Declined Disable the bots!

["Your name here"]

Seriously, I know you people whore out by having "users" show up in the server window, but for gods sake, when the entire red team is made out of heavy\soldier\scouts with pocket medics for everyone with AUTO-AIM enabled, and blue team has a sniper, a single medic, a scout, a spy and engineer, you guys need to disable this shit or at least make a script so teams are at least balanced.

Jesus people, I could have counted no less than 2 heavies, a asshole scout, and at least 2 medics ALL THE TIME.

Because having no one to play with is better than playing with no one.

If you want to get rid of the bots, keep playing. The longer you're there, the more people that will be assigned by quickmatch/join from favorites.

Is that a "I'm too lazy to do anything about it" response or a "we need more players to think we are awesome" type of response?

Yeah, Roman! Can't you force people to play TF2 at gunpoint?

Perhaps I'm not reading your original post carefully enough, but what exactly is your complaint?

I'm asking for a balance tweak, not a ad campaign. When a game is so stacked, you can't even get near the point because of the high amount of heavy\medic bot combos, there's something wrong here. It's impossible to win on a server with bots like that.

Wait, you're having trouble killing the bots? Try different classes. Go spy or if you go Demo with a sticky launcher, you can usually dance around the heavy medic combos.

Might be mad because your bots suck.

In all seriousness, I think we've discussed this before, and the bots aren't even configured to be difficult. In fact, it was.

Here's the tl;dr version:

I'd like to hear more people's opinions on this.

From what people have told me before, bots are too easy even on expert, and they prefer to have as few bots as possible.

Keep in mind that some bots are better than no bots especially for starting the server up. Our Saxton Hale/Fortwars/No crit No spread servers stay empty for vast amounts of time because you cannot play by yourself when you are the first person to connect.

i dont really care. i personally find the bots way to easy. i do know in some servers we need them. some of them we don't/

Bots are too easy and they are dumb. On US29 when not many people are on then the bots go to shit classes like a medic healing a scout (both bots).
In my opinion their difficulty needs to be increased

Also, if you have a few real people on your team a little bit of teamwork can usually nullify the rather simplistic strategies that bots employ.

I have and the bots seem to know where I'm always at or there's 1 human on the other team that shuts me down quickly. I'm asking to have the bots spread out there classes more instead of going all offense all the time. Scout bots are the worst. Humans miss, the bots don't.

When you don't know where the other human on the team is or they just suck, it makes it harder to get past them.

It's Probably not possible to tweak the AI that precisely.

There's a force players to change class script if there's too many engi's or spies and likely one where a script can count the number of bots. If there's 1 or 2 humans left on each team, the bots medic combo to hell, especially on Badlands.

I don't think there's a problem with the bots, personally. The maps are balanced, the bots are designed equal, and realistically you haven't played enough to have a lot of weight on the argument.

Also, as far as your comment on...

Valve has patched said issue and only shows true player counts in servers now. We don't have any kind of bot cloaking because we don't want to get on Valve's bad side. This means that if you joined a server with players, they're either AFK or terrible.

You think people don't have alternate accounts on a F2P game or other Steam accounts? Wow you're not too bright.

No, there have been servers still where the numbers are messed up and this one is no exception either.

Dude spy works great. I cap points so easy as a spy it almosts kills the fun. Sometimes it's easy to kill the bots as a spy to. Gives me a chance to try out my spycicle. And it gets even more fun when the bots try to kill me and i just cloak and get away. It's really easy if i play a soldier. And Osprey is right, lay down a few sticky traps and you will have have no problem with the medic pairs. The only time i had one problem with them is when me and my buddy flatline were playing on Dustbowl and there was a medic/pyro pair. I was a sniper and he was a spy. I had no idea he was near them so i shot the pyro and it went into a frenzy and killed flatline lol. I don't see how people can have problems with these bots. Atleast these bots are better than Nighteam bots. Nighteam bots are like super easy. Atleast these are fun and gives me good practice as a spy.

Insulting people isn't going to get you anywhere, other than cheating or accumulating more drops why would you need multiple accounts? Go ahead and post some of your accounts if you'd like us to see your game experience.
