Bots. We hate to play with them and love to play against them, but recently I’ve found that they’ve been more of an inconvenience than anything else.
The thing about bots is that once they spot you, you either kill them or get lasered by them the instant you turn a corner, which is really just not fun when it comes to bots holding weapons such as the asm10.
Bots also get unfair advantages with certain weapons. Given their aimbot-like nature, shotgun using bots are extremely unfun to play against and can cause lots of grief during objective-based games, where they may sneak up on you and immediately wreck your shit with a by15.
Another weapon, which i’m unsure of whether or not it’s a bug, is the M21 EBR. I, myself, have used this weapon a fair bit- Enough to know that the damage isn’t high enough to kill in one shot regardless of where you hit your enemy unless they’ve already been damaged. However, I have turned many a corner at full health, only to be killed in a single shot by a bot using an M21- Which is impossible given the weapon’s low damage.
It’s made even worse when the other team is sweating as hard as they can and stomping you into the ground, and then you just get lasered from across the map by a bot with an asm10 that saw you for the briefest of moments and immediately locked onto you.
So then, given what we know about bots basically locking onto players as if they were using a blatant aimbot cheat, I feel it is only fair to ask of the devs to either change them a bit so that they don’t stay focused on a target after they’ve broken line of sight, or remove then altogether (outside of practice vs ai, of course.)
I know I may just be talking to a brick wall on such a matter, but after losing my last game because a bot traced me through a building on meltdown while the score was 39-39 and then sprayed me down the instant I exited the building again, I had to really put some thought into whether or not we actually need them.
Please share your thoughts below, thanks.
