Zee "Official CS bot" (Z-Bot) eez not dumbest bot ever
.
PodBot no better than Z-Bot. As well as ZB no better than PB.
They're just different...
ZB sucks at nade-bada-boom-management but owns at team tactics
(comparing to PB at least).
My first experience with ZB was right after 3-4 sleepless nights (in a row)
of CS-inet-warfare. Well, anyway, first map was de_dust. I was amazed.
ZBots rushed to that T corridor and made bloodbath there! Like human players
yesterday night! Then i saw how CT's guard dropped bomb, radioing about how
many T's left, T's defending bomb carryer, etc - they really tryed to
fulfill the mission goals. Never saw that kinda thing in PB... Only after
that i saw their godlike accuracy, xpert nade suicide-ability, flaws in
auto-nav-gen proc (most of wich btw can be fixed by editing nav-mesh)...
All-in-all ZB was done as a "monster" for an average player (a noob actually,
who's want to just to be entertained). To make MP game playable in
single-player mode. It's an entertainer, again for an average player.
And it actually do that quite well. It was NOT designed to simulate human
player behavior or to be an ultimate killer AI. Its just a monster...
