that seemed logically to me though... i would be more suprised if they said "no, we are gonna send out a template so you can create your own 3rd party bots"... guess we have to do this 'dirty work' again ;)

Thats good news, and bad news.

Its good because its nice to have a game thats friendly for us 56k people (playing online really isn't an option for me at home), but it also sucks because it discourages the formation of bot communities (thats why you don't see any bot community for Q3 or Unreal).

never mind, there'll still be chance to make HL2 bots :)
don't know about TF2 though, because its source code won't be released and making a "first" hook DLL is not so easy

CS:Source-Screenies, check this out. The official CS-bot has many serious problems and plays very lame. Podbot is still much better.;)

cs:s is going to be boxed with certain versions of hl2 and it's gonna be a freebie with those versions :D

Only on certain maps... On the maps it plays well, it's much better!
You're right though, it still needs updating to fix those serious problems that make the bots useless on some custom maps.

So now it all comes together!

rizzuh:"Counter-Strike: Source will see its first BETA released in the coming months to Cybercafe partners and then to Counter-Strike: Condition Zero owners. CS: Source's BETA release continues the Counter-Strike tradition of public BETA tests. The first Counter-Strike had nearly a year and a half of BETA releases that practically changed the game from month to month (about Counter-Strike). CS 1.6 and Steam shared a nine month BETA session.

Valve's Doug Lombardi sent this to CS-Nation for release:

Starting later this summer, Valve will be conducting a limited-time beta of Counter-Strike: Source via Steam. The beta will first be open to subscribers of the Valve Cybercafé Program, and then extended to owners of Counter-Strike: Condition Zero. The next installment of the world's number 1 online action game, Counter-Strike: Source blends CS' intense teamplay with the advanced technology of Valve's Source engine. For more information, please visit www.steampowered.com."

CSBot was included in CS1.6 since the very beginning up to now - check your mp.dll. Valve had to block it to sell CZero. I play CSBot all very often, it is really gooood.
