In my experience some bots did take a lot of cover. Some even moved from cover to cover. Or I would hit one with a battle rifle and it would run to cover.
Their behavior should have a bit more of decision making instead of just plainly rushing into the objective. Maybe give them a bit more of a cheat, like knowing there are enemies nearby making them move more cautious, but not making them see through walls.
I’d say give them some basic team AI similar to ARMA where they’ll move cohesively and maybe even implement some basic team tactics like bounding overwatch and flanking.

@@xzraiderzx308 Game development speak. TF AI used pre-made animations that look the same every time. MWII uses IK rigging to mesh the animations together in a more seamless way. Basically, TF tells the engine to perform [X] animation at [Y] time, whereas MWII is the engine combining many animations and executing them procedurally.
@@faceripper77 Yes and no. I say it depends on the depth. TF2 utilized their animations effectively and that MP experience still feels very fluid. Here, you can see some instances where the AI looks dope-y because it's constantly repositioning itself but that's partially the pathfinding. The main contrast I'd say is that Titanfall characters basically have to commit to completing the animation so often if you catch them running there will be a slight delay before they engage you, MWII AI immedatiately engage. The difference isn't really too different in the end result however as both serve slightly different purposes. The AI in Titanfall are meant to be expendable and easily killable grunts so you can often kill them and feel like a badass pilot, but here in CoD these are meant to be trained soldiers that pose an actual threat and can do some damage.
@@spartacussmith7070 oh lol, didn’t realize that’s what he was referencing. Yeah the animations for the AI feel very fluid like if it was an actual player, aside from the janky pathfinding like you mentioned.

Reminds me of cod 1 or 2 single player campaigns. Where there's always AI teammates around and It actually makes you feel like you're apart of a platoon. The campaigns nowadays tend to make you feel like a one man Army

Didn't get in on the Beta? Invasion's idea is solid, but the execution is just 20+ enemy players with high-powered rifles 1 shotting you from 400+ metres the moment you try to move anywhere out of your base. The Ai falls apart the moment they start wigging out and it usually just ends with them all standing around doing nothing, or making decisions that make no sense.
@@neymardasilvasantosjunior7347 I've been playing a lot of ground war and, frankly, it's COD. It feels kinda old school MW2 with all the snipers back at it and the game play is very fast paced. For a COD I think it's good, but naturally still feels designed to piss you off. The way they spawn you in the middle of a road or 500 feet from the obj in an empty field or quite literally directly in front of an enemy. After literally 20+ years of game design you'd think they would have better spawn algos which makes me think it's literally designed to make people mad. I really like the new weapon system but I think the balancing could use work, naturally. Super tough to balance a new system like that with all the possible combos. The campaign I got through was sick. I never played mw1 (2019) but still really enjoyed the campaign until it glitched at the sniper mission and wouldn't let me continue. Haven't gone back yet. But I really liked the slower, more tactical campaign (as someone who would always ignore cod campaigns) All in all, it's another cod game with some cool changes but it's cod plain and simple. Imo, you play one you play em all. I usually don't buy them, and I don't think this one is worth $70, but I don't regret buying it and still do play it.
reminds me of the air from the titanfall games where they’d interact with each other with so many cool animations it really made the matches feel alive. glad more games are doing this because private lobbies aren’t going to feel so dead
AI honestly enhance so many MP games man especially if they interact with the environment cause with Titanfall they were fairly smart man they could be a challenge sometimes
I was hesitant to play Invasion at first because I really didn't enjoy Ground War at all. This is probably the most fun I've had playing a shooter for a while now. The G3 really shines in this game mode and I'm all for it. Needless to say I'll be putting countless hours into this game mode once the game drops.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the amount of time and money NPC Universe takes and spends to not only buy these expensive games, but capture amazing and high quality shots in the heat of battle that look like they're taken straight out of a movie. Keep up the amazing work man!
I love how they look sometimes like they are in a cutscene from the way they move around interacting with eachother and the scene where they drop from helicopter with smoke grenades is so cool
They weren't kidding when the AI improved although I find it interesting the devs have the AI to kill each other quite easily and with roaming players it takes a moment to finally finish the player
Of course it's so they players have a good time playing the game but if they raise the difficulty and apply this in special ops clearing rooms or protecting rooms will be a good challenge
The AI makes me very excited for the campaign and spec ops, hopefully they can be made more difficult to fight because the way they move around is pretty nice
it seems to be a bug that happens from time to time, where their AI suddenly stops working and just stand still. Mostly happens when they're on rooftops, likely because their pathing gets confused when they stand on top of multi storey buildings.
