No Co-op, but will there be bots?

[opiumskittles]

Yeah, I read all the people asking "Why would you play with bots," but avoiding all that, will bots be available for multiplayer servers at release?

Sometimes there's nothing like getting 16 people to slaughter a side of bots.

=o

=o

i wish there was coop i would love a bot smash with my friends

 

[cucamonster]

like Ramm himself told me:

The co-op will be added later like a patch or something, for free.

i was terryfied myself to XD.

 

[opiumskittles]

Yes, there will be no co-op in the single player campaign. Does that mean that there won't be bots to fill up multiplayer servers as well?

 

[Killyouall]

There is no coop?! When did this come out? Why?I I was really excited about this feature.

"And coming after release:

Co-op: Players can connect with their friends and battle AI in multiple game types including the Stalingrad Campaign, Skirmish Mode, and more...."

[mchaza]

it would be awesome to have multiplayer bots for when waiting for people to join a public server and for private as well

 

[WiFiDi]

there will be but released after launch in a free patch.

There is bots in multiplayer, and they are actually pretty good. And yeah it's pretty fun to load up a server with human players on one team and AI on the other in Firefight and battle it out with the AI.

I watched a few videos the other day actually of the bots with team based objectives it was a delight to see the bots take control of the situation......


Guys i will tell you right now the bots may even be able to backup players when your pinned.


One thing i loved to see in one of the videos was a bot man an HMG and blow the enemy away im not sure which video it was but it was hella great.

Cheers for that BTW RaMM.

It was a video showing the German campaign i think but it was taken down.

I know of the 3 Videos Russian / German Campaigns however i saw another video but its gone now i can only hope what i saw is in the final edition the bots where better then players IMO if you go into a MP game you get lots of campers and lemmings these bots will tear you a new hole camping they really do kick yur bottom ^_^.

ok so is there not a possibility to play by yourself, but with bots on your team and bots on the other team? or is that just the same as choosing a mission from the singleplayer campaign?

Yes you can but it's not the same.

But in this case, play the single player.

I know in RO1 there was a "Practice" option where you could load up any multiplayer map and fill it with a configurable number of bots (in addition to whatever mutators you desired), not unlike singleplayer in the Unreal Tournament series.

I'm not sure whether there will be something similar in RO2, though.

Devs--any comments?

 

[Yoshiro]

Yes, practice mode is available.

 

[Stephen]

It has to be better than RO1's, though. The bots were truly dire, and they just drove tanks in circles (assuming they even moved them in the first place).

 

[[TW]Ramm-Jaeger]

Yes, practice mode is available.

Erm no, practice mode is not available...
