Official TF2 Bots (still a WIP)

[ErikKiller]

From: http://www.tf2.com/

With the success of the AI systems of Left 4 Dead, we've been continuing to develop these technologies to create new kinds of game experiences. Team Fortress 2 is an excellent "sandbox" for explorations of this sort, and we've been quietly doing so for much of this last year. Some of the results of these explorations are TF "bots" — AI-driven player proxies with simulated humanlike senses, reaction times, and tactics. Although the TFBots are not yet complete, they play a pretty decent game of King of the Hill.

We thought you might enjoy testing your skill against these work-in-progress digital killing machines.

Your thoughts?

played with them, they are OK

I think they need to miss a little more.

Tried them out as well on koth_viaduct.
When i got hurt down to an unpleasant amount of HP I ran to a nearby medic who was healing a full HP Heavy. I shouted medic a few times and even tried standing in-between them. The medic just ignored me and ran off with his heavy. For a moment I thought there was something strangely familiar and realistic about that...

But on a more serious note, the bots are kinda too predictable. They always pick the same places to stand, bots with the same class always choose the same routes, medics are helpless on their own and just stand in the spawn.
But I suppose in general (since they are still WIP) they are OK.

In other words, guys, VALVe has been secretly following people around and tracking them to program their bots and then putting the bots on public servers for years.
