I don’t care for Solo. Personal choice. This isn’t a ‘they lied to me’ reply.

I do however think the bots should have more time put in to them. I don’t get their purpose really other than to present the illusion you’ve still got three team mates when one or more real humans drop from the game?

This post was over two years ago; surely enough time to actually put some pathing etc. in there.
