Why cant you just fix the damn AI

Why cant splash damage and for that matter bethesda force them to fix the god damed AI in this game?!!! Who the hell gave you guys the idea that making friendly AI dumber as you rank up and enemy AI insanely smart is going to make players use teamwork. Not everyone likes to play with strangers and if I have no friends on then I play solo which for me is a torturous process since I am forced to play "lone wolf" to get all the damn objectives dont ALONE. And on EVERY defend mission when the timer reaches about 2 mins my team decides its a good idea to leave the primary and guard 1 usless command post. I dont want to have to play the whole level just because developers think I should. If I have held down the objective for 8:30 dont make my team just go useless so we have to do the next part, that is piss poor programing and frankly makes me want to cancel my preorders of bethesda games and never buy a splash damage game again and it looks like most of the brink community is agreeing with me on this so why risk going bankrupt over a game that can be fixed. And I dont want to hear just go play with other people I tried they are as useless as the AI.

I agree with this. I think the enemy AI should probably be a little less smart(they camp with shotguns), and the friendly AI should be improved a lot. They don't help with ANYTHING. I really hope we see this issue addressed.
EDIT: I don't agree with never buying Splash Damage or Bethesda games. Brink is amazing.

I agree, on defense it should be Easy = your bots dominate towards the end of the clock. Normal = you'll need to get involved all the way to the last tick of the clock. Hard = Enemy bots step it up towards the end of the clock.

On offense it should be Easy = your bots dominate towards the end of the clock. Normal = your bots perform much better towards the end of the clock, but you'll still need to get involved. Hard = your bots will step up to the plate and do their job, but you're going to have to pull a lot of slack to get the job done.

Really, it's about dragging out the game, not winning or losing (except in campaign, then it's about winning :D)

It just isn't very much fun to make no progress while on the offense, or on the defense you're getting overwhelmed just minutes in to the objective with over 10 to go still.

I have the exact same issues with AI in this game. If I've defended an objective down to the last minute, don't make my AI suddenly useless and the enemy AI suddenly super coordinated and smart.
It's a waste of my time if I'm going to lose the entire match only in the last minute because of AI programming.
