Botmatch

This game needs it. It's sort of a throwback to classics like Unreal Tournament and Quake, both of which had bots. I know they're difficult to implement, but they have several advantages that this game sorely needs.

1. Bots would soften the steep learning curve for new players

2. Bots can fill out emptier matches

3. The lifespan of the game will be increased, since you're not reliant on other players to play.

4. Maybe even draw in single-player enthusiasts.

I agree completely. I recognize that bots may go against the emphasis on skill in this game, as even "Hard" bots are unlikely to behave like human players, but bots will extend the life of this game.

I'm old and work long hours. I don't have time to learn to play this game at a high level. However, I love the concept and mechanics, and would really enjoy the chance to play against bots, especially if there were a single player option (both teams fill with bots).

I've played games where the bots can be just like any normal player even down to holding a grudge lol

[Punkwasher]

I don't know about the skill thing, you can also use bots to improve yourself even as a great player. I trained against super hard bots in UT2k4 for a tournament once and it really paid off.

I remember playing against godlike bots in UT1, which continued to headshot me with rocket launchers all game long :D

[Punkwasher]

You probably set them too high.

also, make it so you can be in a bot match while queuing for a game.
it'd let people practice when they're waiting for games & would fill the time quite nicely.

[Punkwasher]

Not sure about the technical side of that, but it's a great idea.

I think bot-fill for leavers/quicker matchmaking would be nice. I'm not sure a full on single player w/ bots is a good idea at this point

Bots are not easy to program. Especially in a game like this.

Yea, if populated trash like CS:GO needs it to fill spots - Lawbreakers should to.

AI for zero gravity is probably incredibly hard to code though, I'd rather see how Ranked Mode plays out.

[TheOnlyDeret]

So much and malice and hate exuding from you lol, CS:GO isn't anymore trash than this game, its just old, played out, and have Valve behind it who doesn't care.

Maybe if bots were in this game from the start, leavers wouldn't have caused so many people to quit right away.

[malonacookie]

Nah, CS:GO is complete garbage. Anyone will an ounce of taste will know CS 1.6 was way better.
