#VERDUN WW1 GAME SINGLE PLAYER UPDATE#

I play it mainly because of the bots because otherwise I would not waste $$ on a game where to play I have either to endure 200 ping (I however play on US server regularly despite this) or play against 1 other guy from my side of the world.Developed by Red Storm Entertainment, Verdun is a World War I strategy video game. Also I have yet to see a bot use an automatic weapon on Verdun, but they use MGs on Tannenberg.Īs for Tannenberg and Verdun, well I started playing tannenberg and I like it more, but I purchased Verdun when it released bots. And what works for Tannenberg doesn't work for Verdun because on Tannenberg I see them using cover more effectively (altough not always), where they seem to completely ignore Verdun's trenches and stand on top of them very unrealistically. This forces the players to rely on teamwork to overcome static defenses like that, flank or use smoke grenades to advance, even baiting and sniping works, and it makes coop VERY fun.īots on both Tannenberg and Verdun need improvement however. For example, bots with an MG have a margin of 1 or 2 seconds to spot you and mow you down with almost perfect accuracy (that coupled with the lines the soldier shout about 'oh ♥♥♥♥ an MG! get down!') and forcing you to crawl down under cover.

And for older games the perfect ones in a squad type game were the ones in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, in more arena games UT99 and UT2004 were great.Īs for Day of Infamy, what I like is that bots are more programmed to be immersive rather than being fair or competitive. I have seen better, as of current games Day of Infamy comes to mind, specially the ones in coop mode. Originally posted by X6qPlayer: These are the best I've seen in recent times by multiplayer games ago. Playing against players is better but bots are cool to.ĭefinitely for the better!!! I am an Aussie our servers were dead for ages any way. Bots is cool because you can play by yourself and anyone else who joins is a bonus. Only option is up the guts with plenty of smoke. That being said, it's still one of my favorite online games.īut seriously, teamplay has always been an issue, it's just that now everything is multiplied by 2. It was never good cause people always ganged up on noobs and teams were unbalanced half the time, but now you don't even notice teams are off because of bots.

#VERDUN WW1 GAME SINGLE PLAYER UPDATE#

Since the update I've seen things like one team lacking 6 players and nobody notices because of all the bots. It's not that bad imo, but team play mechanics really need to be revised.įor instance make squads larger, and do something about team balance. I guess my point is your analysis as to why Verdun has lost something is totally wrong, but I agree that something is off. If you don't know what catalyst means google it before sh*tposting. You blame bots and this update way too much when actually this update just acts as a catalyst to problems that were already there BEFORE the update. Namely, a 4 player squad trying to flank can no longer have any effect in the outcome of the match. Originally posted by X:64 players matches emphasize teamplay issues. The game was fun when it was just real people playing against each other.

Your actions don't really help your team win. Feels like a campaign mode where you just play against the computer. It has changed the feel of playing with real players. There's too many useless bots running around.

Made it worse in another way by having to spawn farther away from the enemy trench. The new spawning screen makes it harder to advance and seems to be broken. While in the 32 player mode it takes real teamwork to win. You don't really help capture the trench it's done for you. It feels like the computer is playing against itself and you don't have much of an effect on the out come of the match. If you wanted to play with bots then get Tannenberg.īot killing feels effortless and kind of pointless unlike killing a real player which takes skill. Verdun shouldn't have been turned into Tannenberg. The adding of 64 player bot mode and new spawn screen has ruined Verdun.
