    So will we get a warning before the AI decides to become self aware?

    I still need to map out my nearest bomb shelter.

    Just to be clear, this is in the current build that launched today, not a second one you guys are churning out uber-ninja-fast?

    By smoke test I thought it meant that some ARMA 3 style smoke effects would be added to destroyed units.

    What has he done. every time i think ive gotten good :p the AI gets improved, and i get my behind handed to me lol.

    Its really nice seeing a developer actually focusing on AI, instead of the same excuse like, oh well its a multiplayer title. SAy what you will about Starcraft 2, but man that game has HORRIBLE ai,

    Im not that good, im like gold league SC2, and i can beat all the AI, even those difficulties that cheat like insane with more resources and maphack is hard sometimes but still.

    Its sad that more companies dont focus on pushing AI. sometimes as much as i love multiplayer, there is something relaxing over just gaming with some ai, or with a pal against some ai.

    I agree, as a software developer myself, I find the field of AI endlessly fascinating.

    You know that you are too hyped about the game when the devs start linking their thread to yours...
