We have just updated the bots running on the open bot beta servers. The update happens on our side so you won't need to download anything from Steam in order to play against the new bots.
Bot version 0.2
The most noticeable changes include:
- Reduced shooting accuracy slightly for all weapons, more so for shotgun
- Bots fight more defensively and make better use of cover
- Bots can switch to a closer target when encountering multiple enemies
- Bots use grenades more conservatively
- Bots can do tactical reloads
- Bots react better to control points being captured
- Bots have slightly reduced ability to detect enemies over longer ranges
- Code now takes silent mode and thruster state into account for enemy detection
This is an open beta. Anyone with a copy of Shattered Horizon can join the Open Bot Beta servers. For more information and to give feedback please visit the forums.
