    Thumbs down Coop

    What is the point of online COOP? I think its just a way for people who care about stats to get a whole bunch of kills. ... I jumped in a COOP game last night, I have to say....


    COOP = the gheyness.....

    Does anyone here play COOP? Am I missing some benefit to playing it?

    Co-op is a way for players to shoot bots and make themselves think they're good players. Problem is, of course, bots don't think like a human opponant. They're dumb and unchallenging. I have a feeling the AI was turned down on the servers you played on. If you crank the AI up, it'll test your CPU, and they definitely become a bit more aggressive.

    The Ghost Recon community here, however, has quite a following for co-op. For a while there were quite a few mission makers that would come up with quite imaginative missions that creatively used terrain features, vehicles and bots to make a challenging mission.

    I don't see how they play them over and over again, though... No challenge, IMO. Just a test to see if your aim is better than the bots. No thinking at all.

    Target practice!!

    Honestly, nobody buys BF to play it in single-player. I always thought UT's AI was great but I tried out Onslaught and it looks like our current AI programming can't grasp complex gametypes.

    We're talking about multiplayer co-op here, right?

    Anyway, Onslaught is kinda like the "push" mode of gameplay, right? I would think that having the AI work towards whatever base is the current objective would be fairly easy to add to the regular AI...
