It would be so cool to be in a massive war, 1000 bots (and 16 players) on each side, aircraft flying over, tanks massing... you would end up with trench warfare on maps like dust storm.... entire flanks of artilliary with ranged cannons would bombard areas of the map into submission before the infantry move in to clear up.... this would be freakin awesome :D
I direct your attention to the second post in this thread: http://www.halflife2.net/forums/showthread.php?t=94040
Im kinda new so ill just thow this out here and hope for a good response. I think the game makers should just focus on getting the game code squared away and to de-bug it as much as possible before adding in new features. And a navy would be awsome! You could even include units like SEAL and other special forces. As well as SAS for the Air Force. on topic- I think the bots would just need to be able to do the basics. Such as, tell which direction they are facing and if there is a wall in front of them-to be able to set a path to traverse the terrain and not get stuck or lost. Then more advanced AI could come into play. Such as operating vehicles and building a base. There thats my 3&1/2 cent. Hope for a good response from this :D
