Bots ???

[Pogwaffle]

Because I have a crappy internet connection I dont play multi that much.

 

I was wondering how good the bots will be...

 

1:Will they actually fight jedi like(standing ground, that sort of thing) or will they run around crazy?

 

2:Will you be able to udjust there options to the extent of like Unreal Tornament(personality: aggressive, passive etc).

As JO is usung Q3 engine, I would imagine Bots will be a standerd feature in the MP section

Ahhh no more writting and testing of Bots

But Im sure the Mod community will change amend etc, the bots to create better ones

[GonkH8er]

very good bots. very good

[Pogwaffle]

Very Good Indeed (I hope)

There's a Jedi ai that behaves like that, jumps, fight with saber

 

And there's the usual guy who uses normal, ranged weapons....

I too might be using bots although my Net connection isn't that bad I prefer bots.

[gamebooger]

Why's that? Bots are easier perhaps? I read in a preview that the guy kept getting killed by the bots. if they can kill someone multiple times and win then this'll be even a greater game then it already is.....or was....or will be.....whatever.

Due to my slow connection, I'll be forced to depend on bots for competition, especially because of that lightsaber. Only one other option...

I have a 56k that works fine in CS but works liek a retard in UT

Hope jk2 has a bettter netcode than that.

Who remembers jk on servers before it fell to the darkside of m$n who changed it to peer to peer.

Bots can be ok. I use them when it's just me and a friend on LAN, so we can team up. Apart from that I find them too easy. I play 3 or 4 bots on The highest setting on EF and have no trouble winning.

I'm also on a sad net connection, so I may not be playing MP online much. Bots are pretty much essential from my POV, and from what I have read in the interview with Kenn Hoekstra at PCZone, they should be very challenging in JKII...

 

The "Jedi" AI (the enemy lightsaber users aren't technically Jedi, just as Darth Maul wasn't a Jedi) is another matter altogether. Their AI is totally new and from scratch. Their requirements are totally different from those of Stormtroopers. They need to be able to follow you and stick to you and attack as effectively as possible. The path-finding here is difficult enough because they need to be able to jump anywhere you do and follow you anywhere. Aside from that, they need to be able to counter all of your non-saber weapons and, in saber to saber combat, they need to read your attacks and respond with evasive action (whether it be a block, a dodge or some form of acrobatic move). They also need to know when to use their attacks and what kinds of attacks to use (including their Force powers). All of this behaviour is also under the influence of their aggression, which ebbs and flows as the battle goes on, much like lightsaber combat in the movies. With the vast array of saber attacks, defences, acrobatics and special features (backstabs, flip-attacks, saber-locking, etc.), I have to say that this game has the most movie-like lightsaber battles outside of the movies themselves.

 

I am assuming this relates to MP bots as much as the Jedi opponents in the SP campaign. A feature that I hope makes it into the game is the ability to tweak the difficulty setting of the bots, in a similar way to UT. I don't expect them to be anywhere near as configurable (in terms of skins, faces, jumpy, aggressive, dead shot etc...), but if they could also auto-adjust to your playing style and ramp up the difficulty on the fly, it would certainly be very good.

hopefully the bots are better than the ones promised for RtcW... i mean hopefully they are there... anywho, yea, i would defently enjoy sliceing some of them up:)
