I don’t like playing with people I want bot functionality to return. I got so much fun out of quake, unreal tournament, counter strike and battlefield without ever logging in to online play. I could mod the shit out of the games and still have bots work and even use the mods properly so people were never needed.
I admit I do enjoy games that had built-in bot options if I didn’t want to hear a nazi manifesto from some on lobby chat.
Speaking of Nazis. Used to play killzone for PS2, would put 7 enemy (helghast, hamfisted Nazi analogs) bots, and only 20 lives. So I had to run around and find an unlucky bot, alert the rest, prepare for them to locate me, pew pew some more, repeat. Would use the shotgun and the sniper and the m16 looking gun with the under barrel grenade launcher. Got good at going 7:1. Pretty sure it’s the strat I unintentionally used during bops2. S12, fast mag, anti uav perk, reptile, scavenger, tactician(I think?), fog grenades. Premise was to only let the enemy know roughly where I was and they couldn’t locate me unless I gave away position by using smoke or shooting. I could flush out campers and draw nearby enemies into my perma smoke to get a kill streak ez.
I think most of em were Nazis too, happy I could be one of the ones to get them to rage quit. Either way funny that more things change the more they stay the same :p.
