Bot for CS: Source to be Released
quan74 writes "The folks at Valve have announced that "The official Counter-Strike Bot will be released for Counter-Strike: Source on Monday (January 17th)." This is great news for those of us that have been anxiously awaiting the feature." The new CS bots have been enhanced with some improved pathing, a better understanding of the foibles of grenades, and a more human-like attention system. Details on the bots available on the forums.
Now those of us who are sick of aimbot users, speed hackers and other kinds of cheaters have an alternative besides spending half an hour finding a cheat-free server. So these poor bastards won't have nearly as many fair players to abuse.
You'd think I would've learned by now that just because a story has the words "Counterstrike" and "Source", it doesn't mean that Counterstrike's source code has been released or anything like that. But no, I get my hopes up every time.
This sig is only here so people stop skipping the last lines of my posts.
can the bots say things like 'haha ur ghey', 'pwned', and 'newbee fag' while spraypainting your dead body with a large phallis... and more importantly, will they teabag my corpse? Those are the classic points that make me cherish CS most of all. :/
Get Virtual.
Does this mean people will stop emailing and asking "how do i get ur aimbot to work in cs"?
aimbot = AIM bot, not aiming bot.
This is the same bot thats been in there since the beta, just always disabled. Download the original leak and you'll note the bots are fully functional. It would be different if they even tested it during this time, but instead they just use it to buy time so they can pretend to be doing something good for the community, when instead theyre just rationing out what little they have.
Call me when they do something new.
Pain lasts, kid. Its how you know you're alive. Sometimes I think this growing up thing is just pain management-TheMaxx
So I just got Half-Life 2 and played a little CS: Source over the weekend.
How common are cheaters?
And how do you know.
For instance, I died early in a round and follow one of the players with a high score. I noticed he head shot someone even though it looked to me like he was off.
The other person(who had the highest score) said he is sick of cheaters and left soon after.
Later I followed the "cheater" and he wasn't doing so good, missing plenty of people.
And I have also been accused of cheating though I never have?
Valve has finally created an AI that passes the Turing test.
Is it just me, or the agitated fanbase doesn't know the difference between non-deterministic state machines (which is essentially what these bots are) and AI?
Or, perhaps, you were eager for it to be released.
how do you play with bots? I only get a Find Servers, or Create Server option...
In a feat of unbridled stupidity, Valve named their new game engine "Source" causing confusion on a scale unimagined since Microsoft thought "hmm what shall we call our new SQL server product?", and Ford thought: "'Ka' - that's a great name for a car!"
Really, it ranks right up there with their previous gaff "Our games are Powered by Steam". Righto.
Is pretty easy to spot - just see someone running at warp speed to the extent they've knifed the other teams 2 seconds after spawn.
When i played CS a lot, i was very fond of de_nuke and de_italy. Prodigy is also fun to play, and no, it's not new. I played it on CS 1.5
How about a link to the comic that'll work after Wednesday?
There are only 10 kinds of people in this world... those who understand binary and those who don't
I think my favorite map is Assault, but they've really watered it down since CS went retail. The beta version of CS_assault used to have a sign with the name 'Weaver' on it, and all the hostages were black. i chose to laugh at it, despite being an idaho resident. we're not all gun-toting arians, contrary to popular belief.
there was another... I think it was called cs_seige... but the ct's started on the far side of a canyon while the t's started in a parking garage. I used to love that map, too.
Get Virtual.
seige sucked.
All the t's would just get awps, hated that map
hrm... i might have the names mixed up... was seige the weaver house? i can't remember, now. it's been too long (the last time i played CS seriously was when you could zoom with the M4)

I've gotten to a point where I can usually break even on kills/deaths and occasionally luck out with a 2:1 or 3:1 round.
I've noticed though, that unless you've memorized every single possible camping position and all of the normal routes people take from point A to point B, most of the encounters are pure luck, where whoever snags the hitbox for a headshot first wins.
There are people much more skilled than us of course, who know exactly how to aim and where to aim to produce those headshots much more often, as well as being much better at jumping all around and anticipating what semi-n00bs and n00bs are going to do in a firefight.
Stuff is still a bit strange though, I cannot for the life of me figure out how some people can be nearly 100% accurate with the sniper rifles, VERY RARELY missing, while I can sit there all fucking day and never hit a damn thing.
Shotgun at range is also a bit fucked up, as with the deagle, they're so accurate it's scary.
All your base are belong to Google.
This game is the same thing over and over and over again with a fanbase from hicksville USA and the KKK I can never go into a server and not hear someone say "queer" "fag" "gay" "nigger" "spic" "jew" What a shitty game. This is the most intellegent thing I have ever seen a bot say "Boom lol" that saying something?
Eat sleep die
Almost as good as the real thing...
And the masses cried out, "09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0!"
these bots cheat worse than humans do. anyone else getting his/her ass handed to him/her on 'normal'? my best run was 5 kills total.
Get Virtual.
Has anyone ever hooked up an arena and invited a bunch of bot developers to go at each other, sort of like an AI-based deathmatch? Never mind the in-game bots, as they generally suck. I'm talking about fan built bots.
de_piranesi de_torn (I'm not sure if this one's in CS:S) cs_backalley (again, not sure if this one's in CS:S) de_dust2 (even though it's a bit over-played) Those are some great maps too. :)
wow, yeah i was waaaay off. militia and seige... assault must have been the one with the warehouse, right?
Get Virtual.
Unless it is a blatant lie, I think that it is pretty interesting...
