impossible to play alone

[Alexander Rahl]

even on casual and a 440 combat rating, the final mission of the 2nd campaign is just too much.
a dead team shooter with a fake single player option. would be different if you could customize the AI teammates.

You're absolutely correct. Wast of time and it had sooooo much potential.... kinda like Space marine 2 which is tanking HARD...

Thinking of buying the game on sale, but knowing that the game is dead. Is it possible to beat the hardest content solo with the standard bots or modded bots ?

If you're after the 100% steam achievs, the regular bots can do the trick. You're not exactly required to beat the hardest content to get all the achievs, just the base campaign on Insane, which again the regular bots can handle just fine

Come on. Insane with two bots is too hard for the average player. But find teammates on Insane still possible. Sometimes.

Not saying it's easy but it's doable and the bots are better than most players on Insane...

There are cards that make it easier. Especially if he isn't looking for the DLC ending.

Generalyl speaking on casual you can do AI bots, but for normal you probably need a 700+ rating and above that you need to be fairly good.

You can litteraly afk in Casual and let the bots kill everything.

Of my almost 150 hours, I spent around 120 in single player and completed almost everything. (Currently 5 achievements are missing - 2x Insane, 1x Hardcore, 40/100 team healings and not taking team fire)
Of the remaining time, 10 hours are easily spent on the MP waiting list for higher difficulties. 2-3% of the MP time consists of completed missions and the rest were quitter missions.
All in all, I mostly stick with single player.

The game destroys its own MP anyway.
Various difficulty modes for various missions. With or without crossplay. With or without challenge cards. And all of that in a niche.
It was clear that the MP would be a flop due to a massive lack of players - that's also why it started as a Gamepass title.

It couldn't be more divided - and even with titles from Epic and Microsoft (Horde in Gears of War, Firefight in Halo) there were always problems with the Horde mode and its 3-4 difficulty modes - precisely because this already caused too much fragmentation in a mp mode. As a rule, you always had to complete wave 50 alone or with a lucky catch from the randoms that was just like you. Everyone else dropped out at 7-19. After years, Gears introduced bots as a solution in the last part (reasonable).

In Fireteam Elite they don't just limit themselves to one mode, but have designed the entire MP section for fragmentation, plus bots.
But they would also need a invite option, a re-join option and much more.

I might actually have to get the PC version of the game just so I can have this mod. I only play single player and it would be nice to have some actual marines instead of synthetics as my teammates all the time.

I am doing missions on Intense and I have last mission of the last campaign to finish, so it is indeed possible to play alone above Casual.

My suggestion would be to run Demolition with Rocket Launcher (M12 RPG Launcher, if you don't have that then the shop sells M12A1 Rocket Launcher, which is very similar). It kills multiple Pathogens on a single hit and makes destroying the Cores a very easy task.

Besides that you can stock up on turrets until you reach the final fight and deploy them there. It will take a bunch of the heat off you, making it easier to complete the mission.

Insane was possible for me on my own with the demolisher. 3 Insane missions left. With sensory overload and the right skills, you have a shot almost every second. (Roughly speaking... sometimes more, sometimes less) The only problem is with the x-3 missions. At least for now ... i have to search for the best positions first.


Yesterday I spent over 6 hours trying to do 3(?)-3 with randoms. Terrible - I made more progress there on my own of 2 lame bots. To be more precise, I was only missing one core. And the randoms were just quitting, afk at beginning or dying, even though my class had already killed most of the enemies without doing any friendly fire. One could say, that as soon as something came from behind, everyone died. Makes me wonder... what did these people even do until they reached level 100? They don't know the spawn points etc...There are only a few combinations of them. I'm not even 60 and know them. And it's not as if the other classes are completely useless there. Especially since you're on a team.