Infinity Ward at least nails it in the animations department, and the modelling These soldiers look so much cooler than just a plain default guy Stuff like this is always fun to watch I can't wait to play MWII's campaign on the 20th will be so sick
Multiplayer modes with AI are so fun! It’s a big part of what makes games like Titanfall 2 so great, honestly. When the mechanics and immersion all tie in with good AI it creates an awesome atmosphere and experience. Can’t wait to play this mode!
Watching this makes me feel like I'm playing the OG modern warfare series campaign. Seeing the AI in this gives me the vibes I had there. Watching each teammate run to cover, shooting over edges, rather than run middle field and sit there shooting. The new AI really makes you feel like you're back in the campaign, while online.
You say that like it's a good thing. Call of duty AI has always been extremely lackluster and the moment you realize what they're Actually doing in the campaign you realize the entire thing is just an illusion. Call of duty campaigns are like movies it's all about the environments and everyone's actions are scripted. They're cool, but again once you see the illusion there's no unseeing it. Plenty of games do dynamic and intelligent AI quite well I don't know why call of duty seems to struggle with it so badly even to this day. This video is full of countless moments where they just do really weird and illusion breaking stuff. My guess, the AI is once again just an afterthought.
@@bestieswithtesties AI teamwork in almost any game is just an illusion. Look at F.E.A.R, for example- the AI communicates, plans and executes strategies against the player, but it's all just one big illusion to make you think that they are working with each other. In reality, nothing like that is happening, and they don't even know that the others are there, just that they have to deal with the "problem," that being the player.
This almost reminds me of Insurgency's co-op mode but with actual AI rather than bots. Hell, some people have speculated that MW 2022 was slightly inspired by Insurgency. Not entirely sure about that though.
Bro even mw19 was inspired by insurgency, those two cod took some inspiration by is, two iw animator made a lot of mod for insurgency 2014 and worked at nwi for is 2018
The sound design definitely reminds me of insurgency on many guns and killstreaks. I'm personally enjoying the slower tactical gameplay. Also this Invasion mode is basically attrition from titanfall and I am here for it
I've always wanted to see something like this in a game how they can make the ai more animated and expressive than a player character to increase immersion
I love how similar to Titanfall’s Attrition gamemode, the AI first spawn with weak load outs and armor and then progressively become stronger as the match progresses.
My theory on the AI wearing RATNIK russian gear is that they are most likely AL-QATALA or Al-Assad soldiers with captured russian gear from when they invaded russian cities at the end of MW 2019
the way the dude looks at the player before he started crawling made it seem like the AI was genuinely scared of getting blasted. And the player getting closer to shoot him at point blank was the cherry on top lol.
In terms of decision making and animation this AI is groundbreaking. Theres so much variety in how they can fall over or peak cover, it looks really good.
Funny thing is, a lot of these behaviours can be found all the way back in Cod4, mainly ones like realistically taking cover, tripping when hitting stuff or when bullets are flying near them, crawling when being in critical health (sometimes pulling out a pistol for a last stand) and including the AI executing another AI with a cool CQC animation. Tho ye, animation quality and their path finding seems to be improved significantly, but alot of the behaviour themselves are certainly nothing new.
@@matthewjones39 like most people they tend to notice the spectacle more than the actual content, if something does something but looks good doing it, it’s groundbreaking, despite that thing already being done before and far better.
That is very impressive tbh. Specially the way the take cover and shoot from cover. And that one AI clearing a building looking for the enemy player looked very good .
Other than their time between actions/lack of haste, lack of movement while shooting, lack of supressive fire, and their use of cover this seems pretty impressive. This is definitely the best A.I I've seen in a bit.
@@blaizelewis902 he's saying the ai didn't impress him. I tend to agree - looks cool but same time looks pretty dumb at times lol. like at 1:02 when that squad committed suicide
Yeah, to be honest I was once spending 1 hour straight in COD Ghosts only to know the comparison of these AI's behavior from one difficulty to another 😅 But nevermind, your video really made my day man. Thanks for this upload 😎 👍
Coming from the perspective of someone who worked with the game capture artists on the COD and Overwatch franchises, you absolutely have a career in game capture ahead of you.
