Other possibilities include the fairness of using bots: if you get 7 players together and the 8th ends up being a bot, that could be a big help or a huge hindrance to the team stuck with it, depending on the AI cruelty chosen. Or they just can't get bots to think strategically. I agree that some sort of team mapping feature should be utilized in-lobby. Even if you can't draw them in real time, players could have the option of making a playbook showing their favorite ways to tackle a given map, which your teammates can see. |
i've never known bots to be as good as a real player,.. but in the games that use them i prefer a bots presence if for no other reason than to be a meat sheild. if a couple people quit early and you're outnumbered 2 to 1 the match sucks a lot for the team missing players. it also gives the title a better shelf life. i still go back to fat princess from time to time and without bots the game would be unplayable. i can't manage to get a match with more than half the players being real in years. bots means at least i can play (even by myself) from time to time.
neat idea actually.
