Topic: Bots!

Ok, I know this is old news to most of you...

True, the bots are quite a handfull in certain situations, but now they're getting downright cheeky.

I was just on Rebel Defiance playing Endor Strike Team.
It was bad enough that I got pinned down in a ravine by a trio of bots.

To make it worse, they then proceeded to come up to the edge looking down on me and started repeatedly side-stepping my shots and mocking me, before finally taking me out.

What did you guys do, motion capture Twigs or something?! tongue




I will be plotting my revenge.

Re: Bots!

Tell me about it...

These bots, while (not always) predictable, shoot every weapon they use as if they had the accuracy of a sniper rifle, with the rate of fire of a E-Web. Man, there are few AAA titles that can match the deadliness of the FS bots.

I vote we nerf them! tongue

lol nah, then I'd feel guilty beating up on them.

Actually, If anything, they should make them even better!
They need to be in top fighting form for Hoth! big_smile

Don't worry, of course I enjoy them being tough. I was just kidding. In fact, I totally agree with you in making them better! If this trend of lethal bots goes any further, my K/D will be going waaaay down.

Re: Bots!

They might be a little tough, but I think the challenging level of them apeals to more people than are put off by them. I think one thing might be to have the ability to adjust the difficulty level through the in game menu which at present we can't do. Maybe that's something we'll look into so that at least when playing singleplayer you can make that adjustment. Not sure if it is possible, but definitely worth having a look at.

Thing is, even though the bots are very potent it is balanced out as when they're coming at you en masse it is unlikely that you won't get any of them as they charge at you, but then they get their own back on maps like Rhen Var: Research Facility when they snipe you through the snow, or the Endor maps where it is difficult to zero in on them through the foliage. All in all I think a fantastic job has been done on our AI, and there is only more good stuff to come in that area in the future.

Re: Bots!

Ok, time to come clean. There are no bots. I've actually just hardwired myself in to a network of computers and play as all the bots simultaneously.

I can make them better if you like smile
