titanfall is ruined, thank you bots

To those who dont know this game will feature dozens of bots in addition to 6v6 real players. Someone please fuc!in explain to me why bots are in a competitive multiplayer game? 6v6 doesnt bother me but bots god damn it, even the titans can be ai controlled. This has completly killed the hype for me, this game is for casuals. No wonder all those journalist have been praising thia game, they been killing bots the whole time thinking they are pro.

Ai are people too!!!! You are so racist !#!

I love bots. I wish to god that battlefield didn't ditch bot matches for crappy single player campaigns. I would like to be able to play with more people though.

So Dota 2 was ruined? Left 4 Dead 2 was ruined? Portal 2 was ruined? Counter-Strike: GO was ruined? Borderlands 2 was ruined? Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was ruined? Gears of War was ruined? Uncharted 3 was ruined? Payday 2 was ruined? Oh wait... those are great games and less than 12 players.

Respawn Entertainment: we tried a huge amount of playercounts (all the way down to 1v1 and up quite high) and designed the maps, gameplay mechanics, and entire experience around which played best.

Oh awesome. I love bots. It'd be nice if it was optional though, and maybe just to fill in missing players too.

This thread has nothing to do with player count smh

Yet those games has BOT system like Dota, Left 4 Dead, CS:GO, and none of those are ruined.

Bot makes it awesome.

Old news is old.

I refuse to play those games with bots, because it DOES ruin them. Thankfully it's optional, and you never have to see a bot if you play on decent servers. If a typical session involved playing with bots, I wouldn't play Counterstrike. **** that.

can't speak for all of those, but gears of war definitely suffered because of playing bots. NOTHING was worse than waiting 5 minutes because the last one left on the team was a bot hiding against a wall and the other team either also had a bot or a player too stupid to look for and successfully kill the bot. bots that had perfect laser accuracy with power weapons was also a thing.

In short, they brought too much randomness to the game. That doesn't make for a good competitive environment.

So you never played any of those games i listed? Even Battlefield games has bot system. Worms? Never played any RTS game? wow... this means you never played any games of your LIFE!!!

bot would add more strategy to the game because then you would need to defend them or something?

no, they are just cannon fodder. they couldnt fit real players in because they could call on titans so they had to fill the empty spaces with bots.

we haven't seen how it works with the gameplay yet, it could be the bots are designed to work with each individual player rather than less signifcant additions of the individual team roster, maybe there's a way to issue orders like to protect or hold a ground or take point, who knows we really don't know much about their role

anyhow, Left 4 Dead uses countless bots on the 4 vs 4 setup and they're part of the experience and it works rather well, it's up to the player to utilize their own individual roles to make use of the NPCs, like the fat one can burst or spew and make NPCs rush the players, or the one with the tongue can hold people back and allow other NPCs to pounce on them while they can't move, and so on

as far as whether this will work with Titanfall will remain to be scene, hopefully it's not there just to replace missing players on an unbalanced team

Sweet, bots are always appreciated :)

u disgust me

Massively fucking stupid overreaction to an insignificant detail. Shocker.

You mean arena games like Quake and Unreal,both classics and for many the best arena shooter franchises ever,and yet...they have bots.

eermm the bots in those games fill in spaces of real players, if the servers are full there are no bots. titanfall features bots in addition to 12 humans. massive difference

'insignificant' haha yeah i wonder why there are no bots in addition to humans halo/gears/cod/battlefied, oh wait, because its fuc$kin game breaking. it destroys all competitive aspect

As someone who played a lot of gears I have to interject and say that bots did ruin it. Certainly in TDM. They basically leached your lives faster whilst simultaniously picking up power weapons, giving them to the enemy, and generally making it even harder to clutch.

It all depends on how they're implemented, if it's more like Dota or that kind of idea, where the bots are your minions and you're the leader of the squad/hero, then it should be fine.

Cows so bent and jealous over TitanFall. Nothing new, just accept the fact that this game will never grace the PS4.

Bye.

Don't play it. I will.

It seems they are ripping off "creeps" in dota. Only without any skill, the AI will do the work for the console player.

but what type of bots? Titans can be controlled by AI and this was already known. OP a butthurt cow looking to bash TitanFall coz it ain't gracing PS4 lol

It seems they are just adding them as cannon fodder. They are not the same "class" so you can bet they won't be more powerful than players. So they will serve as free kills for people who are not very good.

I bet they use aim-bot as well.

lol BOTS? Not optional? lol.... This game is even more run of the mill than I thought... this will come and go just like the pile of played out games in the genre it is in. No competitive player takes bots seriously. Although not completely game breaking, to have them to fill in matches, the ability to NOT have them is VERY important. If they are ALWAYS there that is a joke.... that would explain the 6v6 that didn't make any sense. 7/10 get hyped.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.

Well i think now we know the catch to titanfall only 6v6 matches but the other people are bots hmmmm, it all comes down to how good the bots are otherwise, it's a little dissapointing. esp when you consider alot of fps players were hoping for 64 player games and was so happy when consoles finally got it, i guess will have to just wait and see.

Normally bots are used to replace human players when there aren't enough or you want to play it single player.

So if they need bots clearly 6v6 isn't enough.

pre ordered canceled.

The game is designed to be a merging of single player and multiplayer. You have to have bots if no people are available to:

• Play off line
• Keep the experience consistent.

I don't see a problem here.

@Harisemo: @cainetao11: @FoxbatAlpha: hahaha lems still failing to grasp the basic concept of exclusivity. let me spell it out for u, TITANFALL IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO SHITBOX, I DONT HAVE TO BUY SHITBOX TO PLAY THE GAME. do u now understand?

except its online only, there is no offline. u dont see the problem with having bots in competitive multiplayer? lol delusional lem is delusional

I'd rather have bots fill the gaps if I am playing at 3 AM than not have the full experience.

@StormyJoe:

If they are like the bots in L4D, that team will suffer.

i rather shoot myself than buy x1, i guess we are just different people

If 6 vs 6 is enough why are there bots? Doesn't make any sense.

'normally'

Yeah, the last thing we need is games doing anything unique or unusual. I was looking forward to call of duty with robots.

Is there no option to turn off bots?

Cows still failing to grasp the fact that I never say it is exclusive. It just aint on the PS4/10.

You will have 6v6, with each player capable of commanding or piloting their Titan - the enemy bots add to the multiplayer-singleplayer hybrid they are doing. There is a story here and the additional bots will aid in telling it.

Thank you for suggesting that. Great idea, let me know how it turns out.

@FoxbatAlpha: wow u still crying about titanfall not being exclusive? hahaha cant wait for the damage control once the series makes it way to ps4. and yes its inevitable

i hope thats the case but they i dont think it is. im pretty sure they are talking about competitive multiplayer

Could be. But, I don't think the journalists who played TF at E3 were playing against other people, and they apparently had a lot of fun.

Well, that just emphasized your dumbass "fanboy" mindset, doesn't it?

@ghostwarrior786: You are so butthurt

Sorry, but bots are optional in L4D and CS:GO
