These bots were first featured on Counter-Strike: Condition Zero, and they're actually very smart. They do respond to radio commands, most of the time. Each bot has it's own stats (bravery, teamwork, skill, etc.) -- if he has a low teamwork score, he's more likely to ignore your commands and just do his own thing.

Also, these bots can work online, as far as I know. I too hope there will be some way to filter them out. I hate loading up Unreal Tournament 2003/2004 and finding a nice low ping server, only to discover all the other players are bots.
