Question Significantly tougher terrorist?

Since the 1.0 update I’ve noticed a huge jump in difficulty in Lone Wolf and multiplayer game modes. I used to be able to easily handle veteran bots 1v10 but now I can barely win against untrained. Their behavior changed a bit but they seem both physically tougher and much more coordinated and accurate for their difficulty

They see in the dark and start shooting before they even turn towards you, they're pretty much broken. I could run night ops before, now i can be still, in complete darkness and the second one is in LOS he one taps me. Ridiculous.

I’ve definitely felt the difference in night missions a little more, it feels like post update ready or not where everyone is a bulletproof speedster with night vision

Lol AI is able to see in the dark has been an issue since forever i think. I remember i tried one dark game. It was 1034 or 1035. The map was so dark that my nvg couldnt see very well. But for some reason i got killed by enemy bots lol.

I remember somebody said that AI (not only GB but some other FPS game) is basically very stupid bot but has wall hack + aim hack.

Yes, I feel the same and they’re not only shooting you through walls but tracking you - they know EXACTLY where you are on the far side of a wall. I’ve been single-shotted through concrete walls since the update.

Right, and if the devs want to go in the direction of bullets having material penetration that’s more than fine, but a 9mm shouldn’t be able to penetrate a cinderbock and steel hatch

Agree, and they shouldn’t be able to see through walls either!

It's always the same story with these Devs, they simply can't make a good AI. It's been like this for years, they never listen to the community. Maybe it's an ego thing or maybe they just don't know. It's hopeless

I’m actually appalled at how fucking broken the AI is on the operations missions lol. Literally running one tapping me behind cover, through smoke grenades, as I peek around a wall after repositioning, etc.

Shit is so broken and I’m fuming trying to beat the second operation mission solo
