Maybe I'm just bad but....

I think be more objective two stars is way too hard. It's annoying how many disadvantages you have. I think it's a bit over whelming.

Your bots are [censored]. Which branches off into several things: They are not as skilled as enemy bots, they don't give the right buffs at the right time, they always hang back and do nothing useful, they don't plant turrents, they don't give much supporting fire, medics give the unneeded speed boost over a health buff, overall just horrible teammates.

On the enemies side. They are coordinated, cooperative, win fire fights against your teammates, fairly accurate, plant turrents, ALWAYS surrounding the objective, get to the objective with great speed, revive consistantly. And most importantly, they heavily outnumber you. I'm pretty sure on their team they have 6-8 while we have measily 4 with 3 of them retards. It's like fighting a hydra, every time you cut one head off, 1 or 2 more grow in it's place. Sometimes more.

Not only this, but if you do it with friends, you don't get any rewards. So its completely pointless to do it with friends.

It's basically, to complete this mission EVERYTHING MUST GO YOUR WAY. You must run to first objective and plant the bomb before the enemy gets there, or your screwed. You must complete the next repair objective in 3 minutes in order to not be behind. The hack objective, the what is in my opinion the hardest objective to complete in this challenge and probably the entire game, in about 3 minutes. And the last one in however much time you have less.

This all my opinion. I've seen the guide video and followed the instructions but no luck.

Basically all their good for. And a buff and revive here and there. If they can get to you mind you without being mauled by a single enemy bot or more.

The friendly A.I. isn't actually as bad as it seems sometimes, they just need you to hold their hand for a little bit. Once you knock the enemy a.i. back long enough for your guys to move up they can hold the hack box long enough for you to finish.

The thing about BMO is that you have to pay attention to the patterns of both your a.i. and the enemy a.i. and some openings begin to appear.

The plant shouldn't be too hard even with a medium (and it's easy with a light), the repair can be done in one move if you get up there fast enough and if you watch the radar you can see when they're coming and duck away to regroup, and the hack can be tricky but if you play peek-a-boo with the bots to keep them focused on you while you hack you can keep them from coming around and killing you or removing the box (only the one bot is an engi).

boo f***ing whoo a video game was hard.

I finished it just fine at lvl 20 at a med, light and heavy without partners and played it sucessfuly with partners. I really hate it when devs make people play the hardest modes to get regular stuff tbh. I'd rather the hard parts of the game be optional if you like a challenge but that's what it is. Just rush the engineer part and you should be ok.

@Horty it wasn't even the challenging, satisfying kind-of hard; it's just the downright insanely imbalanced & infuriating kind-of hard.

I remember going about that one as a lvl 20... and it was a nightmare. It's certainly down to luck finishing it, tbh to unlock the gear I just created a new character and it was much easier. The trick with the hack objective is to throw down the hackbox ASAP, even if you're getting fired at, and take the hack around the corner into the Command Post cage. If you're unlucky, then 1 or 2 guys might follow you, then you just have to run around the corner again or be lucky enough to kill them.

The only difference between challenging sataisfying and insanely imbalanced & infuriating kind of hard is you ability to eventually overcome the challenge. In video games, unless you play MP with clans, most of the challenge will come from something being unfair... just look at the bots on hard. You get headshotted with the first 5 rounds out of an SMG chamber while wall hopping as a light, you walk up behind a bot as an op in disguise and hit R to shoot him but before your gun comes up the bot "knows" you are an enemy turns and kills you within half a second of leaving the disguise. Whats challenging but satasfying for a 5 year old is mundane and tedious for a teenager, and it's the same thing with videogames.

As I said I don't think people should be forced to play on the highest difficulty of something just to get access to attachments or guns, but it isn't impossible just watch some vids of people doing it and try to create openings for yourself.

I thought all the challenges were too easy, making the gun mods, less cool. all ya need is grenade launcher(pro-noob style), and adjusted iron sights anyways...
