@HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul yeah my thinking is an offline tournaments with and against bots, where you can build and upgrade your team. So you upgrade your team with the reward currency you get from tournaments. Could even make it FIFA like and have bot versions of retired players. Could lure people into learning proper teamplay unknowingly.

[@okanelkin]

I travel for work and often play offline with bots if I can’t get a connection. Some things I’ve wished to see: give bots random gun skins/knives/gloves. Assign weapon slot choices randomly (mp5/mp7, m4’s, usp/p2000, etc). Make bots smarter. Hold sites, don’t push, don’t all go the same way, but kits, respond to audio cues, respond to pinging. Don’t stand in fire.

[@8stormy5]

@@rotua98 So why don't they? If Valve could so easily profit from improving their game, why's it been 10 years without nearly 10 years' worth of improvement? Why don't they release any decent games beyond a single VR tech demo? Why don't they substantially support their games that people still play? It's more profitable to get people addicted to gambling and trinket cosmetics. It's more profitable to yank a 30% commission off of the Steam Store. It's more profitable to keep up the cult of personality that has fans sending death threats and bomb threats to developers for daring to release their games on any storefront that isn't Steam.

[@onestopshopgaming5025]

Love the peep show reference, 'lost knowledge like the pyramids'. Downloading this now

[@cskiller86]

Wow, these bots are great! That synchronized utility throw looks amazing. This brings back some memories. I remember that, when I was a kid, I didn't have internet at home, and I played CS 1.6 with bots. They were called PoD Bots (PoD = Ping of Death). I remember that each map had its own extra file with the bots' waypoints and navigation data. You could download these files from the internet. However, not all maps had waypoint files, especially the custom maps. So, I learned how to create these type of files, mostly by running around the map and manually adding the waypoints. I remember there were different types of waypoints: for normal running, for jumping, crouching, camping etc. You could really make the bots navigate difficult spots if you had the patience. Though it was for nothing, because when they engaged in combat the bots ignored waypoints completely, so they always ended up falling off roofs, cliffs etc.

[@schrank8219]

It's amazing to see Bez still being active. Oh and seems like you forgot to add a card linking to a download page at 11:20

[@gururu1286]

[@Retalak]

I wonder, does the bomb entity being positioned at the player's feet affect the minimap bomb indicator? If so, that would explain why sometimes you'll never see bomb even though they have it.

[@SirEdubardo]

it doesnt, the map shows exactly who is with the bomb even if you are not seeing the bomb

[@Bezimienny_]

No, that issue was only related to bots spotting the bomb. Other game systems see player holding the bomb just fine

[@the_zlatk0]

yeah to clear it up even further, if a player is or isnt the c4 carrier is networked to other players so when you spot him, its not because you actually spotted the bomb on him but rather because the game told you he has it.

I like how Philip is slowly becoming some about-cs-media guy. Keep it up mad lad, I guess only you can keep finding this golden nuggets in (inho) oversaturated with clips comunity.

[@GeeNo_]

Cool video, Might be worth it for Bez to go back to Condition Zero to look at the bot AI there as that's where it was originally developed. I know from experience that the regular campaign mode (Not deleted scenes) does have bots saying things like "I hear something" when enemies are nearby (No shots fired yet). So there may be differences between that game and source/go that he can look to exploit.

[@krumz90]

That's part of the old bot chatter that was stripped out of the game 3 years ago unfortunately. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r6O9f6poiKaDY6s

[@StoneColdza]

Would've been cool to add the ability to see which bot is talking, like Condition Zero had as I sometimes don't hear their callouts. But still awesome that they're chatting and spotting in real time, huge improvement over the original CSGO bots!

[@DEO8976]

It did soured my view on the game after the custom radio commands were disabled, since it is useful in communicating and callout making in a typical disastrous lobby. (As well as a primarily foreign language speaking one) My muscle memory on using the Z, X, and C keys to bring up the radio menu since CS 1.6 no longer serves it’s full potential and the radial marker menu is just to clunky for me to effectively utilise when the pace had increased and having your viewpoint occluded and staring at a specific angle just to properly give a callout could easily had been improved and supplemented by updating the standard in-game radio commands, but alas, they are to remain as dreams forevermore.

