This is exactly what I feel each time a medic ignores my body (when it is safe). Meanwhile the bot will try to save me if it is not engaging enemies.
Or how much the players ignore the drone.
- ATFGunr2 years agoLegend@UP_HawxxeyeKeep in mind how bad the balance is in these 2042 servers, was in a match the other day the defenders had 10 real players (including me), the attackers had 20, and the rest of the 64p server was bots. It started that way, and didn’t change for what ended up as the fastest round of Breakthrough I’ve had the misfortune to get railed on.
I get that the game is desperately short of players. We need bots to be present just to give us targets. Because Dice has done such a poor job of balancing, I can see why the OP is against bots. If that server was 15 on 15 and the rest bots, I think we’d have held our own in that match. Where I think the OP loses this path is if players leave and get replaced with bots, and it’s out of balance at that stage, that’s still on Dice. If that many people are leaving, it’s because the issue must be it’s a roll (people rarely quit a winning game) and that’s a balance issue. I’d be happy to have it wrap up if we’re down by 10, just get it over and start a new map.- UP_Hawxxeye2 years agoLegend

This would have been much better with the third party auto admins of BF3/BF4 keeping the teams even.There also seems to have been some issue since the 6.0 update that made larger bot teams to exist.
I cannot yet decide if I like of dislike that. I will still hold the flesh and blood humans responsible for throwing the game. To quote some brain eating monster from some monster series "You do not need that brain if you are not going to use it!"

Or how much the players ignore the drone.The bots are useless, though.
Good human medics, those who are playing the game as an multiplayer instead of single player, will actually try to revive you even if the spot's a bit sketchy. Where as the AI medics will just stand on the open trying to shoot that one enemy sitting behind cover ~20 meters away instead of going prone and reviving you. Because the "spot is not safe for reviving".
Maybe I've been extra blessed with team mates who have any common sense, but I swear I've ended up dying more often because of the stupid AI medics not reviving, than the actual human medics..
Also yeah, they do shoot the drones but for the past few matches I've been which were 20v20 on the Rush XL, so the rest were bots, all the AI soldiers were Engineers and they tried to take the drones out with M5's.... I was playing Valparaiso and the AI just gathered into groups of five and fired rockets into the sky trying to hit the drones.
So very helpful don't you think..
PS. If you still are wondering how anyone could end up into a bot match outside of Portal: Matchmaking has had difficulties for a long time. Just google it up, you'll find plenty of people complaining about it since last year. I've suffered from it since season 4, so a relatively short time. Once in about every three days I can't find full lobbies at all. Most I ever find (with playing over three hours) have maybe 45 people in them on 64 mode. Then the other days I have no issues connecting with people, while nothing has changed. My connection has been the same all the time, I have had cross-play enabled all the time, NAT-type has not changed on it's own. I haven't managed to find any reasonable explanation for it. Trying to google it all I get is "you have to turn cross-play on" but it is on constantly. So I have no clue. Also because of this new players have a hard time connecting into the on-going matches on Breakthrough and Rush, so if the match goes on long enough on certain days you always end up playing against some bots even if the match was full when you started.
