Aimbot AI makes me ragequit
I played this game for a while without this issue. Maybe once per game I would happen upon a bot with a sniper rifle that instantly kills me when I turn a corner.

However, the past two/three days for some reason every single time I die it is due to some garbage with the AI instantly turning from up to 90 degrees to kill me with one shot, before I have any time to react. Now I already know my aim isn't very good, I was a console gamer for a long time and only just a few years ago did I start playing on pc (years seems like a long time but most of that was spent playing non-shooter games, and I don't play games as much as I used to). I'm not saying that the bot's reaction speed is too quick because it kills me before I can shoot it, I am saying that the bot kills me before I have even fully processed the fact that there is an enemy 2 feet in front of me.

Just a few hours ago I played and I clearly saw the enemy walk around a corner w/his big ass sniper rifle. He shot and killed me before his gun was even aimed in my direction. This has been happening to me recently almost EVERY. TIME. Then I have to wait until the next round to spawn again which doesn't seem bad until you instantly die again before you even have a chance to do anything.

It wasn't always like this for me so it sucks more because I've experience the game without this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ so I know what I am missing out on >:(

Is this ever going to be fixed or changed?

The ai is not very complex so to increase difficulty it just lowers time to accurately acquire target. Pve was not a very large focus from what I can tell. New life was breathed into it with the release of hardcore. Sadly no new behaviors and because the bots operate inside of the same framework the player does it has limited options as to appear more convincing while giving challenge. Why give them laZer sights when we know they don’t even have to aim? It only gives away a bots location to the player. Dumb thought on content. I hear from people around the water cooler they don’t like playing as insurgents thus they miss out on the opposing teams layout. The maps are large and play much different from the layout of each side. Just mirror the maps so it doesn’t look like laundry day when the map starts. Or modders could do it. . . Why don’t community maps work on Linux?! *cries in server admin*

One of the reasons I regularly play this game is because of the totally unfair and unpredictable bots. I think that makes every match unpredictable af. Thats just me tho.

The worst part is when bots see you through a wall/solid surface but they know their weapon can penetrate it. so you think you are safe doin dem an ambush and *BAM* fking headshot through the wall/dirt hill/rock in front of you.
Never saw the bot, never heard it, never knew it was there just game over you ded.

It's REALLY not fun at all. Also the <200 ms response times is such BS. Even pro gamers struggle to reliably do 100-150ms response times but the bot.. naa let's set it to 1 ms.. why TF not. such fun challenge. Everyone likes to see an enemy come around the corner, click mouse button but then be dead already.

We win 30-40% of the time. DO NOT make it easier.

This. Take it as a challenge. Won triple hardcore coop a couple of times today, far from impossible.

Its not the GENERAL difficulty. THAT IS NOT IN NEED OF ANY CHANGES.

The problem is the INCONSEQUENCE OF AI SCRIPT MECHANICS.

Some matches, you pass the level very easy with hundret+ kills and some deads, sometimes youre aimbotted in 0,001s over and over again, youre destroyed by aimbot, wallhack and lazer nade ai + the ai terminator reaction time.

Just fix the INCONSEQUENCE TO STOP and everything is fine! Its very very important to understand the frustrating mechanics correctly so the fix hits the right spot. You (devs) know your ai scripts best, do something, it sucks. Many many player are playing Co-op only, so no excuses as always in this area.
