So I'm wondering, what if I were to puke and while still puking, I press RB, would I hit the people behind me? Seriously, the guy isn't facing me and I call zombie bullshit on that one.

This could be lag as stated before, but another issue with things like this (boomer hitting you while looking away, survivor shooting out of his/her back) is the fact that the character models in this game turn slower than the person is aiming. The game obeys the players aim over the models, of course, and these weird BS like effects happen.

Or when you grab someone with the Smoker and the tongue randomly breaks, I hate that shit so much. It's like you can't smoke someone through a crack anymore without it breaking.

I haven't played w Bryant for a while. I took like a 4 month or so break shortly after this.

That game haunts me to this day. I still remember it very clearly. Their bots were on their asses like flys on dog shit.

There was a specific instance that stand out. Parish 4 our 2 bots were just chilling on the first floor of the first building you avance through... doing nothing................ like....... we're up there fucking jumping up and down shooting all around... cursing like sailors.... and the bots just stayed down stairs for absolutely no fucking reason for a whhhiiiiillllleeeeee.

It was pretty unbelievable; the worst part is that it was a culmination of an entire campaign of the worst bot play you've ever seen.

Until that point I had never lost a 1v1... ever... I haven't invited someone for a 1v1 since that game...

The map before, Parish 3 at the sewer, I timed my smoke PERFECT to get an instant kill at the sewer but their bots were sooo fucking on it I had no chance they all dropped instantly. No one alive could get the instakill there.

Our Coach bot though, ha, he got charged after we had dropped down the sewer ladder and had made it half way through the tunnel. He just stood there by himself, chillin. Waitin to get fucked up.

It boggled my mind. It was crazy, not only was our bot play unbelievably bad (you are reading this doubting it was that bad... oh yes... it was that bad...), but the other teams' bots were on point.

And those are just 2 specific cases, I remember upon first writing that post... i literally could have complained for pages filled with specific instances where we got bent over and fucked no lube by our AI...

....

This game man.... so weird..... you take it too seriously and you WILL lose sleep.

I don't take this game seriously at all anymore, especially when it comes to the AI. It's the main cause for most of my loses.

Believe me, I'm not saying that to hide my own short comings, the AI is seriously messed up in this game.

How are we supposed to win when my team gets 700 Commons in one chapter and the other team gets 110. Seriously!

Whatever, I don't take it even remotely seriously anymore. Just accept that the AI wants one team to win whether you like it or not.

Like you experienced, it's not just Infected AI. One teams AI Survivors will be untouchable while the others have iron boots on.

Anyone who doesn't believe that's the truth; anyone who thinks we are making excuses === has not played this game enough.
