Yeah, Doom = DEAD.
That's why everyone who was invited to the "Doom 3 Invite Only" Tourn decided NOT (I can caps to!) to do it.
QL bots suck. If you go play QL bots and not regular people you will suck more then ever. If you really want to play some comp in QL hit me up and I can give you the password to the CTF pickups. W0Rd

Status of Bots in D3.
There is a D3 mod called SABot (Stupid Angry Bot) written by TinMan. This was never "complete" but I do have a copy of the code and know it can be made to work.
BUT - it is all written in DoomScript which performs poorly. The scripted SABot is incorporated in to the 556mmFMJ D3 mod. Nivelxe from the DC (Doom Chronicles) mod did most of that integration work and improved things a lot, but it still less than ideal. And, as the name implies, pretty Stupid.
For DC itself Nivelxe is reworking the entire bot framework to improve performance. He plans to make that available to other mod teams when he has completed DC. His bots are going to be much smarter with dynamic goal adjustment and all sorts of clever stuff.
As for EMZ, I certainly won't be using SABot due to the performance issues. It is possible that I could integrate the new DC bots at some time in the future, but even that is unlikely.
My reasons for modding are generally because it is a fun learning exercise so if I want bots I'd probably carry on with the prototype bots code I started way back in 2007!

Also, have to LOL at this being a "Poll"! Like if everyone votes "Yes" Bots will magically appear.
