"Owning a real player is far more satisfying than AI"
This actually USED to be the case. That was until peeps decided finding every glitch and hack in the book to beat other players at any cost became the norm.
In games like Armed Assault etc, I prefer to play against the A.I. cause they always play incharacter. In a straightforward Quaker, the gameplay is meant to be played like a wackoff session. But even so, you`ll always find legions of asshats who get wood not from just playing the game as intended, but glitching etc etc etc.
