    How to Improve the AI Without Needing a PhD in Artificial Intelligence

    Posted: 13 Dec 2019 03:34 PM PST

    This game needs improved enemy AI in a bad, bad way. Enemies will routinely bum-rush the player at all times, suiciding repeatedly into the same doorway or staircase. This isn't a "tactical" experience- this is taking candy from retarded children over and over.

    The enemy AI is so bad, that even exercising the most rudimentary tactics feels utterly exploitative as the enemy runs into your gun over and over, piling up into a mound of corpses on exactly the same spot. This must be fixed.

    However, artificial intelligence is a very difficult and complex field, and although making enemy AI actually intelligent would be outstanding, I do not think that is reasonable to expect for this game. Ubisoft, historically, takes the shortest possible route, the quickest possible band-aid fix, even to the point of creating more problems than it solves. This is mission-critical to make the AI enemies threatening, and there is no chance they will invest the time and money in genuinely smart enemies.

    So instead of a robust, intelligent enemy AI, it is important to devise an enemy AI system that accomplishes the goals of Breakpoint, yet does not require genuine tactical intelligence.

    To that end, I propose the following:

    ​

    Powerful Reinforcements

    The first element of greatly increasing the enemy AI difficulty and tactical intelligence is to make the enemy actually dangerous. There are many possible ways to do this. However, it is totally inappropriate in Ghost Recon to do this with increased HP pools. Instead this must be done by adding more enemies, and by making those enemies more intelligent and effective in battle.

    When the enemy calls for reinforcements, this should be an actual threat to the player, regardless of how skilled the player(s) are. Currently reinforcements are laughably pitiful. Three men in a vehicle, or a single helicopter, can all be taken down in under two seconds with less than one magazine. The reinforcements change nothing about the tactical situation.

    What should be happening is that the reinforcements will keep coming until the player is dead. Time pressure and the weight of numbers will eventually mean the players are defeated.

    Large numbers of reinforcements of increasingly dangerous enemy types, on a recurring basis, until eventually the player loses.

    ​

    Defensive AI Design

    Once the incoming reinforcements are appropriately an existential threat to the player, the entire attitude and posture of the enemy AI can be changed to make it far more effective, and much simpler. Specifically, in a gunfight it is always moving that gets you killed, especially attacking. Enemies in Breakpoint have zero appreciation for this fact- they will happily charge mindlessly over and over, one at a time, even if every single one of them dies.

    The player should have an objective inside the base that they want, and the AI only needs to defend the base. This is key- the AI would be much smarter and better served by being defensive and waiting for reinforcements, than always have every enemy trying to be a hero and kill the player personally. The laughable and oft-posted meme of a pile of corpses in the same doorway should be a sign that the aggressive AI is not working.

    Many players are asking for intelligent assault behaviors, like throwing grenades and clearing rooms. This would be awesome, but assaulting is hard and complex, requiring group coordination and a lot of hard decision-making where a mistake equals death. It is very unlikely Ubisoft will be able to effectively implement intelligent assault behaviors. However, intelligent defensive behaviors, are very direct and simple by comparison.

    Enemies should be much more conservative. They should identify a good spot with cover and mostly stay there. This may require greatly increasing the enemies' threat range and field of fire, so they can reach out further from their defensive position. Engagements with guns happen at a distance- there is absolutely no reason for every enemy to charge mindlessly forward to get killed in the open, or charge in to get killed in a doorway. This behavior is particularly important for Riflemen troops and LMG-equipped troops, where a spot with cover and a good field of fire is tremendously more valuable than trying to close to range and kill the player right away.

    The central point is this- the base garrison doesn't need to run forward and kill you, they just need to keep you away from your objective long enough for massive reinforcements to arrive.

    ​

    Wolves & Sentinel

    These two types of enemies are too similar, both in overall design, and in AI. The Sentinel are regulars, tasked with defending outposts and sentry duty, and should behave defensively to increase their effectiveness and simplifying the needs of their AI. Wolves, on the other hand, are supposed to be an aggressive, hunting force that is actually trying to hunt you down.

    ​

    Wolves are supposed to be "hunting" the player. Consequently Wolves should have major behavior differences compared to the Santa Blanca / Sentinel type regular enemies. In my opinion the best solution for this is to have Wolves resemble Unidad, engaging a protracted "Hunt" similar to the Unidad patrol level, which is aggressive, unlike the more defensive AI that will be assigned to Sentinel enemies. More information about this idea.

    This is a game mechanic that is standing in for making a genuinely intelligent aggressive AI. Increasing the patrol level when you kill Wolves discourages the player from engaging in a protracted battle, even if the AI is too weak to win such a battle in a fair fight.

    Importantly, this also opens up the possibility of Wolves arriving via base reinforcements, and kicking off a hunt where the Wolves are hunting for the player cross-country.

    Should I get Breakpoint

    Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:02 PM PST

    I want to play a tactical shooter and was thinking about picking this game up but I really hate the Idea of " the island is controlled by an army of drones" like I've seen from Arkham Knight. Is it super prevalent through out the game or completely avoidable ?

    Why play the regular game when all good loot is in Raid ?

    Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:15 PM PST

    Raid Island has all the challenging enemies and high level loot. As someone who only has a few hours to play the game every week, I see no reason to play the regular game anymore. The faction missions and rewards are meh. I often zone out during conversations with NPCs. In Wildlands I used to replay the campaign mission a lot even though there were no rewards ! But in this game, I don't want to touch the campaign mission ever again.

    I hope the management learns from this and make a wildlands 2.0 for the next game.
