I also felt / noticed the same thing ... you're not exaggerating, mr. Emotional!

So much so that I left a suggestion for mr. Cheeseh (see previous posts above), maybe able to "please 'Greeks' and 'Trojans' ":
"I suggest adding a 'control variable' with the goal of providing the player's control over the speed of bots (on battle). Very fast (or too slow) matches may displease some players and please others. Somehow interfere on this variable would be very welcome, I think ..."

X---------------------------------------------
[Update Review/Comment (5/6/2014):]
[recently I thought on a suggestion to mr. Cheeseh, although I know it will involve efforts: to create 2 styles of "escape-behavior of grenades", switchable by a "control variable", according to the personal taste of each player: (1) to "emulate multiplayer game", the bot only runs away; (2) and for fans of the style "combat behavior based on reality", the bots behave as shown in YouTube videos (examples based on: real life, Dod: Classic with Sturmbot, Men Of War)
This option "choose between 2 styles of behaviors: one for 'emulate multiplayer game' and other for 'combat behavior based on reality', through a 'control variable' ", is a solution that can be applied whenever there impasses in the future development of the Rcbot2, ie: dilemma between "simulate multiplayer game" and "simulate realistic behavior on combat situations". This idea is valid, keeping in mind the development of Rcbot2 in MEDIUM TO LONG TERM !]
X---------------------------------------------

Now [after the mr. 'Emotional' post], I felt even more secure about my comments, after noting that other community members also share - with some frequency - the same point of view. I think I can take the liberty to risk more, when I express my opinions and suggestions, hereafter.


Thanks!
