Re: IA vs. IA

Am I the only one who think many of the 'human players' actually are AI Soldiers?

They do not have the [AI] signature in their name, but many player names appear 'machine coded'.  And when I observe many of them in the game, they are stuck up against silly things on the map and not getting away from there. 

Likewise, try and spawn in as the Casper Specialist and then fly your drone across overhead the enemy soldiers.  And now you will observe a very substantial part of them stops up and then silly just shoots up into the air towards your drone.  For normal human players the drone is near invisible, and its hardly anyone at all of human players that cares to even try and shoot it out of the air when swirling it around.

Hence I suspect that EA/DICE have actually started to flood the servers now with AI soldiers that actually have been given somewhat 'normal' human player names.  They have for sure not the [AI] insignia after their names on the scoreboard, when checking them there.

And to take it one step further:

Is this something EA/DICE have put into motion, so when we now are expecting to get our server browser in next major update, that then the total player count still looks 'reasonable'???  Because when that happens, there is nowhere left to hide about how many/how few players that are truly left as active in this game...

    @CyberDyme Nope, same * it's always been: AFK players because the game doesn't kick them out of matches, and when the round ends it automatically queues them up into another round.

    DICE can barely get the AI functioning to begin with, I think hiding them as players is a bit beyond their current capabilities. And given how hard it still can be to find matches, I'm even more skeptical.

    @CyberDyme there is a streamer who has a pretty good video on Renewal that really looks like bots that he is killing without [AI] in their name. He believed that DICE was masking the player count with them.

    For me, I am not even paying attention to that during the game to give my opinion.

    With the current state of the game, possible. However, like edgecrusher said, with how bad the game has been, would DICE even waste time doing that? Again, unlikely but possible.
