Titanfall - Why The Bots Are Awesome

From Vault of the Gameverse:

"That, and I was real tired of killing bots. I just didn't care. Bots here, bots there, bots everywhere. And they're so easy to kill. In the meantime, I was trying to play a multiplayer game...

Then… I finally tried something Respawn had been tweeting about for a day or two. “How many Spectres have you hacked?”, they would ask. Upon my first “hacking” of a Spectre (which was unfortunately in the last hour or two of the Beta) was when I completely fell in love and thought, “Please give me more bots!!!” Seriously."

[Revolt13]

Bots didn't bother be none,
I understood their purpose.
No issue for me.

[Germaximus]

Understanding the purpose of the bots is not the same thing as being disappointed there aren't more players.

I'm much more okay with the bots and smaller player count after having played quite a lot of the Beta. It's a great game and I can't wait for the full version.

I wasn't aware that the specters will follow you around. They don't do much damage against pilots, but they are effective against titans. If i would have realized I could lead a gang of them, I would have tried hacking a few.

Overall, I didn't play a single game where bot kills decided the outcome, so their inclusion in the game doesn't bother me at all. I think they add a nice touch... like the NPC cannon fodder that fights along side you in a SP game.

Give me a break!The silliness of some journalist writters is just overwhelming!

Wait a freaking minute here , those were bots I was killing?.....DAMNIT ! I thought I was a beast at that game....

[Insomnia_84]

And THAT is why to some people it is fun. This is a casual game at its best, no skills required. Auto-lock multiple headshot pistol? Yeahh! Easy one kick kills? Invisible guy running killing dumb AI bots with said kick and pistol? No destructions, no bullet damage to walls, 6vs6, no single player and still $60, sub-par graphics. And then I read an article with the tittle "next gen starts with Titanfall".

The money going into Titanfall's marketing campaign is BIG. Big enough to make someone say "next gen starts with Titanfall" if you know what I mean.

Lol at the excuses for ai that is so stupid it's pointless. Titanfall + smart pistol + grunts= the Nubiest online game I've ever played. It's too bad the game had such potential until they added the ai bots that just prove ms cloud is a joke. If this game was on ps4 I'd still be saying the same thing. No game can be considered competitive with ai bots that huddle in groups crouching looking at the ground and can't hit you with a bullet if you standed still. Titanfall game ends....check scoreboard.....30 grunt kills......6 pilot kills........wtf.

Take away the ai bots and smart pistol add 8 vs 8 or 10 vs 10 with little bigger maps and add a perk system where you actually have to earn a Titan with skill.

Well, I guess have fun playing knack till 2016.

[IRapeLolis]

No need to,The best console version of Titanfall 2 will be on PS4 with exclusive content in 2015. Hope X1 owners enjoy Ryse and inferior versions of everything for this entire Gen. Have fun with that I guess.

[I_AM_ CANADIAN_1989]

Rather play battlefield 4, killzone shadowfall , infamous second son, watchdogs theif and guess what all those games will be the best versions so enjoy you're 720p for 7 years and let's be honest Rythe the best version of Titan fall is pc. Which is the beta I played .

wish this game was a ps4 exclusive because unlike apologetic xbots as a majority Sony gamers wouldn't accept ai bots as a substitute for 6vs6. Respawns twitter would be lit up right now with disapproval . I could play this game on my 7000 dollar pc if I wanted, but I refuse to support ai bots in supposedly competitive multiplayer especially stupid useless ones.

[TheSaint]

Yeah, most X1 people don't know a lot about games which is why they bought an X1.

That is all you think is on PS4 isn't it, poor deluded MS fanboy.

[k3rn3ll]

So u don't consider DOTA competitive? I see. How many pilot of kills did u have during the beta is what I want to know

[MachineGunnTalk]

you should be ashamed

[N0gg1nsh0tz]

Title should be: Titanfall: Why the bots are awful.

[MachineGunnTalk]

bots are cool because this isn't call of duty

[NeloAnjelo]

Bots are way too easy to kill... People think they are awesome when it's bots being killed to bring down their Titan.

[BQ32]

If you complain about the bots then probably you either have not played the demo extensively or your not vary good. The bots add a ton of depth to the gameplay and if you want to go around farming bots because they are fodder then you will quickly realize that you are fodder for other human players playing much more strategically.

[Germaximus]

That is very true. The problem I had before I played was just the fact that I play multiplayer to play against other people, not bots. And after I was playing for around six or seven hours I got sick of killing bots because I still wasn't used to how to look out for players. It's just that bots are everywhere. It ended up working out by the time I was done with the Beta and I cannot wait for the full game.

You are right about the bots. I had trouble differentiating between bots and players for awhile which ruined the experience. But once I got used to what to look for it became a real actual multiplayer experience again. There's an actual strategy that can be used with the bots. It's awesome stuff. I still would like more players in it but it does work perfectly in that 6v6.

[No1up]

I'm sorry. I hope this game comes to ps4 as much as the next guy, unfortunately I don't see a titanfall 2 coming in 2015 or maybe late 2015. By that time you should be able to pick up a ps4 on CL or eBay for 200-250. :)

[parentsbasement]

oh well , I guess every now and then they have to make a "noob friendly game" as not everybody has time to play games for a living , you know , the ones that are "going pro" and need "competition"......m aybe they should just put an age limit on this one "12 and under"? (i'll just turn my mike off and use my hardcore skills to make it LOOK like im only 12.....i'll show these kiddies what for)
