PGI / Paul - have clearly said AI/Bots will never happen (as recently as the last 2 months).

So this is simply a pointless discussion to even entertain.

When incursion came in, my first thought was; oh this is a bit of a mess.... Nonono, my first thought was actually, wow, destructible terrain, turrets, destroyable bases, when they start adding these to all the maps and modes as new terrain and obstacles...

The thought of it had me going for a while....

Unfortunately someone would rather waste resources putting work into bases where almost no action happens, destructible walls that stop almost nothing and rarely need to be destroyed, and worst of all, TANK traps out the front entrance of each base that only serve to annoy the MECHs walking out of the base for combat.

The wasted potential there is immense... I love a lot of the work, but the execution of it leaves a lot to be desired. Wasted resources is one of the biggest problems this game has.

what part in my post was i indicating that players are too hard to fight for me? i simply stated it would be nice to have bots to help with wait times and to keep tiers seperate as well as help out faction play which is known to have the longest wait times. I only use the academy to test out loadouts/mechs and fiddle around.

Think about this, if you were off fighting bots instead of queuing for a match, that would actually increase wait times, because you wouldn't be queuing...

They had a hard enough time getting the VIP to work right, and even then nobody likes that game mode. PGI have already stated they can't do AI with MWO. Either that, or they wouldn't, and they sure as hell aren't about to try to figure out how to do that with this game engine so close to MW5's release.

i honestly dont buy the 'cant' excuse. pgi simply does not want to put effort into the game because that costs money. and if they spend all the money on game dev then how are they going to buy beer?

Even if they created bots that were equivalent to easy mode AI from a early to mid 2000s pc game most of the player base will whine that it is to good.

Yes I am saying post 2010 AIs are quite terrible at being a challenge, while also saying most of the player base can not put a fight.

game ai is lostech. its not what it used to be dispite a couple orders of magnitude more performance from our computers.
