The Bots are at least more useful than they are on vanilla battlefield. I don't know if you changed the AI or what, but I was kind of hoping for bots to follow squad leaders orders, also even stick with a squad leader. How far into the future before we might see something like this from the bots?

The bots listen to me when I tell them to attack or defend something. AND the follow me when I SL, too(most of the time)

the bots are useless against air mostly

but i like them

Bots see through EVERYTHING!!!!!

Idk why but my squad member bots almost NEVER do what I want them to do.

If I tell them to defend, half of them starts walking towards a flag that is not even in play or they mount vehicles and get stuck somewhere.

As it is now, coop is mostly useless imo...

I don't even like how bots are fireing... They start poping while running and in no cover.. They are.. CRAZY!

I don't even know why you are discussing bots... Just go play on an online server.

simple when you're fed up with people who don't listen you go kill a few hundred bots, which ironically don't listen either

They are just bots following waypoints lol, BF2 never intended them to be clever.

If you don't like how stupid they can be, play only the linear COOP maps like Ramiel 16.

The bots basically spawn and head towards eachother's mains with awesome firefights in the street.

I challenge you to take on 40 bots with only 5 humans, it's really hard!

I personally really don't give a shiz about them as I almost never play coop (except for training purposes maybe) but as others stated stuff like "at least they follow basic orders" or "they go where i want them to go" I kinda felt tempted to post my experience with them which is way different.

Maybe I just didn't get the sarcasm

And Rudd, I still thought they would at least go/fight towards the markers the SL put down or defend (stop moving) for that matter...wasn't it like that in vanilla? *confused*

I must admit, I don't care that much lately about the bots, but I lived in student halls for 6 years where games were blocked, so the BF2 bots and later PR were my only opponents most of the year.

I've seen before that other mods are available that can make the bots a little smarter, might it be worth checking them out?

I'm just wondering if there was a mod, or anything to make them better at following orders, because there are no more training servers up. and when you just want to play around with the squad lead abilities.

EHAI - Enhanced Strategic AI but unfortunately it has no front end making it a hair pulling nail biting experience. It did work quite well with FH2 but then again the FH2 SP support forums are full of busy little bees. You can really only polish a turd so much and BF2 bots are truly a bunch of shit heads....but in the end they will be the lasting legacy of any mod.

The one thing I love about the bots is they have no morale and they fight to the absolute death. You can have the last flag completely surrounded and they still try to break through and they do, sometimes.

The only thing i really dont like about bots is that they dont use Helicopters correctly, like Apaches or Cobras. They fly over a flag and get shot down by Aks or something.


Also their super effective AA batteries, like their mobile AAs will pwn your airplane in seconds, they just spam missiles and you have to drop flares as quick as you can -_-


But its hella fun to play Street 2 on Coop with a friend or two.

AA Vehicules/Stationary bots are managed by Chuck Norris clones, when you get locked you died

Yea, but maybe the AI should be enhanced to the Attack Helicopters, and maybe they'll can land and re-arm, like making the Attack Helicopters hover over the combat area and the gunner can shot hellfires, make the tanks and APCs stop shooting at aircraft.

Yeah, I really hope that you can do that. It just sucks when you see a big T-72 and can't Hellfire it 'cause the bot pilot is just flying across the map as fast as it can.

I have cloned my pr folder to free mod the PR without any problem when joining online servers, there, all vehicles that are in maps that feature the Apache or the Cobra have attached a laser box =D so I don't have any problems =D

Anyway, would be good to see that bot helo hovering at high altitude, see that AA being removed from COOP map (I did it by myself), the bots lazing would be nice, currently the only way to do that is if there are 2 bots in a Kiowa and the co-pilot try to kill the infantry, but what they can is only lase all, then I have fun.
