Ah!? I knew it!! That last news item posted was shotty journalism! Speculating on a new game before the company announces it is really shady! (S)

That would be "shoddy"

Jesus you are dense. You just got trolled because you have zero sense of humor.

I don't think playing with bots is a good way to improve your skills but really, who cares if people want to play that way? It doesn't affect those of us who play with other people.

and the original CS had bots as well.. POD BOT FTW

So they only interviewed the current crop of neophytes. The players that actually loved the beta(betas 3 through 5.2 played the best of any version) are still getting put by the wayside, as the complaining about the strength of SMGs was mentioned while the tweaked accuracy of the ARs was complained about. Clan play early on was a mixture of MP5, P90(added in beta 4 or 5), and some M4/AK. Beta 6 forward to now it's been mostly AWP/AK or bust, and relatively boring.

Eh skip that stuff... Play GunGame and be forced to be good with every gun.

Hey guess what, slick; CS didn't have bots. Shocking, I know, that the most successful shooter out there didn't come with bots. There are singleplayer games and there are multiplayer games. CS is and forever will be the latter.

"Q: How do I add bots?
A: Bots are built into Counter-Strike: Source. Within your control panel under "Default Config Files" you'll have a Bot.cfg file. You'll need to modify the file to allow bots on your server and you're done after restarting your server."

And then theres how to add bots to a CS 1.6 server:

Good thing they don't exist, eh "Slick"?

It didn't always have bots... but got them later first through 3rd party mods and then much later through an official patch.

You guys are both dumb. HUFF PUFF

Oh, I get it. When CoD is the most successful SP shooter of all time it's crap liked by sheep that should be improved, but when CS is the most successful shooter it's amazing and well-deserved and shouldn't be changed.

Episode 3 wouldn't exactly be new. It would be an expansion pack to HL2, just like Episodes 1 and 2 were.

An expansion still means new content and a new story that hasn't been done before.

I wouldn't exactly call TF2, Portal or L4D quick cash-ins either. In fact, those games were all much more innovative and new than any of the HL2 expansions.

Not in my opinion. TF2 is TF only with a new graphic style. The same goes for Portal 1 (Narbacular Drop), Portal 2 (Tag: The Power of Paint) and L4D (Killing Floor).

Actually it is because I'd rather a developer for a competitive online game not waste time and resources catering to a bunch of douchebags like you all. If you're too lazy to find good servers (or run your own), then go play a game that isn't designed for the explicit purpose of play against other people.

Yep those bots are present for no reason at all, not for new players to learn the basics and practice or anything. They should all just kill themselves not being an insufferable shut in who was instantly good at the game like you.

Whether someone prefers to simply play offline rather than waste their time censoring said idiots really isn't any of your business.

Wow, nevermind. You really are one of the whiniest, most self-entitled douchebags I've met. Thought it was just a text-translation thing, but no, it's all you.

#1) You are not the only gamer out there. Your opinion overrides NO ONE else's.
#2) The game is based on source. The Bot AI is already coded and part of the engine. All they need to do is drop it in as an alternate option. Time and resources are a non-issue.
#3) Demanding that developers cater to you and you only, and raging against the fact that other people might enjoy something that you don't is probably the limit of how childish and self-centered a person can possibly be. Congratulations.

No you are definitely a douchebag if you think playing with bots holds a candle to real people. The last game that had passable AI was Unreal Tournament. Even the worst sentient enemy is better than the best bot.

No one suggested bots play the game as well as people. That's your own foolish addition to this conversation.

The point is, there are too many douchebags playing shooters these days and further that said douchebags detract from the enjoyment gotten from actually playing the game sufficiently that there are times we'd rather play against bots than listen to idiots rant.

Someone else playing with bots totally affects you and is definitely worth insulting them over. You're not socially maladjusted or anything, nope.

PHJF's opinions that he treats like facts while insulting people. Such a sad little man.

They probably prefer to play with Real Dolls instead of real women too.
