The other worst part is that if it weren't for all those kinds of servers, in each game there would be at least a single one filled with actual people. People get split around in several bot-infested ones because they make it look on the server browser as if they have players, and so everyone just connects to random ones.
GOD I hate this shit. I tried to play some proper CS:S or 1.6 instaspawn deathmatch for an entire fucking week, checking every day at different times for just a single server that doesn't have half of the players being bots. I only got like 30 minutes playtime of what I wanted.
And yet, there's dozens of classic round-based servers all filled to the brim with actual people. I hate it. Just two years ago I could get on a good DM server in 1.6. What happened?
Anyway, nevermind the scummy-ass deception tactics, there's still server owners that genuinely believe bots are fun to play with. I really don't get it.
I played a fair bit of Battlefield 1942 not long ago, and it had the same thing going on. It's kind of a dead game and tends to only have one server at a time with more than a dozen players, and that server tends to be the same one every time.
The thing is that even with more than 16 players in the server, they still have bots running around. 16 by itself is more than fucking enough to have fun with, even in a larger-scale game like Battlefield. Definitely more fun than having bots that either stare at you for half a minute straight doing nothing or instantly kill you across the map.
On top of that, it's already a fucked up game where getting kills is occasional if you play like I do, so it only makes it worse when you fight against a shitty bot that doesn't feel satisfying in the slightest to win against.
I've had minutes long periods where I only saw bots and not a single player. That wouldn't be the case if there just weren't fucking bots. Aaa.
That game deserves it's own rant. Later.
My phone is probably charged enough. Goodbye computer.
