Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Oh god, this.
Thank god CS:GO lets you control bots after death now.

[–]datechydude 4 points5 points ago

Wait what? I only play arms race, please elaborate.

[–]cokefriend 12 points13 points ago

After you die, if you have bots on your team, you can take over them, rather than watching them just die to the other team.

[–]Barbariandude -1 points0 points ago

I always refer to it as the ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL button.

[–]Fistblastoff 0 points1 point ago

Same with battle mode in mount and blade warned. The bots in there are decent though.

[–]Mack488 34 points35 points ago

Must have went to the same school as NYPD officers.

[–]lowdownlow 6 points7 points ago

Funny, cause I saw this same exact image in a post referencing the NYPD shooting.

[–]Senor_Gnomo 2 points3 points ago

probably more accurate shooters than the NYPD.

[–]ThePhenix 0 points1 point ago

I don't think you've gone to any school whatsoever.

Why the downvotes? He's right.

[–]Meoow 8 points9 points ago

Because fuck logic

[–]Narezzz 8 points9 points ago

I love the determination on their faces to shoot in the wrong direction.

[–]terriblemothra 3 points4 points ago

I always wondered why friendly AI was always horrible while enemy AI was always better.

[–]freedomman22[S] 3 points4 points ago

it's because your guys are special forces and your enemy is normally some militant/inferior group

[–]maraedits 5 points6 points ago

+1 for perfectly looping .gif

[–]Shniggles 2 points3 points ago

It seems to me that in both Left 4 Dead games and in Rainbowsix Vegas 2 the AI are pretty great.

[–]freedomman22[S] -3 points-2 points ago

yea but in the case of L4D, the AI are supposed to represent, normally, random people with no weapons experience except for Bill really. So basically in Halo Reach you have genetically enhanced SPARTAN sniper Jun, who can't hit a thing compared to Rochelle nobody nothing gun training shooting up the zombie hoards... Doesn't make sense

shut up

[–]SimilarImage 8 points9 points ago

[–]goofandaspoof 1 point2 points ago

Reminds me of the AI in Warhammer: Space Marine. You really couldnt rely on them to do anything, and the missions where you were on your own felt more badass anyway.

[–]Nerfherder32 0 points1 point ago

The AI in dragons dogma however, are fucking amazing

[–]Ratohnhaketon 0 points1 point ago

I've only had this problem in brink, those fucking retards

[–]MudCrabSlayer 2 points3 points ago

I don't mind them so much as long as it isn't an escort mission!

[–]ThatStromboli 0 points1 point ago

Good Grief, some people really have no courtesy at all.

You reposted the recent repost of a comment.

Come on...

Cheva on Resident Evil 5

"Oh, it appears you've dropped this land mine! Let me help you with that." It's a good thing the only time I played was with my friend.

[–]sgtpepper_spray 0 points1 point ago

way to be original mate

[–]synicalx1 -3 points-2 points ago

This is also representative of most of the newbies CS:GO seems to have attracted. Seriously for 2 consecutive rounds on dust2, half the T's would run blindly into the tunnels, flash themselves into oblivion and get torn apart by like 2 CT's. This happened twice in a row before they decided to do the same thing with the doors on long...

[–]Zarkx 1 point2 points ago

Let them learn they just started. No reason to be an elitist

[–]synicalx1 -3 points-2 points ago

I am letting them learn, I'll come back to CS:GO in a couple of months when they've either cleared off or gotten better.

Landing in the middle of a pile of rookies is just annoying after years of 1.6 and CSS with decent players

[–]Zarkx 1 point2 points ago

Play on classic competitive that should solve everything