I love the fact that they can kind of save each other from bleeding out when they sometimes go down This also teminds me a lot of the first titanfalls grunts
The factions here is kinda confusing. There's a faction that wore a proper military uniform with jungle camo, but with Al-Qatala logo on the helmet. There's look to be arms men's running around with little military gear, which could be that they're probably Farah loyal Militia's/Freedom Fighters (idk). And then, there's of course 141 Operators on the battlefield. So far, no Russians
Kortac milsims do have a strong russian accent,but according to that we saw in the video (Al-quatala fighting alongside Kortac operators) i think this faction has connection with Makarov
@@zaicanna96 it could be we could see russian operators coming back from last MW Ninkto was leaked so maybe there are russian Operators with false callsign to make it look like they are false flag
I've always loved COD's AI. They're so animated and expressive even though their actual intelligence in COD4/MW2 was fairly rudimentary. It seems like they've managed to keep all that here.
The way they interact with each other in the older games like shouting their names is really impressive cause the ai got generated names and for some reason they can detect the names correctly
I swear the AI are either breaching and taking out entire rooms of real players or they're standing in the middle of the street screaming at the top of their lungs. I love em. Hopefully they can work out the bugs because I loved the Grunts in Titanfall. Hope they add some voice lines to them too. Tf2's Grunts had so much personality. "Enemy pilot down, can't wait to tell my ex-wife!"
the advanced AI looked pretty good in the breakdown the devs did and how they made them feel like people not players but people and with this being just a beta im pretty sure it will be even better than what i’m seeing right now
AI definitely added an interesting option when I want to play alone peacefully. I found myself improved a lot at aiming and tactics. Besides AI does act like real player, they often make intelligent moves with squad coordinations
7:04 they really need to work on the AIs positioning so situations like this don’t happen. Also the bots movement still feels too stiff, like they’re locked in and have to finish the action/ task they’re currently on instead of being allowed to just move fluently. Overall I like it but there’s definitely room for improvement.
2:56 Honestly people will talk on how "these bots do nothing for the game", but shit like this brings me back with how the AI handled shit in METAL GEAR. and it's kinda fun to watch, makes the game realistic but also takes it the fuck away hahahah love it.
I was just thinking about it. MgsV AI are the best when idling and looking for clues or people, animations are on point and they behave in a believable way. GR Wildlands AI aggressiveness and tactics too are really good. just think about if they give them more personality like Titanfall 2 grunts and gave them faction related weapons and there you go, you have the best AI experience you can have for offline players enjoyers. maybe give them the possibility to use vehicles better too. idk, they have a proper sandbox in their hands, I hope they'll do the right thing with them.
Up the stairs they move slowly as a team. Like we se in MW campaign. Awesome just to watch as they piled up ready to attack the enemy juggernaut in a building
@@faceripper77 That's best example you could find? He doesn't even slide off the wall, his head just gets pulled down to the floor. No big deal at the end of the day, we're just pointing out that it could be better. It's definetly doable.
Actually pretty impressive. Great pathfinding and surprisingly fluid animation transitions. I've always loved playing offline tdm with bots and creating custom modes that make things feel more tactical (restricted loadouts, hardcore, long respawn times, etc), but the rudimentary ai always broke immersion. Seems like it may actually be able to border on tactical shooter territory now.
The only real complaint I have is that the AI doesn't utilise or proritise cover as much as it maybe should. Other than that, I'm really quite impressed!
its so satisfying watching npcs react to their environment whether its getting shot, reacting to a grenade, blindfiring, reacting to someone dying, or even running from a tougher enemy.
I’m hoping to see some drag their injured to cover. Or maybe even drag you to cover too, that would be nice. In any case, this will be improved further and I’m very excited.
imagine AIs setting up positions(like setting up sniper positions, moving strategically heading towards marker points made by players on maps, having different AIs with certain jobs. But I feel like it would be too much and over work the AIs but idk, it would seem cool tho
They could easily set predetermined Ai paths for certain maps. Like have 2 mg ai squads each team and 2 sniper duos each team that have predetermined points of interest to get to on every map. It could make it easier to set up more fluid ai movement. Like destined ai zones where there’s hardcore ai with predetermined positions to take up and have an area where mostly players end up.
