GIVE US CO-OP BOTS!!!!!

I echo all of the points to support brining bots into bf2.

I'm almost ready to cancel my pre-order and play the demo until EA/DICE give us what we want.

If they bring bots to BF2, they won't be good. They'll be half-ass, just like in 42 and Vietnam. You'll have to wait for the community-made bots

PunkBuster · 06-05-2005, 11:14 PM

No the bots in BF2 are actually decent, they listen to you and know what to do to win. The single player mode is set to 16 players because that is the bots best setting, you can turn it up to 64 but that dumbs them down. I think DICE just didn't want to bother with bots in multiplayer figuring that no one uses them, but they are great for practice. No doubt Battlefield: Singleplayer will release a co-op mod shortly after release of BF2.

Give me bots or you can keep your lousy over rated game.

DanTesla1 · 06-06-2005, 12:25 AM

Yes, they do know how to win - they're bots. They're the game. But, they don't act and think like humans, so they will just sit there and stare at you. They won't be much fun. Granades? they won't use 'em. They'll circle around the carrier in planes just like they did in 42. They'll be just as annoying, and won't let you have any fun by taking all the vehicles. I say screw 'em and get on with MP. The Battlefield Series is not ment for singleplayer.

Wingman · 06-06-2005, 12:51 AM

I don't want bots for online MP, I want them for LAN coop MP which is how we play Desert Combat now.

There are bots, and apparently they are a lot smarter than normal. If they aren't enabled for co-op with release, a mod will be out within days of release enabling it.

Wingman · 06-06-2005, 01:48 AM

I am hearing rumblings in other places that the bots might still be availiable for LAN play. Thats good news.

Thats in single player, not multiplayer

Yeah, we are not talking about SP bots. We are talking about MP bots. Can you read??

IDK. But answer me this: why would they add in SP bots and not MP bots? Battlefield isn't ment for SP - there isn't a story line. SP will just be like it is in BF42 and BFV - LAN with bots and that's it. Watch who you're talking to.

PunkBuster · 06-06-2005, 07:55 PM

Dan thats what we are discussing here, why there are bots in sp but not mp. I know its hard for you but please try to follow along.

Try reading the entire thread, especially the interview. That should bring you up to speed. But for the quick answer, here is the section of the interview that this thread is based on.

DICE
Is there a Co-Op function?
IGSOA
The only mode in Battlefield 2 that includes bots is Single Player.

Guess you better watch who you're talking to.

DanTesla1 · 06-06-2005, 08:52 PM

You guys still don't understand.

If there is only SP bot support upon release, a 3rd party bot MP mod will be out just as quick. So, there isn't much disscussion as to whether or not there will be MP bots.

Wingman · 06-06-2005, 09:03 PM

Thank goodness for modders. We can always depend on them to fix what EA/DICE broke.

We know, that has been established, the question is why didn't DICE put in mp bots on release

grim reaper · 06-06-2005, 09:08 PM

Why didn't they add all those new maps to 42 on release, why didn't they add all the patches before release?

Time.

They had a schedual to meet and Coop was decided to be expendable, they know full well they can add it in a new patch.

PunkBuster · 06-06-2005, 09:09 PM

they cut coop back in February, they had time

Wingman · 06-06-2005, 09:11 PM

They want BF2 to be about teamwork, but they cut out Coop against bots in MP. Ummmm, I don't get it? Seems to go against everything they claim they want BF2 to be. But like DanTesla1 said, the modders will hook us up.
