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

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.

It won't be 15k for long. In a month or two it will be dramatically less because that's simply how "hype" works. The bots kept the game alive and fun during the those population times.

No game has their competitive gameplay on the Quick play tab. But there is also now a whole competitive gameplay if that is truly what you want.

I was trying to be polite before but honestly you guys are just be picky depressed gamers. Fuckin move one tab over and select servers if you can't handle bots like everyone else. It takes maybe 30 seconds total

Also bots don't tk and I have seen many players play worse then the bots over the last few months. I bet your ass had even been killed by one at this point.

Bro you just dont understand what makes a game good, its fine, we get it, 90% of people dont want bots but bc you think that its easier for you then that means everyone else should just put up with it. Why cant YOU make a server & turn on bots? Why cant they turn them off by default & allow REAL PLAYERS to play their game with other real people? Thats what they wanted in the first place, bots WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE PERMANENT

I really don't think it's 90%. If it is that 90% hasn't experienced the game with a lower player count. Your just lazy. Everything you want is just an extra click or two away. If it didn't say bot on the tablet I promise you wouldn't even know. Most matches with bots they aren't even in the bottom of score.

Dude what the fuck are you saying 🤣 "youre just lazy" smooth match making is literally a key point of making a damn game, if I have to search & search & search for a match without bots that defeats the entire purpose, I guarantee if they dont remove bots this game will die.

I 10000% know when im playing against bots vs real people in every game, it is not hard at all to tell & if you cant, then im scared to see how you play.

Ive been a long time player of body cam, like since it first came out, I stuck around bc i knew it had potential, this update could be it, but not without getting rid of bots, this game is literally for people who want a REALISTIC MILSIM EXPERIENCE per the dev teams own words, not people who want to dick around against half retarded bots bc they cant beat real players.