I like how they seem to use some combination of full 360 movement and more cover-based system, it seems like the best of both worlds. They seem to be actually checking their angles and anticipating attacks, and generally having a bit more self-preservation than the typical shooting gallery AI we'd expect from less capable hands than Infinity Ward's.
AI is good! Obviously it's probably not going to look like this forever and will be tweaked over time but hopefully it gets better main complaints are that they're a little slow in movement, like they might stand around for a few seconds giving someone an extremely easy shot on them, and also that they don't wait for other soldiers to get in vehicles when one takes control, because every time you see a car rushing down the road, there's only the driver and sadly no gunner. Also, they do get stuck on each other sometimes/run into one another which isn't very good because they just kind of stop for a second.
im guessing these are turned down for this mode, im betting in dmz or the high loot areas in warzone they will turn that dial way up and they will be nutty
Invasion is probably the most fun I’ve had in CoD in a long time! Fantastic game mode focused on having fun and not competitive play. Sure you can still be competitive when you find another player but just pure fun chaos in between. Just hope they support it more and we get a lot more maps for it. I don’t want it to end up like ground war in mw19 with a whopping 4 maps lol
Dude some of these AI are really good, If you are outnumbered, sneaked up or get flanked by them, then you're screwed which they will deliberately attempt to

All I could think of when watching this was Titanfall 2 grunts lol
This is all I've ever wanted from a call of duty game. Just a huge sandbox to fuck around with AI in. I cannot wait to play this, man.
This and COD 3rd person
so u just wanted campaign?
play battlefield
@@connecting.......... Yes
Didn't get in on the Beta?
Invasion's idea is solid, but the execution is just 20+ enemy players with high-powered rifles 1 shotting you from 400+ metres the moment you try to move anywhere out of your base. The Ai falls apart the moment they start wigging out and it usually just ends with them all standing around doing nothing, or making decisions that make no sense.
if you think about some of the scenes in the older COD games' campaigns, having AI do ambient stuff can really be nice.
This was so cool in the Beta and honestly im actually excited for a cod game again, which I never thought id say.
I agree. This might be a solid reboot for us Golden Age players!
Same here the only thing putting me off is the aggressive sbmm
@@BookOfMorman what’s yo thought of the game right now
@@neymardasilvasantosjunior7347 I've been playing a lot of ground war and, frankly, it's COD. It feels kinda old school MW2 with all the snipers back at it and the game play is very fast paced. For a COD I think it's good, but naturally still feels designed to piss you off. The way they spawn you in the middle of a road or 500 feet from the obj in an empty field or quite literally directly in front of an enemy. After literally 20+ years of game design you'd think they would have better spawn algos which makes me think it's literally designed to make people mad.
I really like the new weapon system but I think the balancing could use work, naturally. Super tough to balance a new system like that with all the possible combos.
The campaign I got through was sick. I never played mw1 (2019) but still really enjoyed the campaign until it glitched at the sniper mission and wouldn't let me continue. Haven't gone back yet. But I really liked the slower, more tactical campaign (as someone who would always ignore cod campaigns)
All in all, it's another cod game with some cool changes but it's cod plain and simple. Imo, you play one you play em all. I usually don't buy them, and I don't think this one is worth $70, but I don't regret buying it and still do play it.
@@neymardasilvasantosjunior7347 wbu
reminds me of the air from the titanfall games where they’d interact with each other with so many cool animations it really made the matches feel alive. glad more games are doing this because private lobbies aren’t going to feel so dead
AI honestly enhance so many MP games man especially if they interact with the environment cause with Titanfall they were fairly smart man they could be a challenge sometimes
@@Halcyon_games and the grunts were like passive Intel notifying you when an enemy was close or when a titan was around
@@reaper6830 ah yes your right they would yell out voicelines
Titanfalls ai was underrated for sure
@@torinjones3221 for real
I was hesitant to play Invasion at first because I really didn't enjoy Ground War at all. This is probably the most fun I've had playing a shooter for a while now. The G3 really shines in this game mode and I'm all for it.
Needless to say I'll be putting countless hours into this game mode once the game drops.
I was super hesitant to try it too but it was a lot of fun. The VIP rescue mode was more fun than I expected too
Sadly I never tried the invasion mode but I love the game so I wanna try it
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the amount of time and money NPC Universe takes and spends to not only buy these expensive games, but capture amazing and high quality shots in the heat of battle that look like they're taken straight out of a movie. Keep up the amazing work man!
