CS1.6 · **Re: bots are too easy -** 16-10-2006

Hello,

i play cs 1.6 periodically on LAN tournaments and on the rare occasions our team members are all online in our private training server. I found podbot_mm and am quite happy to have found this little treasure, since it's the only bot expedient for playing cs 1.6 without cheats. If you really want to become aware how reality looks like then try any bot without the use of cheats and you will immediately find out that it's impossible to play (and this beeing said from someone who is good in cs) since all bots are suited for the use of cheats.

Now, since i expect many (online playing) people to complain about "the easyness" of podbot_mm V3 in the same fashion as it is beeing done allready and since i doubt that many other people like myself will lose words on this forum, i expect the masses will overrun the few (real elite players) and because of that podbot_mm V3 is very likely to become unplayable for LAN preparation purposes in the future, repectively in the upcoming versions.

The behaviour of the bots is very impressive. They tend sometimes just to ignore footstep noises and they also sometimes tend to just turn around and head to another direction/map goal in midth of a battle - forgetting that they had just contact and were in a fight but i can only speak for the skill settings from 0 to 50 (from "noob/idiot" to "average" ..obviously i am someone with such skills). Also it seems to me that they have to check specific camp points (like the left box in the straight narrow hallway in de_dust leading to A). At those occasions the kills by the bots occur way to fast. It's impossible to react even and normally it's actually the hiding/camping player that enjoys has an advantage. The last point would be the only "issue" to actually worth mention.

Now, you may not get much response from them but the few real elite cs players with LAN tournament ambitions, and also success (like me) would obviouly use only your bots. So here goes my thanks and compliment: you did a good job on the V3. A realistic bot for the few elite cs players.

What i would like to know now is if v3.15c is the same bot version as in the all-in-one 2.7 (which i use) and if the future releaes will actually become harder? If so..it would be helpfull to know in the particular release notes. Well for a serious player the podbot_mm v3 is as best as it could get.
