Fix the AI

Post » Fri Nov 18, 2011 1:48 pm

Do something about the AI in this game!!! I cannot complete Day 6 mission on Security [HARD] because they are all too stupid to help support. That's the shipyard mission where its impossible to hack the final computer.... There's no cover, my team is too busy capturing useless command posts, to even bother holding back the enemy who disarm my hack in seconds. Is is that hard to program them to actually help with the mission you select on your mission wheel???

Select mission, AI helps you do that mission. Very simple concept.
Choose another mission, AI helps you do that one as well.

Very frustrating.

it took me a few tries too, the mission was rather tricky.

i find it's easier to cover the ai rather than have the ai cover you. also, i svck at first person shooters.

euston - muzzle brake, grenade, iron, drum
drognav - muzzle brake, rapid fire, dflex

i have all grenade upgrades.
i used the above to beat all missions on hard. my grenade timer was always on recharge - unless my supply timer was on recharge. if they ambush me before my grenade timer, i'll use the molotov. i only shoot the euston to finish people off that the grenades don't instantly kill.

there's a ledge overlooking the command post/hack location, i stand up there. when enemies are close, i grenade them. when they are far, i snipe them. occasionally, an enemy will sneak up behind me and kill me after i kill him (downed fire). i usually end up as best soldier with most amount of kills; leading me to believe that if i kill the enemies, the rest of the team can do their very basic scripts (ie medics healing, operatives hacking, etc) a little bit. also likely, i just got very lucky that my whole team was sitting in the same area.

sorry if your character isn't a soldier build - i don't imagine that i could've done the mission any other way. on the other hand, you can always respec later.

This mission requires you to get an overpowered gun with good attachments to proceed. Try putting a 'nade launcher with a Gerund. As your secondary, use the Kross with n mag attachment, like smg drum or high capacity.

It also requires you to sometimes say, 'screw my teammates' and do stuff on your own from time to time so that the AI will be convinced to back you up. (idk how that works, but it did.) When hacking the controls, take cover behind a waist high barrier that is behind you to ensure your view on enemies, and you see one get close by, take your gun out and shoot.

Before you arrive at the missile, try to anolyze how many people are there, then try to get in. Put caltrops (I'm with the assumption here that you have caltrops) by the missile to ensure that the enemy will slow down. Throw nades and such if you must. Also, use disguises to get in alone and secure the area until your team arrives. That's how I did it, anyways....

I finished it by inviting a human player into my game. He did a good enough job covering me while I hacked, while the AI was running back and forth getting command posts....
