bots are hard

[AK47 WARRIOR]

Hello guys

Don't you think that bots in coop hard or some thing

thank you

They are difficult in that they swarm, use vehicles to great effect (especially anti-aircraft), and mainly because they are... well... aimbots....

They are cranked up difficulty wise because of how predictable they are, and while they tend to swarm, any effective combined arms actions they make seem to be coincidental.

They march like zombies, so people routinely sit in AFVs and rack up hundreds of kills, as the bots will just lemming rush right into the same locked down corridors over and over again.

They also walk down the middle of streets, etc.

Also keep in mind that they see through all concealment, and will shoot through it as well.

Bots can be fun, but once you get the basics down try deployment, you will quickly adopt that as your primary game play mode.

Bots on the maximum difficulty (well they used to be like this atleast) would head shot you from way out of view distance so yeah they can be hard.

WOW They really are zombies but if they can see through
concealment how im going to sneak up on them ?

Any chance to let them easy?

COOP isn't half as hard as Online can be, mainly because Bots are more predictable than players and they don't use tactics

yeah when i be SQ For bots to order them go here or attack here they might not respond only if you order them to attack a position or defend it

You can lower the difficulty. The slider is currently unnamed, so that's a bit hard to do at the moment, but I'm sure someone can tell you which one it is. The next patch will fix that naming issue, too.

Anyway, the difficulty setting only seems to affect their accuracy. Everything else, like them being lemmings and able to see through concealment, including smoke, is not changable. Vanilla BF2 had no real concealment that wasn't cover at the same time, no forest maps that had more than a few bunched up trees here and there, no bushes larger than a sitting man... So the AI was never coded to take that into account. You cannot sneak up on a bot, unless you are able to constantly use cover and then pop up behind them. Even then though, the moment you shoot at them, they will instantly know where you are, even when they are inside a vehicle.

Generally speaking:
Bots shoot and see much better than players. They use no cover and have no brains, however, so as soon as you find a place where you can ambush them, they're screwed.

Take it from someone who plays a lot of coop, the difficulty is very map dependent.
I could win on Muttrah city or El Basrah with a single infantry squad and two guys flying heli's/manning apcs. I wouldn't even attempt Lashkar Valley or Kozelsk without at least two full infantry squads, preferably more. Add 2-3 heli pilots with balls of steel for Operation Baracuda.
