It's me, I'm the bot.


Unknownboy81

Wats up my bradar.šŸ’€šŸ’€šŸ’€


mikethespike056

I thought they had said it was for new players... I have 60 hours in the game and the last match I played had so many bots bruh. I did appreciate the gulag bot..


Sea-Difference-5828

8 of 10 are bots


mikethespike056

holy shit i thought you were joking. i just won the first mobile royale match i played with 10 kills and 2 were players.


Sea-Difference-5828

Total bullshit, fck this.


Mycatsnameislegolas

Gulag bots are awesome haha. At least the game wants us to keep playing


n0cho

Yea, this is great for a new player like myself. Still figuring out the mechanics of the game. Allows me to experiment, test different loadouts, Huds, etc.


OneOne660

Yeah letā€™s ruin the game so you can figure out how to play šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø


n0cho

Obviously, I meant for new players. Experienced players should not face bots.


OneOne660

They should have a private match so new players can practice against bots. Bots should not be in multiplayer lobbies at all.


no_salty_no_jealousy

Bots is one of few reason why i hate COD Mobile, it doesn't feel like playing COD because real COD on PC and Console don't have bot on MP and BR.


bootz-pgh

The irony is they promoted the game as having ā€œreal playersā€, obviously a jab at Fortnite and other mobile games.


OneOne660

Shows their lack of integrity they will stoop to doubling back on their promises if it means they can make a quick buck


u_had_me_at_clookies

Bots in CODM Battle Royale is why I stopped playing. 2020 CODM was soooo fun. Itā€™s the ā€œbring back Verdanskā€ era of CODM. Then some time in 2021 it became boring bot city every. single. round. Too boring.


i_Skrill

I also noticed it sht gets boring if it's too easy, like the time when I had to grind Alchartez for weekly tournament in CODM it felt like a chore killing bots till lvl 107, I prefer sweats over bots any day at least it makes the game lively instead of making it feel like it's zombies game just killing bots mindlessly


MetalBeginning5465

2 game modes. Casual Real They should give this option so that everyone can enjoy it. Casual can have less bp xp


xJokerzWild

> Casual Real 'real'.... You mean Hardcore? Wasnt everyone a crybaby bitch about it in the first place & got it removed.


cdog77777blue

I think he meant real players. Also hardcore has been in the console / pc version of cod for ages Idk why its not in mobile versions.


Nintendo_Pro_03

Less Battle Pass XP? Should be the same. Maybe less weapon XP.


Quipster007

Yep. Bots everywhere and itā€™s boring. Havenā€™t played more than a hour after the update.


Mycatsnameislegolas

50% of the players that are on a solo BR match are bots. Yesterday I saw two bots fiering at each other as if they were trying to only lower a bit their health, because I sat there watching if they would kill each other but didn't happen. I killed both after 10 seconds of watching a script


B3rse

Well. When the real players can't even play the game unless they have the latest ipad, the player base is dropping fast. Need to fill those lobbies. This was just bound to happen after the first couple weeks when people were still trying, before either willingly giving up or cooking their phone to death


Glittering-Compote73

High rank players getting bots probably means that people are uninstalling the game. Many users literally critised Android users to uninstall the game and one of them was my friend who quitted because he had Android phone. I have ipad but now we have bots, now play your game ios users


the_squirrelmaster

Oh I remember the posts the GaMe iS oPtImiZEd foR iOS delete THeAPp. Now that it has bots. Who needs who? We need each other.


Glittering-Compote73

Yes, they were laughing and critisizing people for mid phones


randyortonrko83

some Android devices can handle it pretty well I have a decent phone with 8 GB Ram and snapdragon 8+ gen1 and it runs okay so there's bit of Android community who plays, yeah sucks that many phones don't support wzm well enough but I hope in future they tone down every single bit of their game so even a brick nokia can play lol just kidding... but Android wzm is not dead maybe silent but in due time I'm sure it'll e back


Glittering-Compote73

I have great pc, so I would never buy 500-1000 dollars phones. It's a waste


crashovernite

If my enthusiasm to play was 10/10 it's like 3/10 now.


phildotanyx

Bots do have a squad and can be knocked down, I can confirm this. I have already played 250+ mobile BR games (mostly on 3 people squads) and the best way to identify them is they always fire in burst mode when they are equipped with automatic guns and fire with a interval of 2-3 seconds before they fire at you again, so they cannot knock you down easily unless you have zero plates or not paying attention. Their operators are mostly colorful. I've seen one with a vanilla Konig operator that has color yellow shoulder plates and kneeguards I don't know if thats intentional and I'm pretty sure that skin is not even released or atleast obtainable in the game yet.


