why does this game attract CoD players despite being a tactical shooter?

[Quiet]

teamwork only happens 10% of the time, maybe less. everybody treats the game like CoD and runs off on their own to get into a firefight, thinking that they're John Wick and that they can easily solo every suspect on the map by themselves. maps that are easy to complete become nightmares because for some reason everybody on this game is allergic to sticking together. people are either too passive or too trigger happy, there is no tactical middle ground. a great game ruined by its 5 IQ playerbase

Maybe because the player base is just a reflection of the human population?
And we are overwhelmingly idiots as a species.

This game doesn't attract CoD players. It is a CoD game who force you to play like in CoD because of the broken AI. If you don't do that, you die.

People adapt to the game they play.

Yeah they flock over and ruin tactical shooters a lot. They just ride the hype train. They like being able to say "I played that." But they don't really understand tactical shooters and move to the next hyped up game after a short period of time. We just gotta wait for the game to get a little bit older.

I think it's rather comical watching people play it like COD though. "HE SHOT ME THROUGH A WALL?!" "HOW DID HE SEE ME?!" "WAIT<WHAT?!" twitch is fun for stuff like that =P.

nah thats bs

playing carefully works totally fine if you do it right

There is multiple evidence on internet about how the AI behave. And multiple topics complaining about this stating than the game is more closer to CoD than from Swat 4.

It's not the playerbase who is wrong, it's the game itself.

This is kind of like saying why do arcade shooters like cod attract people that like to camp and play tactically. Have you heard of people having different styles in how they like to play games or do things? This game can be played rushed if you're good at it but it can also be played slow and tactically. No matter what play-style you like to play there's going to be noobs with both play-styles. if you join a random game than don't expect everyone to play the way that you want them to. There's forums and discord that exist where you can find people that like to play the same way that you do.

Works great.

Mainly because the AI doesn't respect playing tactically. at least in single player, multiplayer I feel it can be better to play tactically because, unlike the AI, players can avoid standing halfway in the doorway when doing breaches.

My favorite is when they charge into a room with multiple doors and floors all by themselves then complain. There's no thinking or planning. Just kicking doors open.

Works great.

And don't forget that we can draw on the maps. You can outline a general path for your friends and stick to a plan.

The only thing that will be charged is their parents credit card that was used to buy this game. ESRB ratings are guidelines not the law. It is not illegal for someone under 17 to play an M rated game.
