Check it out.PlanetCS: What do you plan in future Versions (AI, vehicles ...)?
Paul George: I will begin with the AI and the teamplay : it is the most important thing ! I will make them learn how to use grenades, how to rescue hostages, plant/defuse bomb... They will know how to use radio and they will understand them...

Paul George: About 100 hours (1 week)
PlanetCS: What are you doing in "real life" ?
Paul George: I'm a student in an University of Informatique, and I'm learning how to program ! I'm 19 years old...

Click damnit, before Survivor ends!~."Bots for HalfLife have never been perfected, and since it is only the first beta, it is no surprise that S.W.A.T. bots haven't mastered it either. Bots are slow, stupid, uncreative and deadly accurate. The waypoint system means they're wandering randomly between adjacent points, with little or no sense of direction at all."
