Valve's Counter-Strike - Condition Zero Exposed

Posted by simoniker on from the can't-see-through-no-walls dept.

Thanks to 1UP for their CGW-sourced interview with Counter-Strike: Condition Zero's newest developers, as Mike Booth of Turtle Rock Studios is quizzed about their work since they "took over development of CZ around the end of July." The recently-completed game, which Valve have used a multitude of developers on, has now added the Official Counter-Strike Bot, and bot teams "actually speak to each other using a new voice chatter system equipped with hundreds of lines of dialogue", and even think they're sitting at their own PC: "...when a bot does react to a stimulus, it must actually move a simulated mouse and with an appropriate amount of aiming error."

    So does this mean the bots can go online, and download aimbots too?

    Does this mean it has to leave when its mom says to go to bed? Because that would definitely make me think I have the real CS experience.

    "actually speak to each other using a new voice chatter system equipped with hundreds of lines of dialogue"

    Will the bots speak in English, or 'l33t-sp33k'? And I don't think hundreds of lines of dialogue really count if half of those lines is the same sentence said over and over just by different people.

      I can just imagine it:

      YOU ARE 3-1-3-3-7. *shudder*

      Anyone else not thrilled about playing CS with Stephen Hawkings all the time? :/
