I play as a medic 100% the time and i'm getting pretty pissed off because whenever I get downed when fighting AI's, they shoot my body and kill me before I can even get half done self reviving. And sometimes they kill my downed body before I can even think. It's like one second i'm getting shot, and the next, i'm back at the spawn area. They should not be that determined, or that good at killing my downed body that fast. I guess i'm just adding to the fact that the AI's in this game need to get toned down a lot.

The AI do what sensible players do - they'll shoot or melee you to finish the job when you're down - BUT they only do it when there's no other threats around - if you have friendlies nearby, you'll survive a little longer.

If a teammate goes down alone against the AI on hard (or sensible players online), I don't even try to revive them, I know I won't make it. If there's another player or two, or I'm close enough to draw the enemy's fire, I'll make sure I get there and get them back on their feet.

I understand what your saying and it makes sense, but I've had times on normal or even easy when they will relentlessly kill me off eve in a huge firefight (ex. defending the missile from being hacked on shipyard)

Yeah this is not a game where you can play hero. without the ability for instant headshot kills and the like you really need your team nearby to support you. If you're all by your lonesome then yeah the AI is going to finish you off rather than have to worry about some sneaky medic hiding around a corner and tossing you a revive syringe.

What I'm trying to say is they WILL kill me off even if all my teammates are nearby and shooting at them. And they do it in what seems like a millisecond.

I have never noticed the AI go for a downed player to the exclusion of still standing players attacking, regardless of the difficulty setting. I think either A)you're exaggerating out of frustration or B) you're actually getting downed by grenade blasts, which they will toss into a group of attacking players and which will take you down even though you aren't specifically the target.

I have come up with an theory of explanation. I believe that the AI's are going out of their way to kill my body simply because the fact that they know I can self revive. I based this off of the fact that when you have the surgically implanted explosive as the operative, all AI's will immediately step away from you and shoot you while your downed to ensure that they don't get killed by the ability.

I don't have either one of those abilities and I still get mauled by the AI whenever I'm downed, often even during a firefight. And it's not like I have time to react either, it's like I'm not even on the ground yet and I'm dead. It's so fast the Incapacitated UI doesn't even appear. I'm uncertain I could even physically do that, myself. I don't often play against bots except when there's nobody on a server, but when I do, I prefer Dos Equis they demolish me.

See this is exactly what i was talking about earlier (sorry for using you as an example :]), even if there is teammates around and theres a firefight going on, they can kill your body faster than you can blink. It's pretty frustrating. I'm not asking for more health when your down, but I definately agree with others I've seen posted that they should tone down the enemy AI's in the game.

They finish you off all the time once your past like level 16.

I go out of my way to kill them when they're down, why shouldn't they go out of their way to kill me?

If you want easier bots play on an easier level of play.

Look, all i'm saying is that it sometimes seems a little useless to have a self revive, or surgically implanted bomb, if you get killed before you can even use it.

Wouldn't you think your opponent was kind of stupid if they downed you and then either turned their back on you so you could self revive or walked over to you so you could cortex bomb them? The self revive isn't a tool to go running around like a mad man, stick with your team and you'll get the chance to use it more often while they're drawing fire. Cortex bomb is the same way, although could svck with FF on.

They, like you, should be able to tell your class. When they know you're in a game at the same level as them, that means they know you COULD have the Cortex Bomb or Self Revive abilities - so if they see you're an Operative, they stay away, just in case - I'm high enough level for it, but haven't bought it yet, and the AI literally NEVER melee finish me when I'm Operative. If I'm a Medic, and don't have self-revive, they still make a point of finishing me off as a priority - if they see you throw a syringe to someone, or see someone throw one to you, they'll try and finish the downed player before they can get back into the fight.

It's intelligent play. Frustrating, and possibly over-aware, but intelligent.

This pretty much sums it up lol
