Awesome bots, to my surprise!

[joogrr]

Yes I can enjoy a relaxing botmatch once in a while and I bought RS2:V when I learned you could add them to a handful of maps. Well nobody told me they actually work with almost all maps now! At least most of the territory maps I tried except Resort, unless you capture the beach then bots work great on that one too :) Apart from a few glitches with bots randomly despawning in front of you on some maps, everything works great.

I tried most of the maps with 30 bots. Not sure it there is a magic number or not but that seemed to work well. Bots capture objectives, defend, attack, use smoke, set traps and call in support seemingly tactically. There must be a ton of work behind all this!

Are devs aiming to support bots officially? Maybe make a SP version like they did with Red Orchestra 2? RO2:SP still have some of the best bots around and on some of these maps, that could be true also for RS2:V. Needs more testing.

Try it yourself. Pick any vnte-map of your choosing and add 30 bots. Try quangtri for example. Good luck :)

Man I love this game. Hope they never patch it out

Sounds like bunch of bs. They never were capable of doing anything except stand in pile and aimbot you sometimes

He’s telling the truth.

The developers were at one stage seeing if an offline mode could be viable. So they outsourced the bots to another team. In the end it would seem they didn’t think it worth it to add bots. But what work had been completed was added to the game.

So the bots are capable of doing all the OP says. But they do still get stuck easily and of course can’t do things such as fly helicopters.

Thanks for the clarification. It was pretty obvious that a lot of work has been put into these bots.

Launch Steam in offline mode.
In the main menu, press F3.
Type "switchlevel" and the name of the map.
Once the map has loaded press F3 again and type "addbots 32" or any number of bots you want. Works on most official maps. Try these:
vnte-quangtri
vnte-operationforrest
vnte-cuchi
vnte-dongha
vnte-mekong

Can you please explain me the thought process of feeling that a feature that singlehandedly keeps Red orchestra 2 alive these days, is "not worth the effort" ?
No wonder this game failed.

Because they wanted it to be done properly or not at all.

Not to mention RO2 isn’t kept alive from the bots. RO2 is kept alive because people enjoy RO2.

It is kept alive by bots, stop spewing nonsense. People enjoy it cause with 3-5 people on the server you can still have an engaging and fun game, instead of dodging aimbotting hax from weird asian players with 6 vs 9 lame exp farming match. Moreover, people don’t want to join servers that are even half-full. With this game you either get full servers or nobody at all. Not only this, but people from other countries are forced to join servers that are far away because they are full and the servers near them are empty because nobody plays RS2 in their country or their playtime is not during peak hours, and their godawful ping screws the game up for everyone.

If they could have spent two more minutes and worked in a setting to filter maps by “bots allowed” and vice-versa, this game could have been much more playable.

I would sacrifice the server-killer (aka resort) to have some bots any day.

This so much!

Ro2 was killed by bots......botfarming to grind level and weapons

[The Cunning Fox (raZoleg)]

As if levels arent farmed in RS2. Besides, only a few people farmed in RO2. The benefits outweight the cost. Also also you don’t get as many points killing a bot afaik.

Go to any semi-empty server with like 5 people, what do you see? Guys recapping points to farm exp.

‘Xcept now you don’t need to level your guns. Forget killing bots that might have required at least a little bit of skill. Now all you need is just to stand still in a cap and voila — level 99.

All of this is easily fixed — give no exp for killing bots, or give so little that it is negligible. Like 1 point a kill. This isn’t rocket science.

[Drifto616]

idk if its a bug but servers have been empty 90% of the time so bots would be nice

[[40-1] SturmTurm]

@razoleg. I have never tried out bots in either RO2, RS or RS2 but afaik you don´t get any xp if the server is not whitelisted and online. I could be very wrong here.

[The Cunning Fox (raZoleg)]

RO2: people farmed weapons on bots, that’s why they don’t wanna include them. All other reasons are just a coverup. Also, the bots can’t fly well methinks.

Noone gives a ♥♥♥♥ about people farming any levels. Atleast you can still hop on RO2 with a couple friends everytime you want, in this game you either get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ by vets playing nothing but Vietnam, or you can enjoy the rest of the dead game.
