here in new zealand we only just got adsl and wireless connections started up last 2 years...............
we have no cable or anything like that and the majority of ppl are still probably 56k
the best price for an adsl connection is $80 for a 256k 10gb max limit connection...a month...not including set up fees....which is alot of money :'(
so i'm pretty sure bot's will be around and used alot for at least the next 5 years.....
also game dev's will able to make better ai for games like cs:cz where u can have a single player mission as well multiplayer online. and the bot's don't get scripted to do certain things..
imagine finding barney type guys and them being able to move and shoot and kill..run when they come under heavy fire on their own instead of acting like hostages and dying so often
and a bot thats able to be used in any game will mean u'll almost never have to search for a bot
