My favourite way to play “Shooters” has always been co-op.
I switched my AI coding (Climate modelling, Chess, etc.) to making “bots” for the Quake Engine based games back in the 1990s, just so me and a few friends could have some fun against Artificial Enemies. It really took off.

For an arcade machine project in 1999, I had to invent “Artificial Stupidity”, because my Bots were too good for the players to beat. Playtesters died all the time, so I taught the bots to do things like:
⭐️Go the wrong way.
⭐️Miss valuable pickups.
⭐️Worsen their aim.
⭐️‘Hear’ and ‘see’ less.

Fun experience, teaching them to play like a human. As players progressed through the levels, the bots grew more intelligent, gradually providing more challenge, so players felt they got their money’s worth.

I just remembered that Platypus Reclayed dropped in September! I picked it up on Steam and gave it a go. The updated graphics look amazing and it solved the one major complaint that I had with the original on the PSP - The enemy Bullets are highlighted and no longer look like random debris. I am also glad that the SID tunes seem to be intact. #LinuxGaming #Shooters #Gaming #Steam

@krutonium @nflux not to mention all the #Objective-based #Shooters (i.e. steal a DHD from a plante the Wraith are "Harvesting", Find and catch a Goa'uld for the Tok'rah,...)

  • Basically a lot of #stealth-y stuff where one can do single w/ bots & #coop with friends and where using the least amount if force, staying hidden and getting out without alarms or seen is being rewarded, whilst excessive force isn't rewarded but rather penalized.

Could really be a fun game in between the new #DeusEx titles, #RainbowSixVegas2, #TF2 and #CS2.

Could even do some rotating quests for one's faction (i.e. trade food with some other factions that may need some help) that gets rewarded ingame…

It's really fucking sad because it's not lack of money but u*nwillingness to do anything* with the #Franchise at all. #StarWars does the lazy minimum of milking it with licensees like #LEGO…

Confusion and mismanagement by Akasa Air staff at Pune airport on Tuesday evening left six out of seven young shooters from Maharashtra stranded, forcing them to miss their flight to Goa for the Western Zone Junior (U-18) Shooting Championship. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/news/india/akasa-air-young-shooters-stranded-pune-airport-championship-hopes-at-risk-s7ukfivd?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #AkasaAir #PuneAirport #Shooters #Maharashtra #SportsNews

It seems that shooters are originating less from mentally deranged loners and more from "good families". Intelligent, affluent, thinking people who have worked hard throughout their lives. What does this say about our tolerance of Nazis, fascists, white supremacists, racists and the like? #haters #shooters

Am I hyped? A little. Hopefully #DICE and #EA delivers, but I'll hold judgement until the day comes.
