Why is the hostile AI on terminal impossible?

(peteXnasty) #1

I am tired of playing this map and having my team literally accomplish nothing while the enemy team acts like the most seasoned clan ever

My team doesn’t heal or revive me or anyone. Other team is constantly at full capacity and anyone I injure is back at full health.
my team is spread across the entire map when I have to deliver the datakey while thee other team is 8 strong camped at the delivery point.
my teammates will literally stand on grenades and not shoot their gun while being attacked, while the other team will swarm me the second I appear on their radar
I can’t find an opening whatsoever in the defenses and that’s not counting for the cheating ai, which I’ve seen revive itself with a sliver of HP after I downed him with no animation, dude just got up from IC status…or the instant 180 aimbotting…or the pinpoint grenade tosses.

All on easy mind you.

WHY IS THIS ONE MAP SO HARD?

I can only imagine how MUCH worse it is in real multiplayer, that last delivery is a death trap and the enemy spawns super close

I cannot get past the hacking objective (as the hackers ,Security i think) on hard mode on terminal. The AI are unforgiving Gods of war with an aim that would make a 20 year veteran snipers’ aim look like he was shooting blindfolded. The friendly AI does its best but without the co ordination of attacking in small teams from multiple directions it’s difficult.

However i’m having huuuge amounts of fun. :smiley:

If your not already i would suggest going a light or heavy bodytype for carrying the objective back. Mediums dont have enough speed of firepower.

Hah! you should try the escort mission in the challenges at three star, it’s stupid it so hard. I was yelling at the tv in front of my girl and you know you NEVER do that lol.

I got lucky beating that terminal level on solo. You really just gotta move up slowly on either side and just kinda sit until your team catches up. They seem to come toward you when you get close so just stay as hidden as possible. I got real p*ssed when I did it and got so close to the end and there was no overtime, so when I actually beat it I was super cautious when approaching that last objective with the data

It sucks that we can’t enjoy the map and we end up just wanting it to be the hell over, I feel your pain on that one I had to do it with a team the friendly AI is to focused on secondary objectives and not willing to help you out.

Nothing I try on terminal ever works. The bots are everywhere and never miss.

However I just loaded CCity on hard and beat it one shot with 12k XP. Terminal is the only map that is not possible. I don’t enjoy it because I scroll around my team while im dead and find none of them anywhere, doing anything. On CCity, I was getting ammo and health and damage boosts…on terminal? Nothing. Ever. Why is this? This one map features broken AI on both sides.

:smiley: While everything is quite hard I did every map in at least 3 tries… except for Shipyard as Security that took me like 10 tries lol

AI (at least in the last patch, not sure about the current one) will only really help you accomplish the main objective in the very last minute or so, so keep that in mind :wink:

(BiigDaddyDellta) #8

Sucks that you always have to complete the main I like to be support most of the time.

(peteXnasty) #9

Nah even in the last minute they’re still terrible

I’ve only beaten terminal twice on sheer luck, I slay every other one no problem.

Stuck with these bots indefinitely :frowning: stupid Sony.

has anyone past the three star defend tower solo?

Friendly team AI is terrible, it never does primary objective and it never heals you well.

On the other hand the enemy team seem to be made of 300 spartans lol

I’m not saying the friendly bot ai is good, but you can do things to make a map easier. On the PC at least. Well, technically on my server. I haven’t actually tried these commands in SP. A lot more things would help, but they cheat protected them.

bot_minclients 10 <–reduces max bots to 10 instead of 12.
bot_aimskill 1 <-- 2 is default. I hate it set to 3 on my server
si_botDifficulty difficulty of ai (-1 = ANY, 0 = EASY, 1 = NORMAL, 2 = HARD
bot_doObjectives 0 = bots let the player play the hero, with the bots filling a supporting role, 1 = bots do all the major objectives along with the player
USE THE FOLLOWING TO STACK YOUR TEAM
bot_uiNumResistance The number of Resistance bots to add to the server. -1 to disable
bot_uiNumSecurity The number of Security bots to add to the server. -1 to disable

Cheat protected, but this just makes me laugh.
bot_brainDamage Makes all bots run around in a circle. Idiots. 0: Off, 1: Sprint on the forward, 2: Jump at the end of forward, 3:Slide at the end of forward, 4: Press ‘activate’ to melee attack once every 2 seconds.
