Another BOT causing problems in GOLD games...

Yeah why is it that people haven't learned how to vote kick someone out? I agree yes, a bullet sponge can be handy but i would much rather someone inexperienced actually playing and doing that, than some bot player.

In that game it was later in the evening, and i'd disabled my mic by unplugging the usb cable to the device, sadly though when you do that , you can't just plug it back in mid-game and then talk to people.. not with usb anyway as it detects the device and by then ME:A has deemed device no longer available.

I honestly don't even think sometimes when you do talk on a working mic that everyone can hear you either, so many people mute other players, i tend not to talk at all during the game, but when I experience bot/hack users i tend to speak up then. Only in one game recently did everyone vote kick the offender, but i wish communication was better.

I would prefer to kick the bot very very early, so that they get no MP credits at all, or at least minimal.

how do you know he is a bot?
why is he therE? how put it therE?

Believe me, when you encounter one, you will know.

Some just sit in the start circle, they do fire a few shots now and again, or they may move slightly, but you will know by several factors.

Variant #1: The Start area/extraction circle sitter
1. Their score is minimal likely from objectives won by the rest of the team.
2. They rarely move.. they don't follow round the map and participate.
3. They die OFTEN and no matter how many times you revive them, you can guarantee they will die again, and again.
4. 99% of the time they won't have moved, and will sit behind cover in the start area.

This type of bot relies on you to do all the killing so that they can get the MP credits/mission funds etc for zero effort on the bot owners part.

Variant #2: The faker
1. You will observe that they punch at things that are not there multiple times
2. You will observe them shooting at things that are not there
3. They will often be looking out towards the edge of the map, and even unloading an entire clip at the outside of the map.
4. They will use their evade often to move.
5. They will not actively engage into any fight
6. They will die often.
7. They will not revive you.. the bot has no idea how to do that.
8. You will not get any help from the bot, they are controlled by a macro, how could they.. unless of course their random punch or shot happens to hit an enemy mob by chance only.
9. You will observe them moving around the map, but not with any sense of direction. SO they will get stuck, they will get torn a new butt by the enemies and they will die.

THIS type while it may seem more clever, you really notice even more because of the sheer lunacy of the way it moves and appears to be detached from everything going on around it.


The OWNER of them puts them in game, perhaps even auto launches/readies into games and leaves the bot running just like that screwing over game..after game.. .. after game.

and as far as 'how do you know he is a bot'.. believe me.. you WILL know if you are observant enough to spot the above symptoms i've outlined.

Not disagreeing or trying to disprove what you played, I see the vid, just saying, same person was in my game putting in work, perhaps as you say they were home and the bot wasn't running. But honestly, even 5K points at the end of the game is better than some actual live pugs on PC.