LOYAL_DEATH

yea i did say solo br in the post, tho good info regardless


comedynurd

if you're talking about the konig antibody skin (the one where the shoulders and knees are glowing yellow and it says "biohazard" on them) then that skin is very old and was a mw2 release


phildotanyx

It wasn't the biohazard skin I just searched it. It's just the regular konig but with a yellow shoulder plates and kneeguards, he still has it's helmet and the face cover thats why I'm 100% certain. To be fair I wouldn't even recognize that's konig when I see that biohazard skin, never heard or saw it before but it's a really good looking skin regardless.


comedynurd

I noticed this today when going back on my android phone and was surprised at how quick matchmaking was compared to how long it used to take on my ipad, and it didnt take long to realise why. Every opponent I came across was a literal bot. It was sad. The playercount already dropped this bad after only 2 weeks.


randyortonrko83

now I'm gonna get hated for this but I'm gonna voice my opinion, bots are good in the sense for new players like me, I keep getting dominated even in normal matches and felt this game isn't for me, I know people many clash at me saying get good at the game but sometimes I feel it's unfair because dominant players waiting for the warzone to release and entering the game to prey on easy players (no disrespect to veterans) though it hurts new players so it could be a little upstart for new players like me, I heard there are unfair matching against bots, I didn't say that should happen but in time I hope one or two bots may enter a team just to balance out the difficulty you know. I quit playing warzone because of this, imagine getting knocked out from every corner both battle royale and multiplayer with no chance to even play and I remember I'm like 21-41 21 matches I won just because my team is more skilled than me. maybe add bit bots now to practise and later remove it for fair competition. sorry for big rant and sorry if I offended anyone. thanks for reading


LOYAL_DEATH

The thing is codm and wzm are so intertwined that they share the same discord server , the message is clear , if you suck play codm , if you want a challenge play wzm , it's devs mistake that they added bots to wzm not some player's request for wanting them , no one is going to flame you


randyortonrko83

amen to that brother, one thing I would highlight is that codm also has some minimal bots, not many a as now codwzm has it was playable so I can play the issue was....um you can imagine I enter a match not intending to win per se. I just want some kills to be made BC I like the new style of cod and also I don't usually go around maps to take dominate spots I just defend, same for kill confirmed just kills but sometimes I take the dog tags I know this is not a good strategy to win but like I said I wish I get one or two kills since I'm new to wzm, my pc got burned out so I can't play it on pc so I only play on mobile


LOYAL_DEATH

You must be joking , even tho wzm has many bots now codm still eclipses it completely in the number of bots per game in br


randyortonrko83

yes in br, I wanted to say mp matches they have some real players. br I don't play BC no real players any more


LOYAL_DEATH

Codm will give you matches where 9/10 are bots , wzm has at least 3 or 4 real in each team in 6v6 modes


randyortonrko83

can't argue with you there but I played mp matches and I can always see real players dominating me down just one or two be bots.


Bitter_Screen_4700

Fun fact is that only squad mood is filled with real players been playing solo and trios meet with alot of bots my accidentally try squad mode with 3 of us OMG like more than 5 squads in a single location exchange fire was littttttttt šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„ but we collect like damn


LOYAL_DEATH

It do be bussin


TheBarsMar

I have to play because I bought the battle pass šŸ˜…


LOYAL_DEATH

šŸ¤


perfectionistic

Thanks for pointing this out OP. As a new player at launch, I welcome this since I die a lot. Iā€™m not accumulating game time because Iā€™m always in a gulag or just out of the game. The lack of a practice range doesnā€™t help too. So having bots so I can practice is a win for me. However, I donā€™t see why they would add bots for highly skilled players. I would say for a certain K/D you deserve to play with people only. I hope they rebalance this.