Thank you for your support, it motivates me to keep doing what I'm doing🙂
True
That clip at 1:27 looks like something you would definitely see in good ol cod campaigns i love it
I love how they look sometimes like they are in a cutscene from the way they move around interacting with eachother and the scene where they drop from helicopter with smoke grenades is so cool
They weren't kidding when the AI improved although I find it interesting the devs have the AI to kill each other quite easily and with roaming players it takes a moment to finally finish the player
Of course it's so they players have a good time playing the game but if they raise the difficulty and apply this in special ops clearing rooms or protecting rooms will be a good challenge
The AI makes me very excited for the campaign and spec ops, hopefully they can be made more difficult to fight because the way they move around is pretty nice
@@JRexz107 I hope there'll be a mode where they raise the difficulty of ai.
The AI you encountered looks smart, in 4 hours of playing invasion i only came across AI bots standing still on a rooftop doing only god knows what
The intelligence def varies
it seems to be a bug that happens from time to time, where their AI suddenly stops working and just stand still.
Mostly happens when they're on rooftops, likely because their pathing gets confused when they stand on top of multi storey buildings.
Maybe players affect the way AI acts, like the more players there are the less room there is for the AI's scripting to act?
Kind of like star citizens ai.
@@gibleyman dude if this is really "AI" we've had AI in video games since the 90s, real AI don't use scripts they react directly to the environment
The Ai has significantly improved
Then again, it's not hard to improve on garbage, is it?
@@HausAbendrot try it again
no no. what? this is reused shit from mw 1-3 man dufaq? it's even worse than it was back then
Infinity Ward at least nails it in the animations department, and the modelling
These soldiers look so much cooler than just a plain default guy
Stuff like this is always fun to watch
I can't wait to play MWII's campaign on the 20th will be so sick
Multiplayer modes with AI are so fun! It’s a big part of what makes games like Titanfall 2 so great, honestly. When the mechanics and immersion all tie in with good AI it creates an awesome atmosphere and experience. Can’t wait to play this mode!
Watching this makes me feel like I'm playing the OG modern warfare series campaign. Seeing the AI in this gives me the vibes I had there. Watching each teammate run to cover, shooting over edges, rather than run middle field and sit there shooting. The new AI really makes you feel like you're back in the campaign, while online.
You say that like it's a good thing. Call of duty AI has always been extremely lackluster and the moment you realize what they're Actually doing in the campaign you realize the entire thing is just an illusion. Call of duty campaigns are like movies it's all about the environments and everyone's actions are scripted. They're cool, but again once you see the illusion there's no unseeing it. Plenty of games do dynamic and intelligent AI quite well I don't know why call of duty seems to struggle with it so badly even to this day. This video is full of countless moments where they just do really weird and illusion breaking stuff. My guess, the AI is once again just an afterthought.
@@bestieswithtesties cool, I’m gonna have fun with the game when it launches. Have a good day :)
@@spicygoodness6928 No one said you aren't allowed to like it. But sorry if my facts upset you and made you feel inclined to defend yourself lol
@@bestieswithtesties opinion ≠ fact
@@bestieswithtesties AI teamwork in almost any game is just an illusion. Look at F.E.A.R, for example- the AI communicates, plans and executes strategies against the player, but it's all just one big illusion to make you think that they are working with each other. In reality, nothing like that is happening, and they don't even know that the others are there, just that they have to deal with the "problem," that being the player.
The AI is much better than I expected. Hope we see more.
This almost reminds me of Insurgency's co-op mode but with actual AI rather than bots. Hell, some people have speculated that MW 2022 was slightly inspired by Insurgency.
Not entirely sure about that though.
Bro even mw19 was inspired by insurgency, those two cod took some inspiration by is, two iw animator made a lot of mod for insurgency 2014 and worked at nwi for is 2018
Seems like it though
The sound design definitely reminds me of insurgency on many guns and killstreaks. I'm personally enjoying the slower tactical gameplay. Also this Invasion mode is basically attrition from titanfall and I am here for it
I feel u on that but insurgency is hit or miss tbh sometimes the ai is smart asf 💀
The maps sure feel like it. I still pick insurganecy over this though.
2:07 Homie tripped over the laundry.