[@fakeplayer9088]

[@BSS44r]

Perhaps the AI should be given the privilege to remember which site the enemy went to before and make an assumption of where they will strike next based on that fact? If that is even possible.

[@ivan_valerian]

7:22 this is the exact reason why I watch philip lol 10% more effort for 100% more entertaining videos

[@retro1x201]

8:12 this is probably because CSGO began life as a CSS Xbox port and then shortly after they just decided to say “fuck it let’s make a new counter strike game” and then GO was born (funny how CSGO was made for consoles but the console port hasn’t been updated in nearly a decade)

[@TeaMaster420]

I like how you call him bez xd

[@ixellZz]

As someone who at this point has played hundreds and hundreds of bot matches, it's amazing to see progress towards making the bots behaviors better. While you can change settings in the botprofile to make their aim faster and get more difficult bots who can gun you down instantly or do a 180 and kill you across the map with an awp, it is rather unfortunate they have so many shortcomings. One thing I always make sure is that bot_allow_grenades is at 0, otherwise they like to just hold them until they see an enemy which will get them killed with the reaction time changes made to them. Another problem is simply that they are set to aim for center of mass, in this case they very frequently lock onto the pelvic region of enemies, which doesn't allow them to have consistent good fights on ramps or headshot angles. The last thing they are also bad at is clearing sites, no matter what if they run to the wrong bombsite, they still have to clear it, but will always walk into the correct bombsite even if it was the first choice, and that need to physically touch the site to figure out its the wrong one can waste a load of time, especially on large maps such as old cache (haven't used bots on the new one) which in turn has lead me to also always use mp_c4timer 60 instead of 40. So seeing that it could well be possible that bots could do their best at using utility and aiming for headshots, and properly holding and taking sites has me excited. It would be truly wonderful to one day see a match when both sides could craft plans and smoke sites, flash out and hit nice shots, with no hiccups and running perfectly. Great video 3kliks P.S The bots get stuck on the stairs in sparity spawn occasionally.

[@sambird7]

You mean I can finally play a decently challenging game of CSGO with being called a slur? WOOOOAH

[@Samza92]

Actually in rare cases, sometimes bots do swap weapons with players. If i throw AWP for example to bot who has AK/M4, he will trade it to that AWP. Funny little thing noticed when i was just goofing around in my own server.

[@ahreuwu]

that's probably because they see that weapon as superior and automatically pick it up, causing them to "drop you" their previous weapon

[@queuedjar4578]

I'm not entirely sure how this works, but they also sometimes drop weapons that were picked up while a player controlled them then buy their own preferred weapon.

[@TheCatOfWarCSGO]

Yeah but not guardian gamemode bots, that's the key. Normal competitive bots will swap weapons but they don't have the ability to do the grenade setup throws and advanced strats that bez is implementing

[@TechnoSparks]

Oh no now the skill floor is raised, I might actually be worse than bots!

[@lowiet8979]

*BOT Jeff sending regards* This video reminds me of the bots in cs 1.6 and how smart they were. They had different skills and strategies, and some were noobs while the others were great. They played like real humans. They reacted differently to recoil and attacks while keeping the objective as a priority. They also could contact each other and follow orders (and break them too) like real humans. That's why I still think that the bots in 1.6 were the best bots I've ever seen

[@alanmix8183]

is it a "mind-blowing" solution because the bomb entity is on his head?

[@arrowghost]

I'm a casual player and mostly play with bots, but what I hate the most about bots being the random grenade throws. Worse of all, when a bomb goes off, they unable to use their instincts to know it's not there, like Dust2 Bombsite A, if they're nearby at the bottom but the Ts planted at B, the stupid bots must "investigate" at A's ground zero to check on the bomb instead of listening to the beeping sound or use their instinct knowing it's at B when A is already clear. Another problem is their aiming problem, when I die and spectate them, they suck and couldn't aim right even on Hard. CSS is the most OP of all by headshot all the time like pros.

[@AtomicSpeedFT]

This is pretty fascinating.
