    I have friends who will play so I will buy it, but I doubt I'll get nearly as much play time out of it that I got out of Wildlands.

    October is in five month I sincerely hope they reconsider their position, or make an option or something, this is the worst decision they could possibly make (this one and the class based gameplay, I mean you come from "do whatever you want" to "you should have gone for the heavy class for this boss")
    I couldn't agree more, too early to be throwing in the towel just yet. This poll should have included a not sure just yet choice!

    5 months to implement a squad AI system sounds far too short. Keep in mind, besides the actual AI also all situation would need to be tested and balanced for a squad. Even as minimalistic UI as Wildlands has for the squad would need implementation (keybinding & design). Even if they could just port it from Wildlands it would proabably take more than 5 months, but I honestly expect even more work to be needed. Such complex features can't be just copy & pasted from one game to another.

    Not to mention that having the squad from Wildlands would be a huge dissapointment as it was the most critized feature of the game. Incredibly a team of a 1000 people at Ubisoft were not able to find a solution to improve them. No comment on that...

    Nope. No AI team option, no money from me. Same reason I didn't, and still won't, buy R6S.

    I hardly ever used the AI Team in GRW except for the occasional synch shot, heal and very rarely, backup when things went South. Honestly, not having them in the game makes no difference to me although I would have liked to see the option for those that do.

    Seems to me that they realized they couldn't really improve the team AI the way they wanted to (that many wanted them to) so it was just easier to nix them.

    A lack of team AI isn't going to affect my decision to buy the game as I will just play it solo or with my friends like I did GRW. ....but there are other aspects I don't particularly like that had me second guessing.


    ....as for folks asking for the team AI to be removed in GRW, what I remember most had asked for was the OPTION to play alone. .....not remove the mechanic entirely for everyone. They finally added the option which was fine.

    I’d like to have the option...

    But this game looks way too tasty to pass up.

    I’ll get over it...

    This was the smart move about AI, but simply remove it wasn't a great idea (yes I try my best to seem contained at this point)

    Agreed. That’s how I play anyhow.

    I’m worried about Classes forcing you into one playstyle the entire game and a set selection of weapons...

    You know what Ubisoft should have an open beta for all to at least test the game and make our decision for ourselves because we are loosing ourselves in conjectures. They did it for Wildlands, why not for this game?

    Pre-order it, play the beta, then cancel your pre-order if you don't like it.
