I say it's boring because I think it will be boring. I don't need to like a system to don't vote that. I simply say that, in my opinion, Synapse will be much better, because yes, you use bots, but there is the player behind the bots.
Considering the possibilities of Ex, it will still be boring.
How much time do you think the devs need to create a new map/mission?
And how much time do the player need to get accustomed to the current maps?
In a "hey, I survived more than you" mode you don't have the "standard" adrenaline coming from fighting another player. In a system in wich the winner is simply the one that killed more bots/survived longer, you don't need to be good to win, you just need to know the bot and the map.
So yes, for me, it will be boring.
Reversing your question: do YOU consider the possibilities of Synapse? Just think as a better Exterminatus.

Ps: how many bots do you think a pc can handle? I don't think you'll ever see more than 20 on your screen at once. You should also think to who hasn't got a pc configuration as good as Nasa's. And you should think about the server issues (lag primarily).
I don't blame Exterminatus, I still consider it boring and will say that Synapse is better until the vote ends. Then I'll conform to wich mode wins and try to help develop it as good as I can Cheesy

for now, there is a tie. i can see myself playing both modes.
the missions would have to be really different though.
Synapse would be more of a match on one map, one battle, and the Exterminatus would be marines slaughtering their way through hordes upon hordes of nids, to finally claim an objective. And get bonuses on the way there.

If there should be a draw or something I would transfer my vote for Tree of Life to Synapse coz I'm definitely against a coop mod!

I'm glad I'd be gone when the next poll opens, then.
I wouldn't have patience for any more polls.

Hahah! That was you right Vast?

Good to see Synapse taking the lead. I think the major benefit of it is that it is unique. There are plenty of players vs. AI coop mods, but I can't think of any that have players in command of AI. And lets face it, if RS2 doesn't set itself apart from the crowd somehow, it'll likely just blend into the dark background of mods that the community is awash with.

Now that I re-read the synapse briefing it actually sounds quite good.

(BTW when i posted earlier there was one vote difference between Exterminatus and Synapse.)
