  • I think bots should have a 1 second delay before they shoot to player when he spawns. If i play 1 vs 1, railgun-olny with godlike bot on Evil Space map i sometimes get killed immediatly after spawn. It's a bit unhuman and unnatural and is some handicap for bot, that player can't reach.

    Hence the "godlike bot skill level".

    I'm not saying anything about your game, but if you've ever played the best in the game then you would know that on evilspace its incredibly easy to do this to even for a human. I have personal experience here. Why? Because like all open maps with a hitscan weapon its too damn easy! He who controls the nex on Evilspace dominates all! :twisted:

  • I know. Yes, nex is poweful there. But even a Shaolin kung-fu master who can catch a fly with chopsticks has no 0 seconds reaction time and such reflex! You just can't hit anyone right when he spawns. It's always at least about 0.5 second until you'll aim properly and hit. Bot aims automatically, so if you spawn near him - youre immediately dead.

    Yeah, thats a fantastic training and a great challenge! So get better and immediately dodge while spawning, aim while dodgeing and frag the bot at the time while he has to wait until the refire rate allows him to frag you. On a minstagib server this is one second. Believe me, this is quite manageable, although it's damn hard to get a fragrun :mrgreen:
