bad move, I hate bots in general. It gets very boring going on a server and finding that every other person is a bot and me having no friends doesn't help either

I think bots can compliment a game when just 2 or 3 of you want to play. Like most things, they're great occasionally but too much of them just pisses people off.Comment

I don't see how a smarter (yet customizable) bot could be a bad thing.Comment

My only worry is that normally, bots who don't need waypoints hog a lot of CPU time, meaning you can never spawn that many. Pod-Bot was fine, since it was all waypoint based. Having said that, this implementation seems okay, since past the first run through, it should be fine.
So long as ASE can still tell the difference between bots and normal players, and filter them out (as it does now, with the servers running unofficial bots), i don't see a problem. If they're good, it'll be nice if you can't get online, have no friends, or are just plain xenophobic.
I do kinda feel that it's stepping on the toes of all the people who spent many hours, weeks and months developing their own bots... but i guess that's the way it goes. If the "official" bot sucks, people will still use Pod-Bot or what have you.Comment

It's great news for those 56K'ers or people with other horrible connections who want to play against some bots offline
It'd be pretty gay if they allowed the bots to be online. I go online to face other real people, not a bot. I don't care how good the AI is, a bot can never truly act like a human. Too many servers will have bots and it will be a pain in the ass to find one that doesn't.Comment

Steam works fine through my Netgear router and that has a firewall built in
yah thats the main thing i noticed, waypointing is a bitch and i didnt get far before getting tired of it. i just wish they wouldnt solely distribute it through steam cause then i still wont be able to use it since steam doesnt work through firefuckingwalls. they should really put it in an exe tooComment

Go VALVE! I hope they do a good job. Hopefully the bots will be released with CS:CZ... making it a very complete game, with Mission Singleplayer, Bot Match Singleplayer, Co-Op Multiplayer, and Standard CS Multiplayer.
I just hope the bots will have a high degree of customizablility, just as in UT.Comment
