Alright i just want to get this out there, but why does it seem like there are so many bot players in this game, like there's bad and then there's bot like. Just seems to me that there are alot of bot like players, at least on EU anyway.
what is bot player meant ?
He means really bad players who basically just rush in and feed.

He's most likely talking about the solo clowns who run off solo, die, then instantly rage quit.
THe original definition of bot, meant someone with unhuman aim. aka cheaters using aim_bot.
Calling bad players "bots" is what cheaters want. Don't fall for that trap. Better to just call them noobs. And yes the game is full of them because like above poster said, these are people who don't normally play fps games on the pc but are attracted to the hype.

People have been referring to bad players as "bots' for years now.
You know, like the AI bots you play against in games like CS that are terrible? That's where the term comes from.
And yes OP you are definitely on to something. The skill level in this game is pretty absurdly low at the moment and it is for the aforementioned reasons. The combination of f2p and the hype has attracted a myriad of players. MANY of which are just absolutely clueless.
i'm sure things will get better when other titles come out. I'm sure the BF br has siphoned some off.
Fortnite players coming over.
Who are too used to being able to insta build cover.
I suggest.

I've only heard it now. Cheaters were first called bots in quake 1. then they were called hackers later on in counterstrike to make cheating more cool.
In quake 1 the bots like frogbot were actually not terrible. They were good to practice against. in counterstrike noobs were called llamas or noobs as far as I remember. I really think this is an overwatch generation term. or cs:go maybe. Not the cs I remember . I truly believe its just another way cheaters avoid being called that derogatory term that describes what they truly are. Not human.
It is getting very bad, a lot of my games are lasting less than 2 minutes and I end up leaving because I am the only one standing up versus a 3 man squad.
Every time I land I find equipment but no guns, dropping into an area with another squad will pretty much guarantee that I will die unarmed.
Then on top of that most opposing players are 100% accurate with all guns at all ranges, i am constantly dying from 2-4 hits or bursts.
There needs to be a solo mode for them so that the coop - which is the only one I will play - ends up with a smaller but more cooperative playerbase.
At the moment the game is about the fun of randomness.
If there is a ranked play in the future then problem will be lightened maybe ?
