Take bots out of the game

Take bots out of the game.

[TaelsMD]

Hmmm no.

[Jeroniwhoa]

Hmmm no.

Your reasons for leaving them in?

[bbsmth933]

take bots out of the game and make the penalty for quitters MUCH harsher. All bots do is distort stats and waste your team's lives. They're completely useless.

[Crimson Ninja]

Your reasons for leaving them in?lol Your reasons for taking them out?

[bbsmth933]

lol Your reasons for taking them out?

They distort stats (and waste your team's lives in TDM). If the penalty for quitters was let's say losing a whole level, people would only quit when it's absolutely unavoidable. As of now bots are only there for free kills. Maybe every once in a while they'll steal a kill or pickup your favorite power weapon but other than that their useless.

[Jeroniwhoa]

lol Your reasons for taking them out?

-Playing against or with bots is not fun
-Too easy to kill, or
-Have eyes behind the head, turn around, blindfire 100% accuracy, insta-down
-Grab map weapons, waste them
-Twirl their smoke grenade looking straight at a player close in on them until they die
-The only pro to having bots is distracting the other team, but that doesn't really help
-etc. etc. could go on and on about the cons

No other (decent) game has bots in multiplayer, so why put them in this one? Leave them in private matches only if you want.

[Hooded Claw 006]

What, so you'd rather have 1 vs 5 like at the beginning of Gears 2? That happened to me so many times and was so stupid, at least with bots you have a chance of getting kills, by using the bots as decoys.

Yes, I would rather have a 1v5. More challenging and entertaining than having bots in the game.

100% Correct.

[TheJamsh]

Bots are better than no Bots.

Just wish they'd leave weapons alone...

[Jeroniwhoa]

1 Pro is not enough to justify all the cons

[pigdestroyer01]

Take out the bots! It makes the game boring joing quick matches full of bots all the time! In gears 2 the bots were better tho! In this one all they do is steal my kills and stand on me while I'm down lol

[TheJamsh]

I say we let him have his wish and see if he enjoys being ass ****ed by five people at once.

[Jeroniwhoa]

I say we let him have his wish and see if he enjoys being ass ****ed by five people at once.

I won't win the match, but I will finish with a positive k/d while some of the others on the other team will go negative. That's enough fun for me.

[SadisticDeath]

If you like bots so much then go play private match.. tons of bots there...

[Vintage Senshi]

Erm? nice argument your presenting. This will never happen dude, as much as there an annoyance in TDM there better to have then nothing in other game modes

[WertyJ]

I play in Australia, I'd never find a game if not for bots!

However, make them leave weapons alone. THAT BOLTOK IS MINE *Drone YOU JACKASS

[Sonic40th]

leave the bots in. they are only there in till someone else enters room and fills the empty spots.

[meatheadcog]

bots should be removed from the game 100%

there is no need for them to be in the game

if we had a lobby system where players could swap sides after each match, meaning that WE could decide which team to be on to make matches balanced, there is ZERO need for bots

getting rid of bots also stops people from boosting

gears of war 1 had the best lobby system

[driftmonkey]

More challenging and entertaining. lol

Then comes the loud rage that scares your neighbors enough to call the cops.

[The Dude]

Your reasons for leaving them in?

Splitscreen with friends.

[driftmonkey]

Sorry for the double post. >_<

[SlothKing]

I agree. There's nothing like a bot grabbing a power weapon then pulling out his shotgun and getting killed.

[oO PSYCHOTiC Oo]

Bin the bots
All they do is cause stress

[dopefromie]

every once in a while? They constantly steal kills lol, they do executions super fast, and are always picking up my favorite power weapon...****in bots..

[pete4999]

I'm surprised at all the bot hate. I played enough 2v5 and 3v5 in Gears 2 to know that I never want to play that again. I agree that it over-inflates k/d, but I think that's a necessary evil.

[K1LleRxINstiNcT]

I hate bots. It's so stupid to play against them. I am not satisfied when i kill a bot. They are stupid when in my team, they ALWAYS die, or they kill you in impossible ways thanks to the damned aimbot.

[K1LleRxINstiNcT]

yes, i do agree

[xJ A Y]

Well if theyre not going to take them out they should at least buff them up a little bit

[WHM Daddystu]

You cant flank/sneak up on them lol. You always get a shotty in the face. So yeah, get rid of the suckas :)

[One Reality x]

i bet this kid got pwned by a bot, rage quit, and instantly signed on to this forum and made this stupid, pointless thread

[Vancouva]

As annoying as they are, I don't think they should be removed. As some people have said, it's hard to find a game where they live without bots. I do think though that the Bots need AI improvements to make them less... useless.

[Shawge]

Play ranked...problem solved. It's rare to see a bot.

[WillYouBillMe]

Your reasons for leaving them in? and your reason for getting them out. lol OP you post a topic and don't he go into detail at all and then ask why someone in your thread says hmmmm no. all you said was "take bots out of the game" great thread OP just great.

[Energizamillion]

This.
Probably worst post ive seen in a while.

The argument is that they are too easy, smart one..
Also, they eat up spawns like no other.
Like someone else said, make the quitters have a much harsher punishment in ranked for sure, but for quickmatch i think this should not apply of u joined in the middle of a match, b/c joining a losing battle is just....

[bbsmth933]

If someone quits a ranked game, they should lose a whole level. That way players will only quit when absolutely unavoidable.

As of now, bots only waste your teams lives in TDM and distort stats. They rarely ever gets kills and the only benefit they possibly bring to the table is being a distraction. They steal weapons and the most completely retarded AI in any video game. Take them out, make the penalty for quitters much harsher. This way, yea maybe once in a while you'll have a 3v4, it might be unfair, but it's better than bots contributing to a players stats, medals, ribbons, etc.

[Abracadavre]

Leave the bots alone seriously.
I`ve been against a full team on my own with bots && we won countless times.
the bots are NOT useless as people put them.
sure in TDM they distort your stats.
but in CTL they go for that leader or they go for that ring in KOTH.
Maybe take them out of TDM if it bothers people so much.

[meltiger]

). If the penalty for quitters was let's say losing a whole level, .

Woah

I live in Australia and play 99% of my games on Jap or HK host because of the stupidly high ping times epic have set, I should lose a whole level every time because I refuse to play against someone with an unfair advantage?

No.

[CharlieSpleen]

If the bots were anything like Gears 2 bots I'd be inclined to agree. But the Gears 3 bots are actually pretty good and not insanely op, so I say no

[Savvy Noob]

if you dont want bots in a gears game play gow1 and wait 3 hrs in a lobby

[DiviiNity]

bots should be removed from the game 100%

there is no need for them to be in the game

getting rid of bots also stops people from boosting

gears of war 1 had the best lobby system

Somehow I doubt players choosing sides promotes balance

[Luigi649]

if they change it then when bots go in they need to be put either on hardcore or insane difficulty so they stand a real chance.

[Hartenbergg]

really well thought out thread we got here.

[bbsmth933]

No.

That's unfortunate for you but with all due respect, you quitting and getting replaced with a bot is just as bad as the other team having an unfair advantage. So yes, despite your situation, if you quit and leave your team with a bot, you should lose a level.

[meatheadcog]

divinity, did u not play gears of war 1?

from my experience after each match players swapped sides to make next match more fair

it was ALWAYS like that

why would it not be for gears 3?
