AI needs an overhaul

#1

AI are by far the worst part of the game. They just seem unfinished.
-their unpredictable paths take away any immersion.

  • their spawns are horrible. Wether they spawn right behind or next to you, or continue to spawn on you as you run away
  • they chase way too far. How do you shake the AI??
  • the second you see them around a corner they’re already lazering you with pinpoint accuracy
  • they don’t respond to noise makers???

My solution? Even though nobody asked and all I did was complain?

I think the game would improve if:

  • there were more AI at start, walking patrol paths with less immediate awareness. This increases the challenge for the FT as they can’t just mow down 3 guys and blow the alarms and that’s it. But also there is a possibility to go quiet as they don’t immediately see you.
  • follow distance would use that line of sight mechanic. Maybe they chase you for 5 more seconds after you’re out of LOS. Not find you deep behind a rock when they spawn in.
  • objectives should have a challenging quick time event. Instead of always “oh shoot they heard us, they’re coming.”, Give a really tough challenge similar to the bomb defuse. Fail that? Reinforcements.

You either die a casual gamer, or live long enough to suggest changes on a video game forum

In my experience, they don’t like to chase the Predator very far and will stop right outside their area. However, they absolutely HATE seeing you get a claim. They will drop everything they’re doing just to shoot you during a claim. More seem to spawn at that point too.

I’ve had AI units chase me as a Fireteam member across the entire map before. Their aggression towards the FT is absolutely insane. Same with the spawn rates. There’s been some missions where a bunch of them just spawn out of nowhere.

And I learned to walk but still couldn’t wipe my own ass.

Sorry that was snippy haha but I mean just bc they’ve been improved doesn’t mean they can’t again. They are just super clunky

Facts, they run at you in a column and you mow them down one after the other, or they just spawn right next to you and start shooting. My FT needs to learn their teleportation voodoo.

Overall they just have no realism. I don’t feel like I’m playing against an enemy I feel like I’m swatting flies

i’ll give you the spawn locations are annoying as fuck but aren’t these like a piss take from the soliders in the 87 movie that they took down? isn’t that the point, they’re shit henchmen for arnie and co to easily take out, and in-game they’re just there to annoy you? i mean they baited one of them by whistling in the movie lol. none of them noticed arnie running a fucking truck into a chopper etc etc etc.

They can be bad without being inconveniencing tho
