Since Ready or Not 1.0 the AI is utter ♥♥♥♥. They feel like they have been lobotomized for no apparent reason.
They have been mediocre in Early Access but now they feel cheap and lazy. The refuse to surrender no matter how many officers yell at them, wether they have been ambushed from behind or not or wether they have been shot or hit.
The AI will also pull the dumbest ♥♥♥♥ out of their asses like instantanious 180 degree headshots and what not regardless of wether the enemy is a veteran or some back alley crackhead.
Until they finally acknowledge the issues with the AI don't bother buying it, but it seems they are more interested in selling DLC then fixing those issues

I don't even know. This game has changed so much over the course of it's early access development and supposed 1.0 and thereafter. I don't think the game is bad. I think it's in a worse place than it could be. And I also think it won't return to it's peak.

It sure is a spiritual successor to SWAT 4. So it succeeds there. But everything is super rough. The controls can be odd, gunplay can feel unfair, AI on both sides is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ inconsistent, and worst of all it isn't very well optimized. It's difficult to even give this a thumbs down with all the time and fun I've had with it. But I am not going to tell people to buy this one.

I think the primary issue is the devs. They constantly pendulum swing between updates as to whether the game runs better and as to whether the AI is any good. And ever since 1.0 they release like 2 updates a year, focusing on DLC, and not really tackling the primary issues with the game. I think both the AI and the performance have both gotten to a point that has finally made me uninstall and that's without even trying any new maps from DLC 2. Because I just couldn't bring myself to try new stuff when the old maps still aren't up to snuff in terms of AI pathing, suspect behaviour, and again the performance is painful no matter what I do to the graphics.

You can use unauthorized force on black suspects... Would play again!
