so when you play with a squad full of bots is there a way to make them act like a squad? the bots behave too much like other players and the lack of teamwork is horrid. it just seems like they should be halfway intelligent. instead as long as I reverse rhe pattern they move in im just sitting in a fatal funnel 24/7 racking up so many kills i run outta ammo on the lmg XD and never having back up is quite annoying. I understand rando players are never going to cooperate but why dont the bots? and I missing functions and doing it wrong or am I expecting too much?

also if anyone is interested in playing tactical hmu!

Mark enemy soldiers and if you're playing Conquest, give the order of which area to attack/protect

They're always with the entire group of bots. I mark an objective i wipe out the enemy team(or more realisticly die 8,9 times) then they show up... when they should never have left my general vicinity... I get the rest of the team but you simply dont have a squad... it always feels like a vague suggestion that they will get around to nothing like giving a soldier an order. I will try to spam the protect this objective and see if they will just stay there. I woukd prefer them never just abandon the objectives like they do. Wait till ordered to take a different one. They don't act like soldiers.

Bots are just spawn points in your squad and nothing more. Sometimes those are bad spawn points though because none of them are given enough AI to seek cover when a tank is right in front of them.

Yeah I just played a game flying an Osprey (idk what the game calls it) the whole time and it was like watching a idiocracy.... I wonder if difficulty helps or if it just makes them bullet sponges and more accurate.

I agree. I wish you could command them like in ghost recon. It’s hard to be tactical in breakthrough when they just walk right out into the open.

Definitely or rainbow 6 even. Im going back to operation Flashpoint. This community has been wonderful! But thats the only good thing about the game. I wanted to have fire fights/ have vehicles that were fun... but the "balancing" is so god awful... it was great being around yall.
