AI in FAF-Coop

[onix331]

Hello guys,

im new in FAFand played the first mission of fa coop with my friend. The AI destroyed us and now im searching the difficulty button. Is there one? Or how can i change the AI otherwise?

And my next and last question: Is the AI cheating or is it normally building, because i think it is cheating.

I couldn't find any answers on the web so im asking here.

Theres a set difficulty, It also scales with the number of people that you have and the numbers of certain units that you have built.

[onix331]

And where can i set the difficulty?

[Deering]

No as in its set. As in set. You can't change it. If you are having trouble i recommend you watch some of the replays in the coop leaderboard, they will give you a good idea of what to do.

Usually only the first 5 minutes are very hard. Try surviving those and you should be fine

[onix331]

Yep i survived it:P But why no difficulty-change-option?

My limited experience with COOP campaign, you work together to get one commander upgraded, then its survival for a while, then you stockpile before completing the objective.
Then repeat.

You ask is the AI 'cheating' ...lol
Answer F**k Yeah

The AI does not build all those early attack units in Coop missions ...they are spawned via script triggers.
The AI has existing major bases and is producing units right from the get-go.
If you take too long to expand you will be munched-up and spat-out by the AI.
The Coop missions are an excellent addition to FAF ...there are some massive battles to be fought across some highly detailed and well drawn maps.

There is an alternative ----> TeamPlay_AI maps
On these maps you can set the difficulty so that the AI is a complete idiot and does nothing or you can use Sorian AI and have a decent enemy with no cheating. Once you are proficient at destroying AIs you can use AIx and set the [email protected] to increase the AI strength. This is a similar strength that you are facing in a Coop mission. The difference is that in TeamPlay_AI the AIx must build a base and build all its units as there are no extra spawned units.

Search 'TeamPlay' in FAF Vault to find TeamPlay_AI maps.
