Group Fortress 2 has a problem with bots, but not all of its bots are there for cheating. Some have actually been configured to hunt down the cheaters.
Obviously this has been a thing in the TF2 community for a little while now, but its just after this Tweet that the larger world got some insight into how its all been taking place:
Among other efforts, its the Bot Extermination Service thats getting the most attention, with the production of a bot thats able to recognise which players are humans and which are cheat bots in a round, and only target the bots:
As Eurogamer point out, this isnt an ideal service for the bot issue, since the areas being taken up by these “good” bots are using up space on a server that might be utilized by a human player, which in turn produces a situation where games can potentially have plenty of bots going after other bots rather of people playing the video game.
G/O Media might get a commission
Hey, its something, and its a quite innovative something at that.
