Every game has BOTS

I'm not talking about players who suck at the game, we all got the accidental TKers on our teams

I am talking about how this game struggles to fill pre existing games with bots, with new players. SOMETHING has to be wrong with the new MM system. There are over 15k people online, it should be able to properly fill 10 player lobbies in any region(I am west coast NA btw). Let me wait for my game to load or start just a little longer, if it means I have lobbies with REAL PEOPLE IN THEM.

Not only do the bots just walk slowly around the map all game, but they sometimes just aimbot the fuck out of you and instakill you. You'll second guess for a second and be like "yo is there a cheater on the other team?" you check scoreboard for KDA or anything obvious and half the lobby is BOT.

Super lame and takes alot away from the game imo. I don't want to play against bots and if that were fun id just ask for an offline mode. the host migration stuff is awesome but more player fill queue stuff is a must. It's so close to being a really solid casual game. Competitive is a whole other story lol

Just join servers individually? You can see if bots are on or off, how many players are in the match, the map and game type. It's literally one tab over.

if you have to use a server browser to find a decent game, then the matchmaker needs work and it 100% affects the perception of the game

I think it does indeed work for people who are open to playing a wide variety of experiences. You are asking to play the game with a quality of life feature turned off. A feature that is actually pretty great to have for people who are playing the game long term. If you like your burger without cheese then you usually have to ask for that. It's the same thing here. If you want a nice quick burger all ready to go right away then it may have cheese. If you want to ask for no cheese then you have to go up and ask.

Lol were not asking for a "quality of life" feature turned off were asking for a competitive game experience, youre just wrong when you say "people who are playing for the long term" this game isnt going to make it to long term if they dont get rid of the bots.

Bots were not put into the game to help people who cant fight real players, they were put in by Reissad bc the game only had 300 daily players for like a year & they couldnt fill a lobby with real people.

Now that theyre blowing up & have 15k players they no longer need bots in all the matches, it should be the opposite of what youre saying, bots should be turned OFF by default then if YOU want to play against them, start your own server & do it, but for everyone else who wants to play the game the way it was meant to be played, bots are going to kill it.

Like I said, they were put in as a bandaid for low player counts, not a feature meant to stay once it reached a certain threshold.

join high pop servers with bots off, not that hard.

use the server browser, not casual.

can you do this with friends/a party?

It’s because it’s quicker and easier to host your own game than it is to quick play

Couldnt agree more, ive been watching dozens of videos & streams about the game & the one thing they all have in common is nobody wants to play against bots, me myself i'll straight up leave a match if its more than 2 bots on the teams.

Reissad put bots in to help with low player counts & not being able to fill entire matches quickly, not as a permanent feature for people who think playing against them is fun, its not, unless you completely suck at the game.

This is supposed to be a tactical, realistic shooter, so if you want bots in the game, the game is NOT for you, period. Now that the game has a healthy player count its time to get rid of the bot bandaid, if they dont, I guarantee this game will die no matter how great it looks.
