I bought this game to have a blast with the multiplayer (IMO single-player shouldn’t have been done to get better ratings). But I am unable to find a decent game (x360) to stay in. I don’t want to play against bots because they really ruin the game for me. You don’t need any decent tactics against them, just run and gun. I believe almost everyone agrees the AI is complete rubbish. What usually happens when I join a game:
-
If I join a “standard” game. There are 2-6 human players and rest are bots. Server might actually fill to to 8vs8 humans but people usually leave when map changes and then there’s plenty of bots again.
-
If I join a “Old skool” game. There are only a handfull of humans (2-6) playing and no bots obviously. I don’t believe many people are actually aware of this game mode or decide to choose it. It doesn’t even say anywhere that it doesn’t have bots. I happened to read the forums so I found out.
What I suggest to improve the situation:
-
Remove bots from “standard” game mode as this is most likely the most played game mode (does SD really want us to be playing with bots?)
-
Improve match-making, better server migration. I’m not actually very sure how well these things are working, but I find it hard to believe that there are only few humans with decent pings playing near me.
(also what’s the difference between “standard” and “big teams” modes?)
