ive never seen so many servers in any ut predeccesors where such tons of bots are configured. if i want to fight bots i can do it offline but online they are always ruining the game. i think most ppl agree here. imo the best solution is 1 bot so someone can join a server and do some fighting till other ppl join.

I think it maybe because theres only a few people plaing UT3 online so at least they have something to do while they wait for others.
I play instagib ctf so you can imagin, theres not many if any sometimes. Most people wont join a server if no1 is already on a playing, but i'll join my fav insta servers and wait for people, sometimes upto an hour! lol.. Anyhow, i'd much rather play a few bots online and get some practice while I wait for real players, and the some of the servers I play on the bots leave when real players join. -
yeah, that's right...Originally posted by [Insta]-Loque View Post
I never join empty servers even if the ping is absolutely perfect. I don't want to have nothing to do on a map.
Even maps with only 1 player on them are sometimes empty because the guy waited himself and has gone afk and when you find him he stands somewhere and then you kill him and he doesn't respawn and you're all alone again.
When there are bots on the server you at least have some action even of nobody is playing. The only downside is that they are mostly a) TOO MANY (3 to 4 are enough; I always configure 3 when I host) and b) configured on average difficulty and that's too easy...Comment

I agree with that, if the bots are "Skilled" thats more "Human Like" to play against. Having Adept or Insane bots is just poo, no human player can frag you before they've finished spawning! its so annoying, especially in iCTF lol!Originally posted by Der_Schreiner View PostComment

What? Godlike bots still aren't human enough...there are plenty of human players who can kill the same person off the spawn over and over. Bots ruin games because they are free kills.Originally posted by [Insta]-Loque View PostComment

Perhaps we aint playing the same game then, you can clearly tell when a bot just nails you from miles away when it just spawned, what I was saying was it doesn't feel natural because it aint, and bots never get respect a human player would, its just an annoyance if they're too good or like you said a free kill..Originally posted by Bebo View PostComment

My sentiments exactly.. Im not a fan of bots really. But until more real players get on the servers, then bots are often better than nothing at all.Originally posted by [Insta]-Loque View Post
The only time I like to have a bot on, is purely for team balance mostly. And even then, only 1 is required at any one time. So if the bot skill is moderate, it doesn't cause any real problems.
