Venting your BOT frusterations

Phrenzy · 09-20-2002, 01:21 AM

Here's where you can vent some of your bot frusterations. I don't care what anyone else says, these bots are the most frusterating in ANY game i've ever been in. For one... they SUCK... two, they take up huge amounts of resources... and THREE, my biggest bitching rant, is that they are the most insane gunners you will ever see. I was in wake, on BFCPT server... and there was this bot duo in the APC. I got shot down SIX times in my plane flying near that APC. I was even a large distance away from it, and in one and a half seconds flat I was flaming to jump out, or blown right up in the sky.

These guys are the most idiotic bots in any game! At least in other games I have played they do not shoot 1500 times better than the best player in the world. These bots should be wearing white robes, because they are like gods when it comes to shooting you down. they ALWAYS know where you are, they ALWAYS kill you if you are in a plane and they are in a machine gun with full movement capabilities, like the machine gunner hatch on tank, or apc. They even shoot me down with the damned bloody coaxial machine gun that accompanies the main gun! EVEN WHEN the machine guns cant even reach that angle. I've tried it. the tanks can only aim so high, yet the bots can shoot you outta the sky with the coaxial machine gun at those extreme high altitude angles.

They were good at tank killing too.

Did Dice purposely model smacktard behavior into the bots? I started up an instant battle at Iwo Jima as axis. I ran to get a plane to take care of the carriers. I get in, and a jeep races across me, the bot gets out and hops into the plane, leaving the jeep there. So, I start to take off, and then another jeep races towards my plane, and rams me! It was like I was playing on an EA demo server! We all died of course. What the hell is up with this? Is it going to be patched?

Phrenzy · 09-20-2002, 03:44 AM

Yeah. the bots are super good at tank killing too. They can accurately hit you from two quarters of a mile away, while we have the hardest time. Their algorithms should have a form of 'human error and flaw' incorporated into it to make them a little mroe believable. Imigine where the world would be today if the german army were these bots... the world would be conquered with ease, and eventually the world would blow up due to the bots stupidity.

CJMello63 · 09-20-2002, 03:46 AM

They still go prone in front of an on rushing tank though. Your own bots jump in and out of the vehicles, enough to piss you off so you have to TK them just on principle.

They are clearly idiot savantes. Amazing with a weapon in their hands, and so stupid even my mother could push one off a cliff and kill him.

Ya, with the K-Mart underwear.

blinderbomber · 09-20-2002, 03:57 AM

OMG. They are too accurate. I practice my tank skills against them and basically I spend 1/2 the time repairing my tank because they can hit you at like .5 a mile away!

THE WORST THING IS WHEN YOU REPAIR A TANK JUST TO HAVE IT STOLEN BY YOUR OWN FSCKING BOTS WHO THEN DRIVE IT INTO THE ENEMY AND DIE! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!

(sorry about the screaming, but i hate that sh*t)

Phrenzy · 09-20-2002, 04:04 AM

Well... this is the place to vent... Just keep the vulgar stuff to a minimum, and we'll be fine <grin> Damn those blasted bots! I want to descramble their code digit by digit just to torture them!

Creeper · 09-20-2002, 04:08 AM

Me: "Attack the airfield!"
Bot1: "I eated the purple berries, it tastes like...burning..."
Bot2: "What's a battle?"

CJMello63 · 09-20-2002, 04:09 AM

I steal their vehicles. They spawn about 10 seconds before me so I run up to a vehicle they are commanding and jump in. I hit the radio to "Bail out!" When they do I jump to the drivers side and take off. If they jump back in they only stay a second or two before jumping out again.

LOL... I love Ralph

"How do they taste Ralph.... Good?

<moaning>

CJMello63 · 09-20-2002, 04:11 AM

I like the bots that just stare at the sun for an hour or so. They see your jeep coming and decide to jump in front of it.

Kassel · 09-20-2002, 04:40 AM

and then there are those that just take your fucking jeep... its like "Hey asshole..... requesting a pickup...." and he drives away .... I love it when they get stuck in the sand and walk around in circles...

lol that was funny to read

I was on gazala about to take off in my beloved spitfire. The engine roared, the dust began to sweep out from the wheels. Look out germans i quietly said to myself. Then i saw him. That bastard tank. Turning into the airstrip, moronbot decided that a plane would move before his tank would. It was a game of chicken. And as we came closer and closer towards each other, i realised all too late that just like in life, i was to be the loser. As we colided, i imagined Rommels face smiling. Pieces of me went everywhere, and as i sighed over the stupidity of my own team, i watched the tking tank drive over a sheer cliff and crash onto a canyon floor.

Phrenzy · 09-20-2002, 05:32 AM

I saw two bots in Gazala in BFCPT, take off in two 109s... they turned together to the left after they were in the air. I was behind them in a spitfire firing. then all of a sudden their wings touched and BOOM. They killed each other. Was funny.

Kassel · 09-20-2002, 05:36 AM

hahahahhaha, btw, i love wing clipping an enemy plane, fly next to him then roll so that u push his wing towards the ground, and you will blow him up, instantly

fetchez la vache · 09-20-2002, 08:46 AM

I cry and laugh at the above tales. Laugh because it's true and funny. Cry because it's true and unbelieveably frustrating.

Wake was so bad it was almost frustrating. I was constantly attack by enemy planes, they seemed to ignore all other targets, just 3-4 of 'em vs little old me with a BAR. Hang on, no. Not a BAR. A bazooka. Because it's the only way your gonna kill those 3-constantly-respawning Jap tanks because your own side is too busy driving the only (rarely spawning) Sherman around in circles as far away from the true battle as is humanly possible. I know historically the US lost, but the Wake map is a joke. It's great MP, it's dire SP. I tried 3 times to win before giving up and going to get a cup of tea and letting my side get beaten without me. More satisfying I can tell you!

After only playing 5 SP maps I've pretty much decided not to bother with the SP campaign. I'll play the quick battles to get a feel for the map layouts and then go online. I strongly suspect I'll never bother with SP again.

Sorry, this is more a rant than a funny story. But laugh at me instead!

Morchaoron · 09-20-2002, 08:59 AM

The bots may have a super accuracy, but their weakness is they are too predictable, you can easily beat their tanks 1 vs 3, the bots shoot at the location where you are moving to if you keep the same direction/speed

you can easily beat 3 tanks by moving forward/backward/forward/backward, they'll miss everything
same goes for these anti-tank soldiers, when you zigzag they have a very low chance of hitting

With planes however.. not much you can do about it, its best not to use planes vs bots because they can shoot you down from miles away

Spike21 · 09-22-2002, 08:00 AM

Does anyone else have this in co-op mode create game 2nd page was at 75%turned down to 6% to make game more playable,called AI Bot skill w?slider.Does Help make the bots not so good(white robes @ all)spike out. :/
