Single player in CS?

[cfuk]

I know this sounds like a really daft question, but i brought the Half Time Generation box set with Counter Stike. I was wondering can i play the game offline? some one said that i maybe able to download a bot or something. Is this true?

Thanks

Yeah, you can download POD bots and Create A LAN server to play on.

That's the only option really, provides a bit of entertainment anyway

[cfuk]

where do i download the bots from?

[directhex]

google for pod bot.

Counterstrike Condition Zero and Counterstrike Source come with bots.

[cfuk]

i had Counterstrike: Condition Zero but i can't find it

i'll have a look on google for the bots now

If you have hl2 (and therfore css) there are nice bots already there that even talk

The bot AI in Counterstrike Source is amazing...

[mrpete]

is that sarcasm... or not?

yeah you can play with bots offline, but its nothing like the online experience

the bots are too easy to kill, not a challange at all. Even on expert mode they dont produce much of a threat, but thats only because they are almost cheating at that point

they are good to learn from , but once you have any skill you wont want to play with bots...ever

I think the bot AI is truley a good effort and they serve their purpose as a 'trainer' very well. No point in them being difficult - we have real players to provide that challenge. What Counterstrike has always cried out for IMO is a decent learning curb.

theres not really much AI there tbh, all waypoint based movement, minimal AI (mostly scripted)..

but yes they are a good effort cant see how they are any good for training though, even for new players
