[QUOTE=Je T´aime;328096]When you stuck on the bots team GG you already lost, so ye bots should be default to balance 1 missing player in 1 team, not fill it with bots.
And yes auto balance system would be a lot better.
And make something to be clear that bots are bots, its stupid to spend your medic pips healing and stuff with the bots.
I dont understand whats the point of playng online to play with bots[/QUOTE]
Amen to that!!
This was one of my biggest letdowns of this game. I wouldn’t mind campaign being one or two people and a bunch of bots, but online mode and im still playing with bots? Its just not logical.
never played with more than 3 bots online… usually its starts with couple of bots in the beginning of a map, but quickly changes to 16/16, oh and in server browser for me its shows 12/16 even if there are 4 bots filling in
After the patch yesterday on 360 i found a lot of full or almost full games in big teams and competition always is filled up but I would also like no bots too and a better matchmaking system. The matchmaking in this game feels so far back in time, I really hope (and know I’m not alone) that they fix it soon and make it so we can get full games before matches start and bots only fill up spots from people that leave til it gets filled back up by a human. I ****ing hate joining matches that start off 8v4 and you get spawn camped immediately and then people just leave or if it does get full its too late because the campers already have a defense you cant get past in time (I’m looking at you CCity).
If the matchmaking doesn’t change I don’t think this game will last too long because people will think nobody is even playing if so many matches are bots or uneven, especially with some big shooters on the horizon.
They knew the game was going to be a disaster so they filled it with bots.
Nobody likes a bot. But bots allow rooms to stay open when reduced to few players. 1v1 matches are no fun. This game requires so much teamwork, it’d defeat the point without bots as place holders. Gears of War 1 had no bots and some nights you’d have to play a lot of 2v1 matches. Bots allow for a fuller game match, and if you stick around longer, humans join in. You say no bots, but games like Gears and Brink need bots because they are more team focused than Call of Duty. In team-based games if you are short a player you really have little chance. At least with a bot (as annoying as they are) you can continue playing when there’s not enough people playing. Just hang around in a match instead of leaving as soon as you see no green bars.
Things that should be added:
Matchmaking system
VOIP on as standard with option to disable/mute players easily.
Bot filter for personal preference.
Team Balance.
Thats exactly the problem. Except the matchmaking system does not emphasize on filling up the games that already exist. Sometimes I go into matchmaking and get placed in a 1v0 game of me and 15 bots. It’s retarded.
Yeah if you go through the map list trying to find games on each map you’ll get put in quite a few not-full lobbies that could easily have been consolidated into a few full ones. Maybe we’ll see an update to the matchmaking system.
Also, hopefully the standard playlists will have their max human player numbers increased again now that the lag patch is out, so we can play 8v8 in Old School (a no bots playlist) and Advanced.
PC players are lucky. The console version, for the sake of getting someone “in the action” right away, creates rooms rather than joining preexisting ones. Result? Illusion of no one playing, and people quitting outright
Also why should I have to wait 10-15 minutes for players to join when in almost every other online FPS on consoles, I can push a few buttons and boom find a brand new full game nearly instantly? Where bots don’t exist?
Don’t let empty rooms continue, kill them off. Joining matches in progress is a terrible thing. I hate doing it bcause I have to go suicide run a few times to figure out how the hell the match is being pllayed and how the other players are playing.
This isn’t a console issue though. It’s something Brink is doing wrong. I always get placed into full games or on going games in COD or any other console shooter.
As far as the subject of the Op, I’m not sure I’m in favor of adding a whole bunch of playlists to a game that already doesn’t have the largest playing community but I do understand the desire to play with as few bots and as many humans as possible. I would like to at least see a big team playlist with no bots.

ive never played a 8v8 without atleast 5-6 bots … isnt that sad? a game which was made especially for a good multiplayer, but on the 360 u cant play a 8v8 only with humans … instead of that there are always games with 4 humans and 4 bots on each side - this matchmaking system should fill up the sevrvers with 8 humans on each side before adding gamers to another server.
