Teammate Ai Kinda sucks

[WolfieRex8ME]

In my opinion, the ai in this game is really unhelpful. I love everything else about this game, but my teammates. I feel like this is most evident in pyre blaster section. I don't have any friends to play with so I'm stuck with them.

[BEEP!]

It's crazy how modern game's somehow have worse AI bots than game's in the early 2000s you figure they would get better as time goes on not worse.

It's pretty clear the focus was on having 2 other people to play with, because the AI is indeed very hit-or-miss. However, when the AI wigs out, it can be a death sentence.

That might be a big of rose tinted goggles, because a lot of friendly AI in earlier games were programmed to just follow simple orders and then shoot / attack with a certain degree of accuracy or set damage.

In a game like SM2, the AI is probably not easy to program because the AI has to figure out priorities as a ton of different scenarios will change every couple of seconds. Does it hold it's special attack for potential future problems, or use it now when things look kind of tough? Does it try to head off the elites rushing you, or does it try to think the swarm of minor enemies? Does it rez you because you just went down, or does it back up your friend who is getting swarmed because if they go down, the run ends?

Having trouble when the Terranids attack the chains on the lift part of the mission if any battle brothers want to assist me on that objective. I'm on the hardest difficulty and it seems to have been designed on a competent 3 man to watch their sectors.

My AI team members keep whispering in my ear as i die "Hydra dominatus", instead of helping me back up.

I've gone back and played timesplitters a game from 2000 and the AI there puts the AI here to shame hell even Halo 1 the original has smarter AIs.
Even Conker's Bad Fur Day 2005 the multiplayer bot teammates outshine this game in every way to a shocking degree.
I can go back and play tons of old game's from the early 2000s and the Ai bots actually were smart enough to follow work wit you do objects and fight while here your lucky you Bot decides to use it's gun for things 20feet away.
And it's not rose tinted glasses because I've been playing these old game's these past years because modern game's are a hit or miss the majority of my gameing is old game's and emulation of old game's.

The only thing the bots are good at in this game is reviving you and using melee for things that are in there face that's it.

Next mission is even worse because the AI doesn't even know how to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ defend, is a multitasking nightmare with those ranged Tyranids
