Thanks for the comments. Fritz is still early beta software, so a lot of the issues you point out are things on my TODO list that need to be fixed/tweaked/improved/added. So, we're working on them, and Fritz will get gradually better with each release.
RE: strafing, they should do it at any time with any SMG weapon. I've seen them do it quite a bit and have coded them to do it if they so choose, but they try to mix up their tactics, and some bots will do it more then others at certain times, so thats why some here have seen it, and others haven't.
Spawn camping is a matter of taste, a lot of ppl hate it, so its never been added yet. If one of the waypointers really wanted to add that behavior (and they're more then welcome to) I wouldn't stop them, but I don't encourage it. I know its behavior online players do, but online players also cheat, whine, cause troubles, annoy, etc, etc - which are things I don't want Fritz to do either.
I want to simulate the GOOD and FUN aspects of online pub play, not the lame stuff.
Camping location is up to the waypointer. They can add as many or as few as they want. Since this was the first version of Fritz, I'm sure things that need improvement will be worked on in time.
the bots should have no problems hearing your chats if you bind them to keys - thats what I do, and they respond properly like they should. They don't respond to just text, but instead the actual voice chat.
Cheers!
