Why do games do this

How come Fps games in the campaign they try to make it seem epic by giving you "backup" that doesnt do anything. I mean It bugs me, all the COD series and most other fps give you allies that can just shoot at an enemy for like an hour and all it does it mildly annoy them.

Ummm,i dont get what your saying.

say ur playing Mw2 campaign and your at the first lvl. U will have AI on your team for a bit. They can shoot and shoot an enemy but it wont do a thing to the enemy

They are there for dramatic purposes and sometimes storyline. Take CoD: WaW for example. There were a shitload of Russians soldiers when they stormed the Reich in WW2, so the developers must also put a shitload of Russian soldiers in the game.

I suppose it does make it look nice but still i wish they wouldnt leave the work to you, i mean its not like one guy took down the nazis all by himself and just sat behind a rock for 3 secs if he got shot

Yeah but still, it's either that OR...you have no allies and you're a one-man army (highly unrealistic) or you have allies that do all the work and you're barely even playing the game. How would you rather it were executed?

i suppose your right i guess this is just one of my pet peeves with games.

rainbowsix allys kill enemies all the time

Ya i remember that game. thats why i liked those games they give a tiny squad of non brain dead allies

Allies are worthless in COD:Finest Hour. Worst in the series. I had an ally(killable) and an enemy hit eachother with their rifle buts for about 5 minutes, then I went to the store for about an hour and they were still swinging at each other. I think the first casualty would have been my PS2 if I didn't turn it off.
