I enjoy these bots and appreciate the time spent into creating them, I use counterstrike 1.6.

I would like to suggest a few things that I feel would make a huge difference, I have only used EPod bots and Condition Zero Bots so my opinions my be bias.

A. Buying System
-The bots seem to often times go without buying anything even when on the winning team(no they are not just running with pistol they do not buy anything sometimes)
-When you go to restrict certain items besides the shield it seems to completely ruin the system and it goes haywire(I disabled most of the "noob" weapons yet they can still buy some of them or they just run around with a pistol)
-There needs to be a MOD where BOTS can only purchase weapons used in competitive play(AWP, AK, M4, MP5, GALIL, FAMAS, DEAGLE) If someone could code that I'd appreciate it.
-BOTS never buy defusal kits or grenades(very often) which seems to be a major flaw.
-BOTS don't coordinate save rounds or buy at the same time, they just buy when they are at a certain ammount of money(differs for each bot) I would love to see a command implemented that you would be able to control when they buy and when they save or at least make them buy as a team.
-I've compared CZ BOTS and EBOTS and I'd have to say that CZ BOTS in the buying category prevail because they buy more accurately and it's MUCH easier to disable weapons.

B. Movement
-The movement of the bots is very rough and aimbot like unlike the CZ BOTs who seem to move more smoothly in a better flow.
-They seem to kill you before they even finish coming around the corner, that needs to be fixed(even if it is skill 100 nobody can have reflexes like that and I assume these bots are supposed to be semi realistic)
-In CZ when you press a command on the radio(If you have turned off bots can go stray)they will all obey the command no matter what this works especialy well when trying to rush(I.E. "Follow Me" they will all follow no questions asked)
-When EBots respond to the radio they either disregard it or say "Affirmative" and still disregard it. On occasion they will obey but not all of them 2-3 if your lucky.
-I also think you need to make the bots a bit more difficult(bots seem to be better with usps than primary's)

I hope you can see that this is constructive criticism and not take it as insults or degrading your work. Sorry for the poor write-up, I was in a rush. I think you should take these suggestions into consideration and implement them in your next patch. They are all workable in my opion especialy some of the buying system and radio flaws.

Thank You,
The New Guy
