    Which game are you playing through Steam?
    I know Counter-Strike 1.6 had Bots, and the option
    to use them was right there in the main menu when launching
    a new game.
    I don't think TFC , DoD, Half-Life or Opposing Force had bots though.

    Wow thats abit odd. Why would they roll back and remove the bots?
    I haven't installed Steam yet but I will be in the next few days.
    Maybe you could try the official Steam forums, or the official Counter-Strike
    forums and ask the players?
    Good luck with that, you've just given me another reason to wait before installing
    Steam again <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Actually they removed the bots for a little while so that they could be improved and put back in during a later patch. They shall return!
    There was no real problem with the bots, Valve just didn't think they were as good as they could be, and figured that they should be left out of the non-beta for a little while. Trust them, every delay they have ever made has or will turn out good. Looks at HL, it was delayed a year and its the best game ever.

    Actually I hear bots are going to come with CZ, as they are one of its main selling points. Why would VALVe give their bots away for free when they can sell them witha game?

    Actually Supra, the CS steam bots and the CZ bots are coded by two completely different teams
    CZs bots are done by Relic, and CS1.6 bots are done by <a href='http://www.turtlerockstudios.com/forums/csbot/viewtopic.php?t=76' target='_blank'>The guys over at Turtle Rock Studios</a>
    CZs main selling point is supposed to be its improved graphics along with its single player missions.
    To add to that, CZs bots are designed for the missions only. They aren't multiplayer bots, they are just SP AI. made for the missions. The turtle rock bots are for Multiplayer only, and are able to adapt to maps and respond to radio messages.. They are actually quite cool.
    Both work for what they do, in their own respective.

    You can't really expect Bots to catch on to the basis of Crazytank... I mean, they are TACTICAL BOTS in what is supposedly classed as a TACITCAL SHOOTER (even if the bots are the only ones that actually try to use tactics of any sort). Most custom maps that aren't one of nippers crazy messed up maps work quite well with the bots. Think of the bots as people just introduced to CS. You know, people who actually think the majority of the players actually use tactics and the radio comms. They slowly learn the maps and work as a team and try to accomplish the map objectives, insted of ramboing off to kill everything.

    Oh, and to my knowledge, there is also a THIRD offical CS bot in the making for the Xbox CS, this one done by Valve/the CS team... I'm not completely sure, but supposedly its a different bot from the ones in CZ and Steam.. I'll go try to find out some stuff about it

    yeah, but they tactically charged each other like mad, while swimming
    and none of them noticed the big shiny tank-on-boat chasing them down
    it's a ... unique experiance

    As I said.. they aren't built for nippers insane maps...
    They don't work well with func_vechicles, specficily ones that are large and make it hard to attack the people inside from outside.
