Although i fear the same as PMB. I think we still have a slight chance because we DID make bots in the early days (and a lot of HL1/CS 1.6 users DO know we did)... so if ANY new POD / REAL / JOE comes out. They'll surely give it a try if we get such news posted on CSNATION or HL2.NET
I played HL2DM, and actually the lag was not that bad! I mean, its been 2 days now and there where more servers ofcourse in our 'neighbourhood'. So that could explain it. Though, with a ping of 30 you play 'well'... and a ping of 50 sometimes causes chokes. Though it also relies on other player's pings.
Its a start, and a pretty good one too. I bet they can optimize things a lot even, so lets sit and wait. I'd like to see some HL2DM bot first
So we get the basic idea how to do it. I already checked the src sdk reading material, but it did not explicity explained bot's architecture. So i guess we have to figure it out ourselves again...
