How is multiplayer?

[-Armageddon-]

So I've tried singleplayer at a friends house and it was fun i did the first 3 missions but the bots are terrible! I don't think ive noticed at least once they use their melee weapons , the assault cannon terminator bot was standing in melee range overwhelmed by xenos he did not use his power fist even once :( Is there a command i can give to make them more effective? They just stand in one place shooting getting hit by rockets and all kinds of stuff.

So how is the multiplayer, is it fun are the missions fun compared to similar games such as left 4 dead?

I wana buy the game but i am afraid i might get bored really fast if the objectives are boring and the classes

Co-op can be fun (for a while), but the AI system is nowhere near L4D's level of diversity, rhythm and adaptability.
AI teammates are just dumb, don't expect much and go for melee buddies. Expect babysitting the Apothecary (medic) all along.
I find progression somewhat dull with weird choices (cosmetics using the same points as gameplay bonuses) and grindy.
Shooting and melee are not the best but it can definitely be fun with friend.
You'd better go check other opinions on the game to have a better idea of the pros and cons.

I had the same feelings like you when I tried SP a year ago in vanilla. But in MP I play meanwhile for 200 hours and with the new progression system I will go on. Just do not get dissapointed when playing with terrible teammates. There will be others and with a good team this game is so rewarding.

Why don't you try the multiplayer 'at your friends house'?
"AT MY FRIEND'S HOUSE" - - "TRIED THE SINGLEPLAYER" - - "FRIEND'S HOUSE" - - *CALCULATION IN PROGRESS*
Is your friend Captian Jack Sparrow?

[AngryMarine]

always give your AI move command dont let them follow you cause than they prio it over everything else ..

Because i didn't wana suck at a game that i play the 1st time, i never ever play multiplayer before i finish tutorials or singleplayer

So on topic, i should get yhe game and finish the campaing with people instead of bots? But is it fun in the long term say 100hrs?

Yeah the AI teammates have to be micromanaged. That said, they helped me learn all the hotkeys for commands - so now in multiplayer if I'm with a new player I can easily guide them with commands as well lol


Lock this door brother
Move to this point
I will take the lead, follow me
Lock this door brother
Destroy this target
(I can't read that withotu reading it in my space marine voice Lol)


Oh also, in singleplayer, if you give the heavy gunner a stormshield and thunderhammer, he seems to never die lol

H heals yourself
0 Heals the medic
9 Heals the other guy


HOPE that helps a little - I enjoy multiplayer a lot personally. No Mercy difficutly gives more exp and adds a bit more challenge - me and my friend played the first level over and over until we mastered a method of completing it (with my stubborn ass playing an apothecary with lightning claws) last night actually lol.

I treat the single player team as I kinda did in rainbow six vegas.

I'd just let em do their own thing, until I specifically wanted them to lock a door, take that guy out, get out of the way, whatever.

[-Armageddon-]

Yeah but the just lock the door they don't block it, locked door means nothing the xenos can still open it

It's crap unless you have 3 friends to play with

Its simple, they just need to program more movment for the terminator ai, and also more melee attacks when 3 xenos are attacking him, instead of trying to use range "use melee when 3 xenos attacking swuad ai check" :) :)
