AI bots in BF 2042 Singleplayer.
(Writing with google translator)
Hello, i am so Sorry, but I didn’t understand how to properly format my problem in bug reports. The administration or moderators who will read this - you know better how to deal with this topic.
I want to inform you about the following NOT critical, but errors related to AI behavior.
When patch 3.2.0 appeared, I found the following "problems" when playing single player version of this game:
1. - The developers have added the possibility of greater interaction of AI with various stairs and obstacles. This is a very cool thing, I began to see more often how bots can climb some kind of ladder or height in order to fight more effectively. BUT, I began to notice how AI analyzes the whole situation around itself for a very long time. And often instead of making a simple and quick decision, such as "finish off a wounded player who is cornered." AI begins to analyze the situation for a long time and tries to find a new, more advantageous position for itself. (This applies mainly to enclosed spaces.)
2. - In open spaces (Borderline map) AI instead of engaging in confident defense and engaging in counterattacks, which should force the player to retreat. Intensively begins to look for favorable positions for himself. On the last patch in early December. It was on this map that I saw how strong the AI was. He held the defense so tightly that I almost couldn't beat him. Even when I was already starting to play at full strength, the AI still held the defense tightly. AND NOW, with a quick successful initial attack, the AI is lost and can't do anything.
3. - How would you explain it correctly? The AI became VERY much avoiding unnecessary losses. Previously, he could, at the cost of even his own life, start attacking the player in order to force him to retreat. NOW the AI is trying to find cover and stay there. In the meantime, my team and I are successfully advancing. The enemy AI is completely deprived of the opportunity to counterattack and deprive me of the captured positions.
❤️ Dear developers and especially those people who work on AI. Your AI work is VERY hard and gets the least attention. I want to say a big THANK YOU for what you do. For how well and successfully you work on AI. Despite the errors described above, this is a very big step forward. In the last patch, I also noticed a HUGE number of changes to the AI that no one bothered to describe. And they are very cool. Sincerely, I wish you success in your work and I hope you continue to give unforgettable moments in this.
