PunkRabbit: some good suggestions there. I see nothing wrong with adding options to a game which are turned off by default, either- if just to get more people itnerested.
But I think having the bots navigate all areas of the map and understand lifts, buttons, etc. is essential. On the Slime (Revisited?) map there is an elevator that is never used by bots so I bounced one onto it to see what would happen: It just sttod there once reached the next floor, shooting and all, but wasn't able to actually get off the elevator.
I believe in the potential of these bots to be as good (at their game) as the CS bots are at theirs with a bit of work. Thanks for the game.
