I just need to share my frustration

Is it just me or does this game have some of the stupidest AI ever? I got it on playstation and so I cannot play online yet. I’m stuck to single player and challenges. The game is decent enough but I cannot stand playing with the AI. They seem to be only focused on firefights or getting their ass kicked. I know dying happens a lot more frequently in this game than others, but it does help to raise my anger.
I don’t like being the only one capable of carrying out every objective. Sure, occasionally I’ll get lucky and they’ll start it, but they almost never follow through. I always have to carry things, hack, do everything. Carrying things is where I run into the most problems as well. I get no back up from my bot team ever. It always seems the other side is much more organized, but I’m assuming it’s not.

And finally, what I see them do. Enemy teams run by each other and do nothing until a few seconds have passed. They don’t throw me revives when standing right there. It just seems bad. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve pulled off hacks when I shouldn’t have due to terrible AI seeing me and not shooting, but it’s too annoying on my team.

I want to experience a bit of strategy, doing my own thing and helping out. I like to take the role of support mostly, setting up turrets on a ledge or doing back missions like keeping the safe houses or whatever they’re called up. But I cannot do that if I am on a team of bots. They are not capable unless I do everything.

I guess I wanted to see if other people had this problem. I know nothing can be done now, but the AI is terrible.

Can’t wait for online to come back, I can see this game doing really well with competent players behind the characters.

I don’t care how stupid the AI is,but If I want to play a soldier,I should be able to play a soldier.

I don’t bother to play online cause of the bull**** lag,and playing with bots is annoying because I have to switch classes every now and then because i’m the only one that will actually try to do the objective. Bots seem to want command posts over doing objectives.

They either need to fix the lag,or fix the AI.

I think you hit it on the mark, i want to love this game but some maps the ai does well the first to objectives then just decides ok the last objective doesnt matter were just gonna fight over command posts till time runs out. It is impossible in some maps to complete the mission without some form of help.

AI is pretty inconsistant. Half the time they are ruthless perfect aim killers, who will gun down the opposition and run through enemy gunfire to toss you a revive. The other half of the time, they are as the OP mentioned.

But this game really shines with all human players, and i’m sorry for PSN being down. I can vouch that in a non-laggy Xbox match, the game is brilliant. If they fix the lag, thats half the battle right there. Put in some stat tracking (as opposed to none) and some different game modes, and this is a 10/10 game for me. I love everything else about it.

I wonder like…you know how they said people didn’t know if other people were playing with them and then they were astounded to be told it was bots were lying to us cause in single player the bots are obsessed with single objectives and don’t spread out evenly to make things a bit easier…it’s like the opposing AI is overwhelming over powered that not even the best gamer that was ever birth could pass some of the situations, lol.
