[edit] list
Can someone make a list of all the games that have bots? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.225.59.255 (talk) 01:45, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Bot types.
I was doing some copyediting in the "Bot Types" section and noticed the following sentence:
- Unreal Tournament's series bots use an embedded pathnode system in the map to navigate.
What I was hoping to find out is: What is the meaning of the word series in this context? What is a series bot? I suspect that whoever wrote this sentence was actually trying to refer to the Unreal Tournament series, and that there's no such thing as a series bot, but I lack the technical knowledge of computer games to be sure of that. I know I should be bold, but I don't want to introduce an error out of ignorance when my only intention was to correct syntax. —CKA3KA (Skazka) 21:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
- I'm pretty confident the author meant the game series. Wouter Lievens 13:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MUD bots
I'm wondering whether I should add material on MUD bots to this article or another. My choices are MUD client, MUD, and this, Computer game bot. This article is as so far nicely restricted to FPS bots, and I would hate to spoil that.
Well, for now, I'll add material on MUD bots in here. I'll try to write it nicely. If there's reason for an article split later, we can do it then. Santtus 15:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] How intelligent is a game bot?

The link is 403 forbidden :(
Will google cache be acceptable? : http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:P4oBpgx48N0J:www.tcnj.edu/~games/AIGames/papers/Moyer.html+How+Intelligent+is+a+Game+Bot,+Anyway%3F+by+Chris+Moyer&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=2&gl=pk&client=firefox-a
[edit] AFK Gaming Redirect?
Can't see what leaving a MMORPG character continually using a skill to increase stats (eg EQ bard improving wind instrument skill) has to do with a Bot. This is AFK gaming with no bot usage. Why the redirect? Matt 15:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
I totally agree, Matt. I came here looking for information on AFK Gaming as it applies to MMORPGs, not FPSs. :( Bill W. Smith, Jr. (talk/contribs) 20:31, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Age of Empires II does not has any bots built-in.
This game does not has any bots built-in , but the bots listed are made by Artificial intelligence scripters and they are available separately. The game has only one default computer player. So i guess it does not belong in the category of "Games with built-in bots". Acetylcholine 08:25, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Why so positive?
This article seems nothing but positive about bots. Am I the only person to find them hugely anoying? Sometimes it can take ages of connecting to server after server, before I find some real human players. The whole point of going online is to play against other human beings, if I wanted to play against a PC, I'd stay offline. Anyway, if there are more people who find bots anoying, can we put that in? -OOPSIE- 04:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
