That might say more about the average player of modern cod games than the AI to be honest.. Most pub games on cod are too easy and thus you might as well be shooting bots. I would be truely impressed if the bots could match games in clanmatches etc. Of course, the point would be to have AI good enough for the average player. so that is pretty neat! You also did not have to suffer from kids shouting on the voicechat and all the bad community parts :-)

"That might say more about the average player of modern cod games than the AI to be honest.." Lmao. You got me there. I didn't consider that. It does seem more than that, though, as the bots did things like camping, soloing, revenging, or careful groups. The CoD player knockoff might be behaviors like tea bagging. It did something goofy but I cant remember if it was that or something else. Once he said it was bots, I quicky found its weaknesses to start killing them in mass. "You also did not have to suffer from kids shouting on the voicechat and all the bad community parts :-)" You might be semi-joking but this is a real market. Lots of people got off Live or at least its voice features because of this. We're even talking on an invite-only, low-noise forum for similar reasons. So, AI or game developers should keep that in mind when making tradeoffs in marketing.

  It was more of a sadly-but-true statement than a joke, as I completely agree with you that there is a market there. Around the same time my friends and I started having families, most of us stopped gaming online because it was hard to coordinate all of us having time to play together, and playing with random people online was (often) a bad experience as we could not play 'on their level'. A game with an actual good AI that feels like real players (without the annoyance of them) would be something I could see myself spend some time on.
