make pretty significant flanks so it’s pretty funny that everyone’s bots always stop to take shots at me but the players never skip a beat.

yeah… i think they should nerf those flanks. sometimes i get to places and build rally points where enemy should spawn.

Yesterday morning I played only one battle in Tunisia.
My squad members got shot one by one by AI bots with x-ray eyes lying in bushes far away.
I could hardly move my squad towards the objective without being shot to death.
