worth playing solo?

[BooQueefius]

hey just looking for a fun left for dead ish game to play solo is it worth it for me to pla ythrough single player or with randoms?

[Sharrayzen]

Randoms. AIs are a bit wonky at times and will int.

[MassivePsychosis]

I'm having fun. It seems a bit easy even on hard for me, though I'm only on the first episode.

I have over 2500 hours in L4D2 coop and solo. This game is amazing solo. TBH, I like it better than B4B.

Preferring solo for now with bots so i can explore the maps and take my time.

Just beware of the new mechanic Rats when you're in solo mode. Make sure you are well prepared and best in 3rd person mode.

[Shakoris]

Depends. Higher levels you tend to have your team use their teamwork skills if they are not bots. Properly (assuming bots even use them)

Ima solo player but this game is so fun to play with friends..... I'm just playing solo and if I get bored, I ll play with randoms.....

Yep, had some games ruined by high level dudes that go loud all times, wander off for no reason, and no brain to solve simple puzzle, went offline and mission success.
It pains me even more when had some low level randoms that plays like some 800+ pros...

Solo is more predictable. Yesterday I had a random treat our game like a speed run. My first time on that mission and we was always running ahead.

AI extremely retarded, they could implement some order commands. They just follow you around and wont use turrets for example.

The Ai really isn't very good. They can't use med-packs but at least they heal over time.

Defending with them is easy as long as you have the zombies approach to only one point of interest but the mission "Setting Sun" (I think that is its name), has you defend two gates and it also spawns the biggest hoard in the game from my experience and the bots just can't handle that one. Having one real person in there actually maning a turrert was a life changer and made the mission really fun. Plus we actually got to use all the defensive materials as we actually had the time to gather them.

Honestly, as bad as random players can get, it's still a fun experience to go into random matchmaking imo.

And I was someone who never did that much before. I earned the first ~20 levels solo.

I'll still stand by my statement that a few more bot commands will make this game a lot more fun to play. If you could give them loadouts like PAYDAY 2 does it, or make them even carry objective items or tell them to man a turret, it would honestly be a complete experience. I don't know how big the developer focus is on the game but I would make that a priority, along making a "not canonically accurate mode", where you can just use every character on every mission.

I hit a wall on Jerusalem level 3 on normal diff with bots, before that was all easy, but that level, ugh. Played with some randoms and got it on first try, the fella must be REALLY bad to perform worse than a bot, so far the randoms i got were pretty decent, and all of them low level like me (10-20 range), so no experts that played on other platforms.

[APN34Z]

Yes

[FuscusNight]

Bot AI is really bad, even on normal some missions can suck playing with them.
Even bad team mates can do a better job than the bots often. Usually in something like Left 4 Dead you can play solo even on Advanced difficulty alone with bots but here due to how poorly done the friendly AI is, it's better to try your luck with randoms usually.

Hell even that janky Aliens Fireteam game that i played a fair bit recently has somewhat more competent friendly bots I'd say, at least they can heal them selves plus some folks made mods to improve them, not sure if War Z has had any modders creating better AI friendly bots though.
