Gears of War 2: Bots To Fill In For Players Who Quit

[eXo]

One of the fixes being addressed in the next Title Update for Epic's Gears of War 2 is the online multiplayer dropping out of the match. We've all been there and most likely have even done it before ourselves at one point. You're completely outclassed in an online match and people start dropping out of the game faster than most 13 year olds will tell you what your mother has been up to with some unsavory fellow. As stated by Joe Graf, a Moderator of the official Epic Forums and Programmer for Epic Games:

Not a bad idea. Something is better than nothing.

Nice idea. I was surprised they didn't implement this earlier, Epic is generally great at making bots for games (ie all of the the Unreal games).

I'm not a fan of bots, but we'll see how this turns out.

Waste of time if you are on the team with the quiter(s). The bots in Gears 2 are pretty pathetic. I've played a few matches filled with insane level bots and it is no challenge at all. Also if it somehow comes down to bot VS. bot you are pretty much screwed since they never manage to kill each other in that situation.
