All the bots I ever played against have distance as their biggest weakness, some more so than others. No matter what bot you play against, I think you'll find that the best way to kill them is to snipe at them from a distance.

I found that there's a lot more to aiming well at a distance than just fixing a steady cross hair on the target. Factors such as movment, crouching, jumping, zooming method, burst fire frequency, type of weapon in hand, and the aiming algorithm, will all work together and affect how good a bot is at taking out opponents at a distance. Even with great aiming, how a bot moves around during combat is at least 50% of the equation.

You can try my mEAn mod to see how well a bot can shoot at a distance. I think its pretty darn good, but still no match against a skilled human player.

I'm working on a version which will allow you to turn individual enhancements on by team, that way you'll be able to compare the results.