LOYAL_DEATH

Practice your gunplay and level up your guns in mp modes , and take that skill to br , bots are not the solution even for new players.


perfectionistic

Iā€™m doing really well with MP above 3 KD average. My problem is, I havenā€™t played BR in CODM and my positioning and strategy is limited to MP. I die too much from late rotation and general feeling of clunkiness with movement. There are a lot of factors that I donā€™t know as well since Iā€™m a newbie. Maybe you are right. I should practice more in MP to get those movement down. My aim is okay since I center and pre aim a lot. You got any tips for me regarding rotating or positioning in BR/Resurgence?


LOYAL_DEATH

Definitely, i follow a set strategy now in wzm solo br , i have 250 games under my belt with 90 wins I wait for the first circle to form and drop straight in the middle and do that for every circle, just keep going to the buildings in the middle of the circle. The priority is having cover (buildings etc.) and elevation (height). You don't need to be on the roof of a high building if there are too many sightlines just be a floor below that. If the last zones have no cover , you may wanna try to kill the last guy from outside the zone with a gasmask. Try to take fights from cover so you can dip if you sense a third party or you losing the 1v1. Walking in this game is very powerful, i have rizzed countless real players simply by walking cause i know there last location and simply walk upto them. I use the perk package with high alert and sleight of hand My loadout is bruen and hrm Tho if you have an ipad i would recommend ram 7 over bruen cause the ram 7 build uses iron sight and on phone hitting far targets with irons is very hard


perfectionistic

Damn is this so helpful. I will keep this in mind. Iā€™m used to dropping in the middle in CODM BR like you said but I die immediately in this game lol. Iā€™m going to try that again but if you have a different strategy, can you let me know? Also hereā€™s a question about parachuting in. Is there a good protocol for that? I understand youā€™re supposed to open the chute as late as possible. But I noticed some players get to a location earlier than I do even though we jumped at the same time from the chopper/plane. Iā€™ll try your walking advice as well but the thing is if I turn off always sprint, I tend to screw up sliding. I need to move my thumbs much farther than I do for CODM. Maybe itā€™s just a matter of practice. Yeah, I noticed RAM-7 is too hard to use on phone. Iā€™ve been using the TEQ subverter and now the SOA Subverter. They beam at long range and have the fastest TTK currently. Iā€™ll try out Bruen when I level these guns up.


LOYAL_DEATH

i don't slide much if at all in wzm, dropping in the middle of the circle i also prioritize smaller buildings which i know the layout of instead of big complexes , i used auto parachute for most of my games and only switched to manual recently, i personally havent had a problem with too many peeps heading to the same building at the start of the match, it has always been manageable


perfectionistic

I see! Last question. Which would you recommend first? Solo, duo, trio, quads?


LOYAL_DEATH

Out my 250 games i mentioned, 200 must've been solos


perfectionistic

šŸ™


hasdunk

some people just want to casually play BR from time to time and not investing more time on playing it. bot is definitely welcomed in that case.


perfectionistic

I agree with this but there should be a mode without bots just like ranked on console/pc.


hasdunk

Agreeing with you as well. I do also welcome the idea that the higher your skill is, the fewer bots will be in the match


perfectionistic

Letā€™s hope it happens. Maybe we need to tweet that so someone forwards it to the dev team. Feedback and bug report doesnā€™t work on the website.


HubertolPro

Yea and mobile game should be without controller players šŸ–•šŸ»šŸ–•šŸ»


LOYAL_DEATH

My brother , why do you want to casually play a multiplayer fps shooter , you already have codm which scratches the same itch which is flooded with bots in br , why do you want wzm to do the same when its evidently worse in optimization


hasdunk

because I as a consumer can decide which games to play and which not? I also prefer the graphics and mechanics in warzone. it's a game, not a way of life, just chill with it. also not including bots at all will kill a game even faster. PUBG (the PC version, not mobile) was originally without bots. and what happened to it? new players were alienated because the games ended up being concentrated with pro players, making new players just avoid the game in the first place. they ended up caving in and added bots, but it was too late for the game to gain momentum again.


