Good afternoon.
That's why I stopped playing on line. The drawback to playing single player is that it takes me, on average, around twenty hours to learn a game and most games lose their interest for me when I know how to win.
I would bet that the AI will be learning and adapting before long.
I started playing seriously a couple of years ago as therapy after I had a stroke. Having to manipulate the keyboard and keep track of the gameplay helped me regain the use of my left side and seemed to smooth out my thinking.
The VA shrink thinks I'm crazy to be hunting virtual Nazis, mutant monkeys and communists but it seems to mellow me out. If I stop playing for a few days, I begin to have nightmares. I start up playing and my dreams become pleasant again.
My 9 year old grandson is a quick and deadly shot against virtual monsters but he doesn't like killing virtual humans.

I know, when I fell on ice in 2003 and had my left hand cut open, it got infected with strep, I needed surgery and was in the hospital for 5 days. I almost lost part or all of my hand but I got off with a huge scar and some nerve damage. After I got out, I had to go to therapy as well. I was off on medical leave, I was bored so I got out my Playstation to pass the time and my therapist and doctor said it was a good idea to exercise my hand to get it going again.