Great to see AI in Multiplayer modes, reminds me of titanfall 2. It also helps new players get into the game.
I've always wanted to see something like this in a game how they can make the ai more animated and expressive than a player character to increase immersion
Titan fall has this kind of Ai
I loved watching TF1 grunt brawls back in 2014
@@twanchee206 I love getting one tapped by a grunt after almost getting killed from a player
@@twanchee206 Dude yes! Loved walking into a room with a solo specter that just finished icing an entire Militia squad
2:06 now that's some attention to detail
I followed 2 AI up some stairs as they were hunting a player camping in a bathroom, the player kills them but I managed to avenge them, very smart AI
Hooah. Good work.
@@ohmanyourecool1 yesirrr
moving around and filming the ai like this makes you seem like a war correspondent lol
its pretty cool seeing how advanced the ai can be
I love how similar to Titanfall’s Attrition gamemode, the AI first spawn with weak load outs and armor and then progressively become stronger as the match progresses.
My theory on the AI wearing RATNIK russian gear is that they are most likely AL-QATALA or Al-Assad soldiers with captured russian gear from when they invaded russian cities at the end of MW 2019
Could be but maybe they are cooperating with the russians now
they are supperted by russians because of that they are well armored
Yeah they are AQ they have Al-Qatala patches on their gear and speak Arabic in game
6:25 that execution was just brutal, even without the blood
literally, imagine getting shot in the blank while in immense pain at point blank
the way the dude looks at the player before he started crawling made it seem like the AI was genuinely scared of getting blasted.
And the player getting closer to shoot him at point blank was the cherry on top lol.
@Attila Wilhelm Liubei Uh, can I see?
@@bobbychild8529probably too late, but DONT
In terms of decision making and animation this AI is groundbreaking. Theres so much variety in how they can fall over or peak cover, it looks really good.
Titanfall 2 already did this
Funny thing is, a lot of these behaviours can be found all the way back in Cod4, mainly ones like realistically taking cover, tripping when hitting stuff or when bullets are flying near them, crawling when being in critical health (sometimes pulling out a pistol for a last stand) and including the AI executing another AI with a cool CQC animation.
Tho ye, animation quality and their path finding seems to be improved significantly, but alot of the behaviour themselves are certainly nothing new.
I love this invasion mode but it’s really not all that. The last of us 1 and 2 have way better AI.
Groundbreaking? So many games had better
@@matthewjones39 like most people they tend to notice the spectacle more than the actual content, if something does something but looks good doing it, it’s groundbreaking, despite that thing already being done before and far better.
4:53 Guy just noped the hell out of there, lol.
That is very impressive tbh. Specially the way the take cover and shoot from cover. And that one AI clearing a building looking for the enemy player looked very good .
Other than their time between actions/lack of haste, lack of movement while shooting, lack of supressive fire, and their use of cover this seems pretty impressive. This is definitely the best A.I I've seen in a bit.
Do you only play Fortnite? If so then this is understandable.
Idk what this dude talking about ?^ but yea a few things need polishing but over all this is pretty cool
@@blaizelewis902 he's saying the ai didn't impress him. I tend to agree - looks cool but same time looks pretty dumb at times lol. like at 1:02 when that squad committed suicide

@@leonidas9808

Yeah, to be honest I was once spending 1 hour straight in COD Ghosts only to know the comparison of these AI's behavior from one difficulty to another 😅
But nevermind, your video really made my day man. Thanks for this upload 😎 👍
0:12 my boy got revived through the pee hole
7:27 hey bro my bad bro, umm you dont mind i walk into your line of fire for a sec, thanks bro
Coming from the perspective of someone who worked with the game capture artists on the COD and Overwatch franchises, you absolutely have a career in game capture ahead of you.
I'm glad to hear that thank you🙂I will add my channel to my CV when I apply😁
I love the fact that they can kind of save each other from bleeding out when they sometimes go down
This also teminds me a lot of the first titanfalls grunts
The factions here is kinda confusing. There's a faction that wore a proper military uniform with jungle camo, but with Al-Qatala logo on the helmet. There's look to be arms men's running around with little military gear, which could be that they're probably Farah loyal Militia's/Freedom Fighters (idk). And then, there's of course 141 Operators on the battlefield. So far, no Russians
Dont think we'll see any russian faction this time
Kortac milsims do have a strong russian accent,but according to that we saw in the video (Al-quatala fighting alongside Kortac operators) i think this faction has connection with Makarov
@@zaicanna96 it could be we could see russian operators coming back from last MW Ninkto was leaked so maybe there are russian Operators with false callsign to make it look like they are false flag
From what I can tell is that SPECGRU and KORTAC aren't exactly aligned with a country but rather are PMCs much like USEC and BEAR from Tarkov.