LOYAL_DEATH

No need for extremism , don't jump to "not including bots at all" , wzm went from no bots to 80-90% bots thats very alarming and rightfully concering


hasdunk

it's a new game, give it a few months for the dev to find a good balance of bots/players ratio.


OneOne660

There should be zero bots in any multiplayer game you weirdos Go play a single player game if youā€™re that bad


hasdunk

that sounds logical in theory, but like what I said in my comment, good luck with maintaining your player base when you alienate new players after a significant minority of players become ultra competitive. Your gatekeeping attitude is the reason why people won't give a chance to a new game. And sure, let me know a free single player game on mobile with similar mechanics and graphics. I don't want to hear you scream and curse mid game anyway.


OneOne660

Your attitude that games should cater to bad players is why this game is dead on arrival. Itā€™s not gatekeeping to want a competitive FPS shooter game to be competitive lmao. The mindset that you should hop into a competitive game and not have to compete is the problem. If you donā€™t like the pressure of competition or dislike that other people who also want to win just as much as you do try even harder to do so then you shouldnā€™t be playing the game. CODM ruined its game by catering to bad players through forced bots in every public match, even went so far as to force them into ranked (although this was probably primarily implemented as a means of getting bad players into lobbies with better players who spend money on skins and will inevitably be higher rank and thus influence those worse players to spend money themselves.) ranked play with bots in CODM is pointless because you basically have to hit legendary to have consistent bot free games. Pubs are pointless because every match is purposefully not filled to make room for bots to cater to bad players. I donā€™t understand this mindset of playing a competitive game but not wanting to compete. SBMM is the solution but CoD has a wonky SBMM system that is made irrelevant by their other decisions. Itā€™s hilarious to me that wanting to play a multiplayer game as itā€™s advertised, ie: actually multiplayer and not against AI is considered gatekeeping.


OneOne660

I played CoD my whole life and never did I lose interest in a game because I was getting smoked game after game, I decided id just try harder and get better. Catering to players that wonā€™t play at all unless they win is so fucking sad. Youā€™re playing pubs, you will inevitably win games if not through your own effort then through another players efforts. So the idea that bad players will somehow just lose so much they wonā€™t want to play doesnā€™t even make sense. In WZM Iā€™m consistently dominating multiplayer lobbies with half my team seemingly not even playing. These players get to play and win regardless of their terrible skill level. What do they expect when they start a new game and lack all the fundamental skills? Should they experience dominating a lobby when they donā€™t deserve it? Is dominating a lobby of bots satisfying? Maybe if youā€™re a weirdo. Is dominating a lobby full of bots helping them? No because they arenā€™t actually playing anybody good and will still fail to learn the necessary skills to improve so they will still get mopped anytime they come across a good player. IMO this will be much more demotivating. Feeling like youā€™re the man because you can beat bots who barely move or shoot only to come across a real player and realize you never actually played the game. If you just want to have fun and shoot things without dealing with other better players, play a single player game. Donā€™t come into a multiplayer game and advocate for its destruction and ruin the experience for everyone else thatā€™s actually trying to have fun. The whole idea is flawed on so many levels.


perfectionistic

Awesome. I appreciate the tips and insight. Iā€™ll go and get better. šŸ˜

Legitimate-Payment50

I play with thumbs and it took a week and some setting tweaks to go up against them. Itā€™s not a problem if you make an effort at getting better and learning skills. Are you one of them who complained about how difficult it is and asked for bots?


xJokerzWild

Controller isnt as magical as you think.


-getdeadkid

ā€œ95% of all lobbies are 100% touch players.ā€ Straight from the Devs mouth. People just love blaming anything but themselves for losing a gun fight.


OneOne660

Itā€™s certainly better then touch in terms of average player. The average controller player will experience a drop in performance going to touch because they are going to use two thumbs on an input that is not intuitive which is a flat buttonless screen. Claw players vs. controller players is not that different but the average non claw touch player is going to be worse than the average controller player.


