Dumb as FUCK AI in L4D 2

[H8MyBoss]

Remember in L4D 1, where you could pretty much get thru all the campaigns on single player set on Normal, with your AI team mates pretty much being good, RELIABLE team mates for the most part?

Well, shit has changed BIG TIME with L4D 2, and it aint good at all.

I start playing single player on Normal. I get to the Atrium level of Dead Center, or whater the mall level is, the first campaign, and I see that the AI team mates are COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY FUCKING USELESS. I'm running my ass off, trying to gather gas canisters, and the dumb fuck AI's are on the ground floor, fighting zombies. I tried the Atrium level about 6 times in a row on Normal, before I got really frustrated with how the AI was behaving, so I had no choice but to start over on Easy. Low and behold, I got past it.

On to Dark Carnival.

I have it still set on Easy >> I don't want to get fucking pummeled and fristrated my first time playing thru a new vid game, so I set it on easy to learn the level and get thru it. Here's where things fall apart. Jockies, mother fucking cocksucking fucking Jockies. Now, why is it that whenever i get pinned by a Charger, Smoker, Hunter, Tank or Witch, the AI comes to my rescue RIGHT AWAY, but when I get fuckin mounted by a god damned Jockie, the AI team mates are nowhere to be seen? I got hit 4 FUCKING TIMES by Jockies while trying to run the roller coaster gauntlet, and where are the AI team mates? Doing the same fucking thing they did in the Atrium >> sitting at the start of the coaster ride, killing zombies, and not following me as I am trying in vain to reach the objective.

I tried Dark Carnival about 5 times, ON FUCKING EASY, before I finally got super pissed off and shut the fuckin game off.

Ironically, this only happens during the time when you have to rely on the AI team mates the most important parts >> during a fucking gauntlet run!!! They are GREAT when yer just booting around killing zombies, but are totally fucking useless when it comes to gauntlet runs....

i hear ya, well not l4d i have yet to play it but with resident evil 5 i had some issues with the ai, i would die couse my ai team mate was off on the other side of the map wile im laying there dieing. They need to code it so if your ai team mates get too far away they get tp'ed to you, would fix a lot of player issues and getting at your pc and well inserting the keyboard into the monitor

Hopefully a patch will fix that, but you never know. I'm gonna try it again today, but this time i'm not gonna play like the AI knows what to do >> gonna go slow and make sure they follow....

Heh, I wonder if its possible to beat single player alone. That would be fun.

Cool pic of the destroyed monitor h8 lol

I don't recall the AI friendlies in the first game but they do suck in the second one. I'm more of a loner anywho so I usually shoot my AI teammates when they lag behind.

LOL H8, that was a great... rant... lol, but all very true. I'm playin on normal and find them very dumb indeed, this AI director 2.0 I find really pumps the zombie weiner right to you. I beat the first section and got killed at the very end of the second 1 just as I was leapin on the chopper. I think with 4 real people, it would rock. So now I have my drivers all worked out for this windows 7 and my games r running great, we need to get some coop going.....

[H8MyBoss]

I'm down for that, Duke. I'll look for you guys on vent for a round or 3.

Left 4 Dead 2 is indeed much more difficult than the previous one. It would be better if we play this with the other players. I tried the single player mode but it was quite difficult playing even when the difficulty level is set to normal. I am enjoying playing this with my friends. You will really enjoy playing with friends.

You definitely need human teammates if you want to get anything done on some modes. However, I've found playing scavenge mode against a team with half computer is harder than a team with all humans lol. Just cause the computer sticks with the humans and covers them way better than other humans