@@kureikon specgru are clearly US operators, they wear OCP and have American patches everywhere
i really hope you will be able to play invasion on a private match alone to just play around with the AI
Honestly. Devs underestimate the value of a solo MP mode. GTAO became infinitely better once you could progress in private lobbies, for example
@@fanovaohsmuts you can

@@PlanetofDecay both Ground War and Invasion. I dont remember now I'm already level 30 and always playing S&D Matches.
@@MayGamiing that’s cool to hear I would love to see Warzone private matches too but maybe I’m reaching now 😂
Had a blast playing invasion, and the AI makes it feel like war too 👍
I've always loved COD's AI. They're so animated and expressive even though their actual intelligence in COD4/MW2 was fairly rudimentary. It seems like they've managed to keep all that here.
The way they interact with each other in the older games like shouting their names is really impressive cause the ai got generated names and for some reason they can detect the names correctly
Now this is the AI I want
I swear the AI are either breaching and taking out entire rooms of real players or they're standing in the middle of the street screaming at the top of their lungs. I love em. Hopefully they can work out the bugs because I loved the Grunts in Titanfall. Hope they add some voice lines to them too. Tf2's Grunts had so much personality. "Enemy pilot down, can't wait to tell my ex-wife!"
Reminds me of Gears of War 2 lol
indeed , i really loved how they would sometime surrender in front of ennemis titan
@@twinkie9706 It really make you feels like you're an action hero without making other real players miserable.
Seams the Call of Duty Frontlines and Call of Duty Rio AI are FAR BETTER! :D
Cheers To The Cameraman Who Survive The Whole Battle.
Hope they can really shine in coop modes.
The balance on the mixture of Arcade and Realism is perfect. My favorite modern COD game so far
I like it. Was always fun to watch the AI in Titanfall Attrition so it’s nice to see some of the Respawn devs who moved to IW have brought this over.
Respawn devs went to Infinity Ward ? Funny because Respawn was started by ex Infinity Ward devs. Both do good work.
Would be really cool if we can use the AIs skins for the “mil-sim” operators
@SENZU same in 2019 I thought the milsim operator looked way better than every other operator
the advanced AI looked pretty good in the breakdown the devs did and how they made them feel like people not players but people and with this being just a beta im pretty sure it will be even better than what i’m seeing right now
AI definitely added an interesting option when I want to play alone peacefully. I found myself improved a lot at aiming and tactics. Besides AI does act like real player, they often make intelligent moves with squad coordinations
No, if the ai acted like a real player they would go running around everywhere, slide canceling and bunny hopping.
@@jrr7031 no they wouldn't 😂
@@wardswaggyou never played mw2 huh weird
7:04 they really need to work on the AIs positioning so situations like this don’t happen. Also the bots movement still feels too stiff, like they’re locked in and have to finish the action/ task they’re currently on instead of being allowed to just move fluently. Overall I like it but there’s definitely room for improvement.
I love this. Adds life to the game - I don’t see why there are any complaints, it’s a win win situation
2:56 Honestly people will talk on how "these bots do nothing for the game", but shit like this brings me back with how the AI handled shit in METAL GEAR.
and it's kinda fun to watch, makes the game realistic but also takes it the fuck away hahahah love it.
I was just thinking about it. MgsV AI are the best when idling and looking for clues or people, animations are on point and they behave in a believable way. GR Wildlands AI aggressiveness and tactics too are really good. just think about if they give them more personality like Titanfall 2 grunts and gave them faction related weapons and there you go, you have the best AI experience you can have for offline players enjoyers. maybe give them the possibility to use vehicles better too. idk, they have a proper sandbox in their hands, I hope they'll do the right thing with them.
Up the stairs they move slowly as a team. Like we se in MW campaign. Awesome just to watch as they piled up ready to attack the enemy juggernaut in a building
Id love to see a hardcore version of every mode
Cant help but notice theres a lack of death animations on MW2, everyone just kinda ragdoll to the floor lmao it looks awkward
Proper death animations would go a long way. The ragdoll physics are lackluster.
