Sometimes I feel like playing classic CS against bots so I play Condition Zero with the bots that come with it, which were written by Turtle Rock, iirc. They are not that bad but they are somewhat primitive. As an example I've found that in de_dust2 the terrorists are heavily biased towards planting in B. That kind of trivialises the game if you are a CT.

As an alternative I decided to install the PODBot bots over 1.6 and, well... they are much better in some regards, and then much worse in others. What really grinds my gears is the inability of terrorists to even plant the bomb at all. One would think that the primary focus of a bot who is carrying the bomb alone in a bombsite would be to plant the bomb. Nope. Very often the bot takes the bomb with it for a stroll. And then some bots get stuck strafing right and left in the same line until the end of the round. Lots of stuff like that.

My first instinct was to assume that the bots were using automatic waypoints or something like that, but it seems PODBot comes with its own set of manually generated waypoints which shouldn't have these issues.

Are my PODBots broken somehow? Or am I expecting too much from 20 year old bots? Any alternatives? Thanks!
