Exactly. In fact, the AI bots are basically canon fodder and not really smart opponents. It was basically a way to hype up the cloud when it was something that could have been done on local HW. In truth, even in the future (when we have faster, more stable internet), it will still be much easier to just do it with local HW. Just imagine how powerful the next round of systems will be by then. |
First, the AI were never suppose to be smart. They are exaclty what the developer want them to be which is canon fodder. What Respawn stated is that the AI runs server side instead of client side which when those routines do not have to be calculated by the client machine. Anything that runs server side frees up resources on the client machine.
The problem with most of your points is the fact that we pretty much run a lot of stuff based on a online connection like Multiplayer games, MP only games and MMO. There are millions of people that play MMOs where you are dependant on a constant connection and that number keeps going up not down.
