Offline mode?

[Zen]

Just wondering if this game has to, and can only be played with others or can it be played offline against bots?

I like to get this game but if it means having to wait for a lobby to fill, puts me off getting this.

it can be "played against bots", just gotta set it up to do it.

Oh good good. So I could play as the Predator against bots if I set up the lobby?

Yes you can play against NPC soldiers and an AI fire team. However the AI fire team are only programmed to literally run to the predators location and just run around aimlessly where you are. If I play I use the modified options and either disable the AI fire team and just hunt down the NPC soldiers to make it more enjoyable. Also you can adjust the speed of the AI fire team so it takes longer for them to get to you which gives you more time to stealth kill NPC's. It's a shame the Devs have given up on this game because the concept of this game is great and could really be worked on to make it great. For example adding a single player mode with an AI Predator would be awesome as I'm not really one for online gaming. Hope that helps

That helps a lot, thank you. I honestly as a developer, would have offline single player modes but I get it, its hard to monetise down the line.

Just a few more details about offline playing. The bots ALWAYS know where are you, even if you cloaked, but until you not uncloak they not attack you. Also, they insanely strong on default settings, gladly you can adjust almost everything to make a custome match.

it literally takes 30 seconds to find a match (as Fireteam)

It's a fake, useless mode. Bots have no real AI. It's a real mockery of the developers.

I think the poor A.I on the Fireteam, when solo playing as a Predator is the real let down for this game. Fingers cross the Devs do something in the future to make the single player game more challenging.
