HOW TO SOLVE THE TF2 BOT CRISIS

[TerranceHood]

Valve you need to listen up. Add your own bots to each server run by you, then have those bots be invincible and target the bad bots to keep them from interfering with players. also auto kick bots and keep a database of known bot names and vacban those accounts. this idea needs refining but could work.

Try and post on the Team Fortress 2 forums.

Just create the most advanced bot AI that is capable of distinguishing inferior bots from other players 4head.

how about you stop playing the game and no more bots

isn't this ur job?

You can't get a bot to target another bot if the anticheat itself cannot detect them.

well you possibly could by calculating reaction time as a player coming out from around a corner that nobody has come from in a while is not gonna be as quick to shoot as if they just saw someone there as they were not expecting that they would have to re aim and then shoot but bots can see you all the time (even fully cloked spys that have been spectating the whole match using the cloke and dagger that nobody remembers that they were even on the enimy team)

so if you have a avarage reaction time of less than a second between clear L.O.S and kill something must be up as even really good sniper players have to aim

Such complex script would make game lag.

The only thing we can do now is to teach newbie how to press F1 to kick the bot and how to regconize them...

Even that won't work.
Free to play accounts' votes don't do a damn thing. It's pointless to have f2p's vote.

There's a bot that says that it's an anti-bot, it joins, and people immediately kick it, so this would probably end the same way as the other one I mentioned