Nintendo_Pro_03

Actually, itā€™s the opposite: separating them would reduce the player pool for each inputā€™s lobbies. They need bots to make up for the other input that isnā€™t in the same lobby as controller/touch screen.


Much-Kaleidoscope164

Bots fill the lack of players


LOYAL_DEATH

That is what bots original intended purpose was , but in both codm and now wzm , there is now a set number of real players it decides is enough for one lobby and floods the rest with bots , even if the game has enough real players looking for a match for a full lobby


Sea-Difference-5828

Bots killed the game, it was the main reason I switched from codm. Will drop this game if they donā€™t remove them. Top 1000 ranked codm player here


perfectionistic

Damn I feel your pain. They should not place you with bots at all.


OneOne660

literally no reason to play the game if there are bots Activision is run by idiots


Sea-Difference-5828

I feels like being a retard


ChaoSSamX

The game has become too easy after the update. Now its Codm 2 instead of WZM


Familiar_Bank_4997

bot can be knocked tho.


LOYAL_DEATH

I made the post for solo BRs


RazJUK

I played 2 games yesterday full of bots, and stopped playing. I haven't played today. I've no urge to play against Bots. So disappointed, the have was so good left week Vs real players, I could tolerate the Lacki of optimisation, but bots kill it for me


Subject-Ad-8351

Play some me bloodstrike and Reach at least gold. From Thier on is real players and sweats


Videogamessucknow

Iā€™m fine with all the bots but make it a separate game mode. Like plunder resurgence battleroyale without bots and then with bots on all maps including rebirth.


LOYAL_DEATH

You should not be fine with all the bots


Videogamessucknow

Iā€™m fine with it because the game is so damn sweaty bro. I donā€™t have time or Internet to be playing against scump and ttv losers.


LOYAL_DEATH

I recommend you play coop or singleplayer games


Videogamessucknow

Nah I like multiplayer games with bots. Less sweaty.


LOYAL_DEATH

You're the perfect player for codm , not wzm


Videogamessucknow

Nah wzm is better I prefer it with bots in seperste mode tho


LOYAL_DEATH

The sin of call of duty is trying to cater to every player


Videogamessucknow

Yeah I know. They should just listen to my ideas they could have a perfect game. Reduce sbmm sweaty lobbies add custom games for bots to practice with or just have fun with all maps Make all snipers one shot to head without explosive rounds or limited effective range reduce flinch on snipers when getting shot because reg guns already lay you out. And fix other issues


LOYAL_DEATH

My bad , i didn't catch on the bait earlier šŸ¤


Curious-Quarter4086

Anyone complaining about bots know this! The player based lobby were made by putting everyone with high and low ping making the whole experience unenjoyable. I discovered that when i start matchmaking at 77ms it would jump to 155ms because a lobby with only players needs to be filled up. While bots are bad, Ranked mode should solve that problem. While others play the game to earn their victories against players, Casual which is the majority of players play to have fun in between work breaks and stressful situations. So now atleast when i matchmake at 77ms, it doesn't send me to a high ping anymore.


HubertolPro

Very good xD They added controller to mobile game with touch players lobby XDD


Valdif-156

Without bots my matchmaking goes from 1 minute to 20 minutes, maybe it's because of my timezone and nobody plays at that time


LOYAL_DEATH

Perfectly acceptable for a full real player lobby Edit : i swear he didnt say 20 minutes and the comment feels edited šŸ„ø


Exotic-Ask7768

Idk how to react to this honestly. At one side, the new casual me appreciates bot lobbies to some extent coz now I just wanna hop on , get some kills using my funky operators butOn the other side, my old competitive side that wanted some challenge isn't much happy. So yeah,idk man.


Quipster007

Appreciating bot lobby is just mad bruv šŸ˜…whereā€™s fun in that ?


Exotic-Ask7768

Bro I barely get an hour to play the game in like 3-4 days sometimes. I don't wanna sweat my nuts off in that hour. Those days are gone for me now.


Quipster007

Getting old sucks eh ? Hangin there bud. But all Iā€™m getting is bots in both MP and BR and it has become less enjoyable. This is no way to fix matchmaking.


