Got it last night. Had a bit of a play in single player. Great fun, and the bot teammates are actually half intelligent. Can't wait to give it a go on line.
Wow I found the AI very intelligent I even try to compete against them in the who took least damage or killed most special infected. Hell they can save me quicker then my human friends when a hunter jumps on me or a smoker grabs me.
If your playing at Easy, or Normal they are very good, but they get less good the harder you play.
Which would make sense. In the end, humans at the tougher levels are better, but the bots do help out alot when you get caught by the smoker.
Anyways, played versus with 8 guys who all knew each other and I must say, it was a blast. Our team was dominant. We beat each level and the 4 of us actually made it to the heli.
The other team was brutal with the special infected. We were waiting for the copter and they kept on attacking us one by one. They would widdle down our health bit by bit. It didnt work with the many health packs we had. All of us waited till the ladder sequence near the top of the roof. Two hunters attacked them and got them down and once the other guys helped out, biled them and then threw him off the roof. The left a person to die and then just finished them off. It was brilliant. There hasnt been a game where I laughed like a Bond villain.
Great ****ing game. The mic makes the game soo much better.
What difficulty do you play on? I play on normal found the hard difficulty a bit to hard when I played single player haven't tried with friends though.
Indeed. I play with a couple friends. We always play on the same severs, and usually on the same team, all with mics. It really makes a difference when you actually play as a team and communicate throughout. I have found though that even when playing with randoms you don't get idiots like you do in games like CS that just grief people. Not nearly as much anyway. It's a really well balanced game. I play it way too muchthough.
I wouldn't say the bots are that bad. They do get themselves dead fairly easy but i don't think they are any better or worse than what any other game offers in team AI.
