I've had a reoccurring problem when I play with people. They just take off and try to speed run the darn game. They will run off and leave you in another room.
Does anyone else have this happen a lot? On the day of launch and the day after, I played with some very cool and patient people. But later on I kept getting into games with people that want to move as fast as possible. Where's the fun in that? I'll get in a game and the other two players just take off at full speed. I haven't even completed the second mission yet. I want to enjoy the newness of the game, not just go madly racing from point A to B.
I have come to enjoy playing with bots because I can take my time and explore every corner of the map locations. Also the bots don't get in my way as much as people. This helps me practice my aiming skills more.
I will say that to me it is utterly foolish that this game is lacking local co-op. It would be wonderful to play with friends and family at home. And with all of these darn connection issues, local co-op makes even more sense. If you were playing with someone sitting right next to you you'd have the ability to take your time and not play a game of "chase the people that left you."
The people out there make the experience less than amazing sometimes. Yeah, everyone seems to just rush towards the next objective. I've been left behind more than once while trying to rearm and heal up. On the PC it's pretty bad because of the lack of voice chat, so you can't even tell someone you want to slow down and enjoy the experience.
Even worse, when you get pounced on by something and your team mates are miles away.
The Discord server has helped find better players to play with. They have LFG threads for the different platforms, where you can put in what you're looking for, and avoid the riff-raff.
Alpha and Beta are pretty good for Casual and Standard, but when you get to Intense and above they start doing stupid things like walking through a stream of bullets that you're pouring out at charging runners. Unfortunately, that makes them less than ideal at that point - but human players even moreso.
