After devs fix everything important...

Would there be a nice escape map in our futures? I know the community can make some pretty awesome maps, but i don't think any will live up to the caliber you guys put into official maps. god i miss playing escape maps

I also love playing escape maps, but I hate when everyone else on the server only wants to go DMing.

I'd also like to see some quality escape maps!

Escape maps w/ spy will be very interesting on FF.

Prez turns a coner - stabbed. Prez calls for medic - medic stabs prez. Prez hides behind HWguy - stabbed. LOL.

As long as bots are on the bottom of the dev's priority list and there is a way to disable them from being in online servers I would be all for it. Other than that...please no.

yeah if people use bots again in servers, it may as well be the death of good pub server play. we all know people want to have popular servers but it wont happen with bots.

imo player to server ratio should be 2:1 atm, its 1:1 pretty sad.

lol do a commercial like Truth.
bot companies once said that bots dont kill servers, and would close business if they did, last month CEO admitted that they actually do cause servers to die. *speakerphone WELL WERE HERE AND READY TO MOVE YOU OUT!

I think bots are a good idea. It would certainly get a lot of people i know up to par. Their main complaint seems that they feel useless because everyone is moving so fast.

I would like to suggest a sticky with "Bot Free Servers" tagged on it. And have the server admins include "NO BOTS" in their server name, like they do on css and dods.

lol i was talking about bots for escape maps (the best tfc could do was turrets with a custom model), but you go and derail it with the old "bots killed my father and raped my mother" discussion sigh

just an idea

how about some hide n seek maps? i was thinking make all the seekers the civilian's and the person hiding be a spy with cloaking only ability, or since cloaking is possible maybe just use a hw mdl, and give him cloak. Or any class doesnt really matter, as long as he can cloak.

Why should normal servers change their names? Maybe the bot ones should name theirs "BOTS."

Bots are fine with single player, but in multiplayer, it kills the fun. That is the whole point of "multiplayer."

I don't mind a few bots. I think they help newer players out more sometimes than a human player. Its a problem when you have servers full of bots though.

Example: A bot playing engineer builds a SG and defends it, never goes on a shotgun rampage just stays with his SG.

A human player playing engineer builds a SG, upgrades it to level 3, leaves it and spams EMP, dies, repeat his SG gets killed/sabotaged.

A new player watching the bot defend his SG is likely to become a better engineer. This isn't a 100% thing for all we know this new player is a better Soldier than he is an engy but it is an example that a bot can't completely ruin the game. Bots are so set in what they do that a new player can eventually catch on to what they should do instead of becoming pro yard dm bastard.

Steam has a search field for no bots. Use it to filter out bot-filled servers.

I think the bots are being developed for the tutorial system. Correct me if I'm wrong :P