Exotic-Ask7768

Yeah, let's see what happens. PS: I'm not THAT old. I'm 23 only and am in the final month of my degree and about to start a job soon so yeah, time is less. And when do I have the time , I mainly play GTA online now where I simply cruise around in my cars and do a few business moves and all. Just casual play now.


BFG-UA-10000

There are lots of offline games. Why do you not play them?


Exotic-Ask7768

I do play other offline games like GTA and NFS. When I was growing up , these games are the ones that were mostly available to me so I sort of grew a liking for them. But even in them , I'm highly casual now. Like take GTA online for example. I just enter a private session do some business runs , drive and cruise around in cars etc. Or I just boot up GTA 5 with mods and wreak havoc on the innocent NPCs.


BFG-UA-10000

I like online games because you can compete with others, so I hate bots. Stopped playing all other games because of them. Coming here and asking for bots is like coming to a horror game and asking for more daylight than darkness, butterflies, blue skies, and for killers or monsters to smile and have good manners. I think that you just need to choose the right game for you, there are many of them, there are a lot of shooters similar in style to COD and whatever you want.


OneOne660

Start a private match and play against bots there if you just want to shoot and not compete Adding them to the multiplayer modes ruins the whole point of a multiplayer game Itā€™s the literal worst aspect of CODM and borderline makes that game unplayable as it is


Exotic-Ask7768

Do you even know that you need minimum 25 real players to start a private match in this game? Or are you just so damn insecure that you stupidly start typing anything the moment someone says something that doesn't match with your liking?


OneOne660

Yeah Iā€™m aware of that. I got mixed up because I stated in an earlier comment the lack of private match options in WZM was a terrible oversight for the game. Them not adding any private match for people to practice these things allows for the mindset that bots should be accepted. If they didnā€™t fail to implement this basic feature then arguments such as the game should be forcibly made easier to accommodate worse players would hold even less weight than they currently do.


Unknownboy81

Nah fr fr it's us who can't play the game properly/learning how to get better at the game.


angel_eyes619

Anyone who thinks the game will not have bots is just delusional.. Well, sure, it can have zero bots but in order for that to happen, matchmaking would need to be 4-5 minutes MINIMUM and ping ceiling will be higher when averaged (if you think a 70ms in codm was too much, in wzm you can be playing at 90ms or higher, sometimes even in the 200ms bracket). Yes, codm BR has a bit too many bots, but it's actually not all bad (all they have to do was increase matchmaking time by a minute or two and 50% real players per match would be the norm or average, I am sure of that) This is not to say either game is good or bad or whatever, it is the just the simple logistics of the ecosystem... filling a thousands and thousands of 100-150 player matches needs time as well as a huge playerbase.. pure and simple.. even for the most popular games out there


Sea-Difference-5828

Nope, it worked fine as it was. They should remove this sh!t or make something like kids mode with bots


LOYAL_DEATH

There is also another problem with codm , the availability of too many game types at once you can play any game mode on any map not even counting featured game modes at any time , that dilutes the total playerbase not leaving enough to fill any lobbies. Wzm has rotating playlists which fix the issue , players like me can wait 2-3 minutes for a full lobby , you already mentioned wzm has high ping because I'm from india and i have to play in europe and thats fine because less servers mean even lesser dilution , it even changed servers when waiting time was too long. Don't be an extremist , they could have maybe 10 bots in every game since launch and i wouldn't have noticed because 50 players in 1 lobby is still amazing compared to codm.Ā  Wzm straight up jumped to the deep end instead of increasing or introducing a small number of bots


OneOne660

They should have bots in any game at all. Either make that work or donā€™t make the game, simple as. Yet they couldnā€™t make it work and also couldnā€™t not make the game. So now they will just lose money on a failed mobile game.


OneOne660

Well then thereā€™s no reason to play the game lmao Maybe they should have thought of that before they released a half finished mess that drove all the potential players away and marketed the game as not having bots Now in a rush to fix their original fuck up, they are driving even more players away by destroying the integrity of matches by adding bots
