Hello all,
I haven't had the time to play with the bots for maybe half a year or even more. Back then I was very satisfied with the bots. Not so long ago I bought a new machine and decided to check the current version of pb. I thought if they didn't improve it during that time, then at least it will be as good as it has been. I was utterly disappointed...
First of all, I downloaded the version from
here. In the cfg I set bot skill to [80; 99]. I even lowered/increased a few values which are supposed to improve the behaviour of the bots. Inhuman turns is on which is supposed to make them even more deadly.
I tried dust and dust2. Here are the problems I noticed:
- Bots run slowly. Noticeably slowly. This means CTs have pretty much no chance to defuse if they aren't a few meters from the planted C4 and the bots are easy targets.
- They often get stuck after running into each other.
- They often do not pay attention when they are attacked (even when they see the attacker).
- Some completely stupid he throws. I've seen a bot throwing a he at the wall. No one was around.
- Ts often do not plant the C4. They take it out and sit at the planting zone without doing anything.
These are my observations. I'm just wondering what happened. It's as if I was playing with dumb morons. I pretty much only died in the case of instant headshots, otherwise the bots were nothing. I always thought you guys had done a decent job, but honestly the version I tried is unusable.
And it's not my PC since it's up to date (Athlon 3800+, 2x1 GB Corsair DDR2, X1900XT running XP Pro SP2).
I really hope I tried the wrong version.
