I've been playing warcarzzz offline for the past week trying to get the stupid achievements for the orb, avril and Connect the Dots. I managed to get the avril one and the orb Hero one but ffs the bots are dumb.
I originally had them on Adept and it wasn't even fun they were so easy, they had no idea wtf they were doing 99% of the time and that allowed me to get godlikes. I even upped the skill level to Masterful and all that did was make their aim better with the link gun and have 200% accurate in the turrets. Basically, the only time they actually gave me a problem was in when they managed to remember to use the turrets. They could hit you from across the map even though you just walked out from behind a rock. Other than that, the bots did absolutely nothing but die on both sides. When the bots pick up the Shaped Charge or the Link Generator, it's like the AI shuts down. They will run around, run right up to you and just stand there holding the deployable, and yes, I'm talking about the enemy team.
My team mates would get stuck on rocks, walls, carzzz, jump pads, swim around in circles in water, stare at walls and fire link guns, get into tanks and fire at walls, block my way but hoping up and down on the skateboard, block my way with the carzzzz, block my way by becoming a large clump of bots just standing in a group, waste the Levi by driving it to some random place that no nodes or people were and fire at walls, they would all try to jump on a jump pad at the same time, constantly knocking each other off the jump arc causing them to fall and get hurt, they'd continue to do this until one of them died from falling, need I go on? The bot AI is horrendous in War, they can't do anything right except fire with 100% accuracy on you in the turrets.
Even the maps are extremely buggy. I found so many invisible meshes that stick up from the ground that prevents you from walking over what should be a flat surface or when you try to dodge, you hit the invisible mesh and you fall off a platform. I also managed to get stuck on rocks, trees, walls, meshes, carzzz and other various decorations. Sometimes I could feign death and escape alive but most of the time I'd end up dying from feigning. But TBH I don't like floating in the air and not being able to move.
If I ever play offline it's usually CTF or DM to learn maps better and I didn't think there were any serious bugs in the game offline, but I've completely recanted that statement now that I've tried this. War is the worst gametype I've ever played offline, it's so buggy and the bots are just useless.
Matt, don't even bother trying War, it's not fun at all. :c
), and WAR offline is one of my favourite gametypes. And yes, it is fun to kill bots and not being some kind of competitiveness hog.
