An
update to the Team Fortress 2 Blog has word on back-end fixes underway: "We've got one more update to go out to our backend item system. After that, we'll be granting all the missing items that weren't granted properly when you finished achievements."
In a far more substantial update, they announce that you can beta test the current incarnation of
Team Fortress 2 bots that Valve is cooking up for the multiplayer shooter. They outline how you can test the bots in King of the Hill on koth_viaduct, koth_sawmill, and koth_nucleus, ad explain what to expect from your AI playmates:
TFBots are "players", and take up player slots. They run the exact same code that human players do, moving and firing weapons by pressing "virtual buttons". The bots have simulated humanlike senses, and only know what they see, hear, and touch. They also have realistic reaction times and aiming limitations. They don't "cheat" or use omniscient knowledge of the server state to make their decisions.

Considering there was almost NO support for bots, at all (see: RCbot from scratch) these new bots are quite awesome. Also, they're pretty realistic. They do miss, they do airblast rockets occaisionally, and they build teleporters. Snipers move, miss, and can also nail amazing headshots.
RCBot was pretty cool considering it was from scratch, but the bots are very autonomous and obvious.
I can't wait to see the next update for bots (As well as get my Scottish Resistance that I never got from achievements :().
Tip: You do NOT have to nav_generate on every map, try different maps with bots first. They usually have waypoints already. |
