Yes. I dont know why they would strip the game of all the improvements they had made to the teammate AI. Being able to tell your team to 'get down' or 'go stealth' was extremely valuable in S3 but is nowhere to be found in CA. Its like they needed room for extra programming for the co-op stuff so they erased a bunch of exsisting code leaving huge gaps and holes in the gameplay. So then you have to make up for it by playing for all 4 members of the fireteam.
The AI seems to get even more inconsistent as the game goes on. I've seen enemies standing right in front of me in plain view but they dont react while other times they can see through walls; especially on the later levels inside the buildings. I've also had the fireteam frozen and not moving at all after I've issued simple commands like 'follow' or 'move to'.
Another big problem I noticed was the slowing framerate and choppy animations--as if the cpu has trouble processing all the information for the entire fireteam. Since the other 3 seals are cpu controlled instead of them being human-controlled and processed by 4 different ps2s, a single system has trouble running smoothly.
I hate the fuken game. It doesnt make any sense. in the level reprisal if u go up to the wooden bridges and go far right, u get shot through a wall bya sniper. my guys dont kill anyone. i say takedown they say WTF R U TALKIN ABOUT. ESPECIALLY IN REPRISAL they cant follow, they jump down in water and get shot by the mercenaries. otherwise i sdo shoot them. in the levelwhere u have to go in the storage faculty and mark weapons, if u go outside around the place. ive cleared the outside then guys behind appear like ghosts and shoot me. once i shoot that guy, and wealk off, another fuken guy shows up. AND WHY THE FUK DO I HAE TO KEEP RELOADING WITH A FULL CLIP AFTER A FEW SHOTS WHILE PLAYING ONLINE. Im also getin tired of the ranges u put on the new maps zipper. wtf u cant hit anyone. My New Job, Criticizin SOCOM
Just to clarify - I checked out reprisal, and there is a sniper who shoots at you when you go on the far right bridge. However, he is UNDER you, so on my screen I thought i was getting shot through the wall too until I looked straight down. As for the rest of your team being idiots... that's why everyone is so into co-op. At least the idiots there can heal you with med kits!

GOR to the CORE
i know what youre talking about! any time i put a takedown on a guy they are like "are you serious?" or "are you kidding me commander?" or "SIR, what are you talking about!?"
I really don't have much to say on this topic except....S:CA single player is horrible and takes my prize for worst S/P of the socom series along with S3. I loved S1 & S2 S/P, but WTH happened after that remains a mystery.
thanks for the heads up about the ca single player that just sounds awful...............and the ai was pretty good in s3 so why does it completly suck now?

I will agree that the single player AI was horrible. I however, liked the missions and what the objectives were. Keep the maps and the missions, and UPDATE THE AI. I also don't like how you have to shoot a damn terrorist 5 times in the body to kill him,
The Co-Op would be amazing if it didn't lag as much as it does. I actually died because a Merc. was lagging.
EDIT:
The biggest flaw I noticed in the AI was when you lean around a corner. The Terrorists will NOT see you. It's like you have an invisibility cloak on for the time being. That was the best way to take them down, more so in the mission where you have to take down the Mercs., and defuse the bombs. I just cocked a lean, and BAM. Bye, bye bad guy.

Reason: Because I can.
I don't like the single player modes because the fire team is so noob i prefer to get online to play with experienced players instead of game robot. more fun wouldn't get bored
omfg. how many times has this topic been posted? like 40 fuking thousand times. dont you guys have something better to do then gripe and complain. if you hate it so much just dont play it! oh, and mr.slickness you aint so slick. the reason you realod is cuz you're probably pressin down r3. try not to press down so hard when moving smart one.
Shut up, this thread has been up for 3 months and it's the only one of its kind. You're also responding to someone who posted more than 2 months ago so you arn't so "slick" either. Also, when you say a swear work block it out don't just type a sortened version because there's a little thing called .
I have learned to deal with the SEAL team AI. I usually just leave fireteam bravo laying down in a clear room and have them focus all fire power on the only area an enemy can come into. Then I simply go wit Jester and finish the mission. It just takes some time figuring out how to work with the AI.
No doubt about it, online is so much more fun. Of course, since it's more fun, Zipper had to find a way to mess it up and piss us off. Servers are so pathetic. You'll get booted off frequently, you get so many join room errors, and at the end of some games, Zipper took the liberty of showing you they can reset your PS2 without you doing anything. That really ticks me off.
The online isn't as good as people here were talking about. The terrorists see you from 120 meters away while you're crawling through bushes. If they're mercs, they'll shoot three bullets, all three will hit you and you'll die. Nothing pisses me off more than being killed in some impossible manner.
Online also has this glitch where, after a while, your mic won't work so you have to unplug it and plug it back in. It keeps doing it, too, so you have to keep doing it. That is the most irritating thing ever.
Zipper said they were making a patch for all these problems, but I wouldn't hold my breath. There hasn't been an update since CA's release. They have out money now, they don't care about making patches anymore.
