I really don’t see the problem with AI bots.
Especially for those of us who may not be super good at the game, but enjoy it nonetheless, having some AI bots that are good enough to offer a bit of a challenge but not so good that you get killed over and over.
Heck, there are a ton of old shooters, that could still be enjoyable if not for the lack of players. (BF1 & 4 for example.)
I dunno, by all means give us some decent AI bots. It’s some weird purism to demand a bot free game.

I'd rather be known upfront that bots are in a game for backfill purposes. CoD is being grimy.

Warzone hasn't been updated for Modern Warfare III yet, I'm pretty sure.
That's coming in like a week for season 1

This is literally what this is: Aimbot AI bots that "equalize" the game to punish players and give noob protection. On the other hand of the spectrum, you have AI bots that don't do anything to keep new players engaged and make sure they spend money in micro transaction shops, neither ones offer fair difficulty or are there to balance out the teams, both have nefarious SBMM related purpose. These are NOT the same bots you could spawn in private games in the older games.
I made a whole post about it, read it and watch the videos linked

Ubisoft will not be your COD saviors
The only reason i wish i was younger is so i would be too ignorant of FPS that i'd actually enjoy fortnite, and even then i mean like 25. between covid and the economy night life sucks, makes you want to stay in and play a cartoony free game from timmy ten cent where there's 5 guns one for each type and TTK is insanely high because its designed for slow kids at play.

What is that link supposed to prove? Isn't a company taking extra time to polish the game instead of shitting it out like COD devs do every year a GOOD thing? The devs even said they won't be shoving in a battle royale mode like everyone else is because they would rather focus on the core of the game: arena multiplayer. Imagine that!
Just look at Vanguard, which supposedly only had 8 months of development to finish, and instead of fixing the numerous issues with the game post-launch they took the time to put in stupid shit into the game like that krampus event. By the end of the game's lifecycle the game wasn't even centered around WW2 anymore, and I don't mean the anime skins either they ported over the laser gun from Advanced Warfare and several Black Ops/Ghosts characters via season pass. You can run around with Raul Menendez and a laser gun in that game and that's apparently the intended experience since neither are even part of a bundle

its ubisoft. them delaying it indefinitely means we have a pretty good chance of never seeing the fucking thing again. its been a decade since they announced that Black Flag spinoff.

About XDefiant, best thing an informed player can do is wait and try it for yourself. I don't have many expectations for it.

That's a pretty big reach right there. I hate Ubisoft more than anyone here, guaranteed, but that doesn't mean the game is dead on arrival just because "That's what Ubisoft does", especially with all the communication we are seeing from the XDefiant devs. Game has a bigger chance of launching but being killed by Ubisoft incompetence midway thru it's lifecycle, likely from over-monetization of microtransactions.
Still a better alternative to Call of Duty, which will be shit year after year without any change whatsoever, at least not any positive changes. There is a small chance XDefiant might be good since it's an unknown element with no expectations.

I like it so far, despite the SBMM.

Have you gotten shadowbanned yet? I know the new report system is extremely exploitable, if you do too well people can just mass report you and the game will automatically punish you without letting you know. This usually means putting you in lobbies with other shadowbanned players, that includes actual cheaters, either way you get taken out of the main ecosystem until the system deems you worthy

Not yet but the other day I got in a game where my team got into a consent accident. The top player on the enemy team had more than 120 kills and 2 deaths and was calling killstreaks after killstreaks. Everytime you spawned, you died. I know it was on Shipment but come on, that's not possible.

Knowing Ubisoft, they could sabotage its potential by abandoning it or leaning heavy into the monetization. I have no expectations for it but would love to give it a try when it comes out.
I'm playing World at War MP. It's great when you get a decent connection and play on DLC maps and streak up. However, there's bad hit detection/netcode and buggy movement tech.

P2P connection was the big issue for me in those "old" games. The lag switchers, the game deciding that the guy with the shittiest Internet would be the host, etc.

Often, everybody but YOU would disconnect while the game figures out how to reconnect. I forgot host migration did not exist until MW2.

and then when the host migration has done its job, you're 2 players vs a full team.

Not that I remember. The host would leave, then the next person with the best connection would take over. I don't remember multiple people leaving because of host migration.

Most of the time the host migration didn't work and people don't like to wait 2 minutes for the system to find the right host.

I guess I had better experiences or I don't remember those times.
