They should tweak the bots up to insane death monster levels out of nowhere just to screw with people.

The AI won't change... it is really bad even after the devs said the AI was not possible without the Cloud... I know devs wants to make you get the Titan fast and for that reason I really expected avg. AI but not that dumb fest.

The game is fun but I guess real players could be a better choice.

The AI isn't really bad at all, you're simply misunderstanding it's purpose.

The grunts are designed as cannon fodder, only the spectres have any real power, and even then minimal.  They are designed to fill the map, and be used for misdirection for real players.

Conversely, autopilot titans are designed to be lethal, and they are, their AI is very aggressive.


lol. The AI for both is awful. I shouldn't usually win a 1v5 battle even with the grunts. That's just lazy programming. I also don't know what you mean with good titan AI. I don't get crap with them when I'm out of them.

I get a fair few kills with my Titan if I pick the spot right and put it on Guard mode?

And yes, you are meant to win a 1-5 battle with grunts, as I said, they're a strategic tool, not a series of AI bots for you to have a serious scrap with.

I don't see how what you're saying makes sense. Everyone but you agrees that they're annoyingly easy. 

I am not denying they are easy?

Especially with the smart gun, which is pretty much just a handy grunt killer.  What I am saying is that they are not, in-and-of-themselves, designed to be a challenge to you, a pilot.  So to say they're easy, and therefore the AI is dumb, is extraordinarily counter-intuitive, as their particular AI is not meant to be challenging in direct combat.
