notice how almost everything i talk about it game mechanics that will remain in the full game

also opinions

Whenever I play with AI, they just stand directly in front of swat officers during assault waves, wait a minute or so before catching up to me, and simply refuse to shoot.  AI partners are pretty stuff compared to the first Payday.

But hot damn does it feel good to pull something off with friends, especially watchdogs or full stealth jewelry heists.  OP is pretty damn accurate.

I completely agree with op this game is fantastic

you must be playing on super mega hard mode because the ai are fine for me

I actually only solo'd three times, and all of them were one-star heists.  So maybe I just have stuff luck.

AI partners have always been quite stuff. A shame, really

Bump because the game is announced to be released August 27th

Bump because this game is public to anybody who has payday 1.

a versus mode would be kinda fun tho
you just have a hard-on for being cops in anything

Ahem, August 13th bro.

Ugh the one thing I reaaaallly hate about public games is the awful crime.net thing where you have to sit there and wait for a match you actually want to play, and every time it loads new games (see: every 5-10 seconds) it completely halts the game for a second or so. I just want to see a server list with ping, playercount, and actually be able to filter what mission I want to play and on what difficulty.

Its a ton of fun certainly, but the AI are borderline broken. I've seen them ..
  • Go down, but walk around getting shot for 10~ seconds after the fact
  • Revive teammates through walls
  • Revive teammates across the room
  • Take absurd amounts of damage without dying/going down
  • Fire so poorly so that they cannot hit an enemy across a hallway from them

I also have a minor complaint that there is no reset button. While this may be intentional to make stealth more tense, it would be nice to have.
