Author Topic: List some good singleplayer vs bot games  (Read 2709 times)

Ya know while online games are fun and all, sometimes I like to "pretend" I'm in an online match but with ai instead, and no I'm not talking about campaigns or anything, I mean something that treats the ais like they're another player like me. These can be games that just have it based around it or as an option or feature, and not really as a simple training mode that only has very few options because those are boring. I also prefer if there were a good amount of customization in the match you can play, as it's another reason I like playing with ai.

Some games that come to mind are:
  • TF2 (kinda)
  • CoD Black Ops 1 and 2 (combat training)
  • Section 8: Prejudice (even though the official multiplayer doesn't exist anymore there's still bot matches and you can earn most of the unlocks purely in singleplayer)
  • Battlefield 2 and 2142 (although the vanilla game only comes with 16p sized maps and has 15 bots, there are mods that unlock the full maps and allow you to put in more bots)
  • NeonXSZ (6DOF where the whole game is based around ai acting as human players which is superb, seriously if you're looking at this looking for something like an mmo but not, get it)
  • Multiwinia as well as most RTS games (multiwinia is a non-complicated RTS set in the world of Darwinia, also has power-ups in crates, and because of those the game is chaotic as hell)
  • Unreal Tournament 2004 (not sure about the other ones because I just have this one, but they did very well with bots. On the highest difficulty they will kick your ass if you didn't play it enough)
You get the point. Idc what genre or perspective it is, but if it has bots that get treated like players, go ahead and name 'em.

counter strike source has some... decent ai? they talk which is cool but they're pretty dumb, tactically

oh yeah I was gonna list that one but completely forgot
and another note since you brought it up: I don't care too much if they're not as smart as actual players, just if they're decent enough

Heavy eventing in Blockland

should they be online pc games orrr

I used to play multiwinia years ago.



every halo game
especially halo reach and halo 3: odst, because they have firefight modes.

gmod
also multiwinia is still fun, wish more people played it though :(

there was an old game that never came out of beta called "Phosphor"


I know that Red Faction II had a pretty neat bot system. The bots have their own stats, upgradable abilities, and they can have their own playstyle.

Super Smash? Euhuuhuuhuu...

Timespliters 2.

Also, a bit different, but The Ship is good too.