That is because when they ragdoll it looks like they have no bones.
1:56 is pretty realistic idk why youre crying
@@faceripper77 That's best example you could find? He doesn't even slide off the wall, his head just gets pulled down to the floor.
No big deal at the end of the day, we're just pointing out that it could be better. It's definetly doable.
I honestly think the ragdolls just need more weight to them, and it’ll be REALLY solid
Actually pretty impressive. Great pathfinding and surprisingly fluid animation transitions. I've always loved playing offline tdm with bots and creating custom modes that make things feel more tactical (restricted loadouts, hardcore, long respawn times, etc), but the rudimentary ai always broke immersion. Seems like it may actually be able to border on tactical shooter territory now.
The only real complaint I have is that the AI doesn't utilise or proritise cover as much as it maybe should.
Other than that, I'm really quite impressed!
I think the ai are toned down for gameplay sake
its so satisfying watching npcs react to their environment whether its getting shot, reacting to a grenade, blindfiring, reacting to someone dying, or even running from a tougher enemy.
2:32 I wished there was an option to look like a generic soldier, just a normal one.
There’s mil sim operators for that already. There was a generic US Ranger soldier with different outfits along with a Russian One
@@zendrive-4904wish they removed operators in general, factions were 10x cooler back in the old cods.

That was a player
I’m hoping to see some drag their injured to cover. Or maybe even drag you to cover too, that would be nice.
In any case, this will be improved further and I’m very excited.
@4:30 A Prime example of not letting the enemy know your next move 🤣🤣😭😵
1:58 nice suppressive fire.
Man, this feels like watching a war movie
1:55
It rlly is like that in game
imagine AIs setting up positions(like setting up sniper positions, moving strategically heading towards marker points made by players on maps, having different AIs with certain jobs. But I feel like it would be too much and over work the AIs but idk, it would seem cool tho
They could easily set predetermined Ai paths for certain maps. Like have 2 mg ai squads each team and 2 sniper duos each team that have predetermined points of interest to get to on every map. It could make it easier to set up more fluid ai movement. Like destined ai zones where there’s hardcore ai with predetermined positions to take up and have an area where mostly players end up.
The snipers do go on rooftops but they seem to get confused and don’t do anything when they get there.
If only this game was in 3rd person. This looks really good! As a Veteran, I say they've got the MoCap done really well!

@@PanicWithoutDisco If that's the case, I'll be happy then. Still not buying it day one.
youre a veteran
I like how they seem to use some combination of full 360 movement and more cover-based system, it seems like the best of both worlds. They seem to be actually checking their angles and anticipating attacks, and generally having a bit more self-preservation than the typical shooting gallery AI we'd expect from less capable hands than Infinity Ward's.
The AI act like the Campaign Mission AI. That’s so cool.
2:47 how the guy flinches to the left to dodge the bullet is such an insane detail
AI is good! Obviously it's probably not going to look like this forever and will be tweaked over time but hopefully it gets better
main complaints are that they're a little slow in movement, like they might stand around for a few seconds giving someone an extremely easy shot on them, and also that they don't wait for other soldiers to get in vehicles when one takes control, because every time you see a car rushing down the road, there's only the driver and sadly no gunner. Also, they do get stuck on each other sometimes/run into one another which isn't very good because they just kind of stop for a second.
im guessing these are turned down for this mode, im betting in dmz or the high loot areas in warzone they will turn that dial way up and they will be nutty
@@TheOneTrue2 The only dial they probably turn up is the auto aim hacks
The camera man really did well in his job
Loved this game mode. Can't wait to see the other maps!
When AI is a better room clearer than you. 😅
Invasion is probably the most fun I’ve had in CoD in a long time! Fantastic game mode focused on having fun and not competitive play. Sure you can still be competitive when you find another player but just pure fun chaos in between. Just hope they support it more and we get a lot more maps for it. I don’t want it to end up like ground war in mw19 with a whopping 4 maps lol
2:10 just like cutscene
Dude some of these AI are really good, If you are outnumbered, sneaked up or get flanked by them, then you're screwed which they will deliberately attempt to
Animations, 1st and 3rd, have got to be some of the best I’ve ever seen in a video game.
This is really good I feel the only thing that’s missing is dialog.
