CPU difficulty - Sorry if asked before

Postby kikinchaz » Fri Sep 22, 2006 5:49 pm

Hey there,

I was wondering if it is possible to change the CPU difficulty in the game? I was wondering for playing cooperative games with friends if we could start off easy then build up the difficulty to make it more interesting in later games.

I wouldn't say that, it does seem that each game is highly customizable (<--spelling?)

Scaleable AI is a high possibility

Don't forget about AI personalities. There may not be difficulty selection, but you might be able to choose between aggressive and defensive AIs.

No lol im waiting til friday, I can resist the temptation.

Well if the pirated version has got my friend to purchase the game personally i see it as a good thing. As well as bringing in money for IV, Im glad i have someone i know to nuke the hell out of on the 29th.
