I jsut bought this game. And once again I am burned by my alziness in reaserching games and by a Industry that seems to be less and laess concerned with a Quailty product.
This game while very good in Single Players. Provides no bots for Multiplayer gaming. Making it virtually useless for my gaming tastes. 30 plus dollars flushed cause these guys left out a basic feature I assumed would be included.
What a ripoff.

That's too bad. You really gotta scope out a game before you buy. I never buy a game now without waiting a week or two to see what the community reaction is to it.
No bots? That's odd.
I don't play online. I had been playing Counter Strike Condition Zero offline for sometime now, until something seemd to happen to my install of the game and in uninstalled it a couple of days ago.
I had played through all the scenarios of the game, once, and once through all the death match levels on moderate, and I had all but one death match levels completed on the hard level. I had a favorite level that I loved to replay over and over and used it to kill many hours of time over the past year.
CSCZ is not a WW2 style game but the combat on the death match levels, even solo, is intense on the hard level.
Valve is no longer partnered with VuGames, but I'm sure that there are still copies of this one out there. Keep in mind though that this game is about 1 year old already.
The scenarios are pretty interesting too, the one in the skyscraper is very good.

I decided to Try BF 1942 instead cause I know it had bots. But thats a really porr game. I guess the popularity comes from the mods. i am reaserching those now.
COD does have online play but theres so much internet cheating that the experince is no good anymore. I am in the process of attemtping to add LAN center to my Hobby store. I think there is a market for people wanting a more controlled multiplayer enviroment.

All the cheating is one reason I avoid playing online. Either that or some jerk going around fragging his own teammates.
I pretty much stick to solo play nowadays.
Setting up a MP Lan sound like a good idea, although you may need someone moderating the game that knows that particular game to be effect and to be able to detect cheating.

yeah the computers will have permission restriction and a attendee to set it up. No outside disks nor interconnection. This way the install will stay "clean" of modified code. Other sellign poits is a good LAN config can be lag free, and of course the social interaction of in person gaming.
Game rules wil reflect both the Frag happy free for all crowd and those who want some good military type tactical gaming with coordination proper units and military objectives.(whom seem overlooked alot IMO)

im not sure if any COD servers have bots, but i love the game ive not noticed any cheaters in it. but i dont play it enough. i like the expansion as it adds tanks to some maps. and a few new weapons.
i know for cs source and dod there are bot servers, not sure about dod source as its pretty new.
im just not a fan of bots unless im bored out of my skull, the AI and pathfinding for them is dodgy at best, either the bot is to easy to kill and gets stuck, or they never miss while shooting you across the map like nothing.
