The Passing - BOTS worst nightmare.

[zachmagic73]

Anyone else notice how terrible the Survivor BOTS are at The Passing? They can never seem to keep up.

Level 1 - As you exit the bar and enter the stone street that twists and turns upwards, the BOT seems to get stuck in a corner at the beginning of it. It just stands there until you're far enough away for it to warp to you.

Versus - I was playing a friendly versus match last night. I smoked my friend at the very beginning of the campaign after everyone else dropped down. The BOT got back up, then proceeded to stand 3 feet away from my smoked friend and stare at her for 2 minutes. Then another Survivor got Jockeyed and the BOT just ran away to help him, leaving the smoked Survivor to die.

Finale - I was playing a campaign with one other human player so we had two bots. We ran to get a pair of far away gas cans. We both got attacked at the same time by a smoker and hunter. Then we realized that our BOTS were both back by the generator. They remained there until we both died.

It just seems like the BOTS don't really know how to play The Passing...

That is true Valve needs to learn how to program the bots better

Yeah if i recall this correctly i was the first to mention this in the post BillzNoLongerhere put up about what has changed with the new DLC. I noticed this in my first playthrough and i was so angry by the time i got to the port and dont get me started on Vs All im gona say is " I HATE VALVE ATM! " unless they can fix this and make the bots the way they used to be then i will most likely not play L4d2 Anymore

It's not just the passing its all the campaigns they are Dumb in Now and if you were hoping to do expert runs solo then you can FORGET IT!!

I thought the overall preformance of the bots in L4D2 was poor like gone backwards, its incredibly annoying when a jocky pounces and walks you off for miles and bots refuse to help

[Drumrush7]

The only REAL reason why the AI bots are so awful is so that you're many forced to do everything by yourself.
If you want to play with AI FORGET IT!
If you really want to play an interesting game, then play with human players.
If your stuck to AI, don't even bother playing expert, or playing versus, you have no chance.

The AI is meant to be human like. To us it seems like the BOTS are terrible, but for the average player, they make the same mistakes as they do. The BOTS play very similarly to pubs.

Let's not forget: Scavenge finale, the bots most useless finale.

Grab a gas can already, I don't expect you to pour it, but jeez, pick one up for me.

The best is when the bots have one or more person to clear. They just stand there looking back and forth between the people in peril! Many time they'll just stand there until you're all dead.
