Unreal Tournament Bots

Sep 05, 1999 7:52am CST tags: CliffyB, Epic Games, Unreal Tournament
A post by CliffyB of Epic Games to the GT messageboard talks about the impressive sounding bots that we'll be getting to play with in Unreal Tournament. Can't say I was ever an Unreal DM player but I did miss around with the original bots in Unreal long enough to know that they were pretty darn cool. My all time favorite Unreal weapon is still that cum gun. (I dunno what the real name was.. it's the cum gun damn it!)

Bots will usually group together and enter a base attacking as a group, instead of one at a time. It is possible to just defend and have your bots do all the dirty work, but depending on the skills of the competition that could take a long time.  In Assault, I often tell the bots to cover me, and get ready to enter a heavily guarded room and then tell them all to ATTACK. I watch them go into the room and mayhem ensues and they manage to take out a wad of foes, which makes my job easier.
