PeZBOT is a multiplayer bot-mod for Call of Duty 4 and World at War. The aim of the mod is to introduce relatively life-like A.I. to local multiplayer games so those who choose not to go online or prefer to practice against bots before doing so, can. This mod is no longer in development but feel free to download the source code, create your own version and share it in the forums.
PezBots has much to improve on, like the fluidity of bot movement, but otherwise they suffice in providing a satisfactory offline multiplayer experience.
Good bots.
Good bots.
I like this mod. The problem that I see is that the bots have some difficulty in movement. Except for that, it's fine.
bad
Desperately wanted to install this almost a decade back, but was too young and stupid to understand any of the instructions lol. Crying shame it's no longer being developed though, but tough.
I only have 3 problems with pezbots:
- They don't aim down sights
- Their movement is kinda glitchy (it probably depends on the waypoints)
- They switch weapons so fast like wth
I experimented with the source files and i tried to let them aim down sights but it didn't work... I give it an 8/10 because it's actualy good for practicing and making your own tactics against real players.
Best Bot mod, even better than p011 for COD4
It works incredibly well, and frankly the fact that you can change the options in a .ini file with clear instructions its very useful.
That being said there are a couple of strange issues, such as the fact that the mod lacks the ability to add bots automatically after each map by default, luckily you can change this in the .ini file, but still.
It does deserve a high score however because this mod has not only inspired other mods directly, that also have added bots to other Call of Duty games, but by doing so, it has secure this game multiplayer preservation, as well as indirectly, the preservation of other multiplayer game modes in other Call of Duty games.
One more reason for CoD4 to be a real keeper, compared to the other, later CoD titles. It's good that PezBot's editable out of the box. Even better that we've been given its source code. Seeing that the other mods are getting around to using this too(DemonMod, BOIImod, SW:GW) is awesome.
