Can I register my EXTREME FUCKING DISLIKE of the AI in this game? HOLY FUCKING CHRIST the campaign is becoming impossible to play! It's fucking 5 on 1 in most cases! My AI teammates can't even fucking defend ONE CONTROL POINT. AS SOON as I take one back the one I took previously is gone... it's fucking ridiculous!

FUCK this game is more frustrating than the downed Live time that gave it up for free.

You're just a pussy. The game is hard, but it's not that hard. Most of the time I ended up dying because of doing something stupid like flying around and depth charging myself over and over again. (Hint: trying that is cool, but when you drop the charge, it's going to do it in the direction you point, so be sure to change direction.)

Now, I don't dare play it on Ultra. Normal is hard enough. The key thing is to stay put if the enemies are coming in. If even one guy comes though, he's going to take a base. The same applies to their side, too, though. Sometimes I swoop to the other side of the level and take a base or two of theirs.

Also, I've seen situations like yours plenty of times, too. It's usually because you're being out-flanked. The best thing to do it take an END base, defend it, and slow move the offense. After that, the last base is always the hardest to take, but I've had shutouts before.

It is a cheap fucking game, I agree. The AI is completely useless. I'll be sitting there defending an end base and you can just see my counter go down big time. The AI help is so useless it's insane and the other side always seems to start with Lv 3 powerup for everything while you have to build it up.

It's a nice distraction every now and then but I would have been pissed if I paid for it.

This may or may not be true, but Undertow's friendly AI is woefully bad. There are no excuses you can make for it.

That's my main beef with it. It's made to be two players and you know it. All they did was make the AI dumb to start and even dumber as you go up difficulties. It detracts from the game big time.

Well, the AI just mostly follows you around. I found the enemy AI to just be really difficult (at Normal) is all. In any case, it's made for a good 16-player game, but it just doesn't have enough of an audience. I'll play it tonight to see if anybody is around.
