Huh... I wonder if CS will be getting this in the future as well.

[white_wolf111]

Yeah it will be good to see CSS get some of these updates...

[washuplushie]

[thepingofdeath]

Has DoD : Source got bots similiar to those of Counter-Strike : Source ?



Mine's in the process of doing a lengthy update so I can't go test it for myself just yet.

As far as I know there are no Source Bots in DoD:S. At least, not on the create game menu there isn't.

[[CyW]-=BigBear=-]

No new map unfortunatly..

[HowlinMadMurphy]

[Ryosuke T]
