Left 4 Dead: Pros and Cons of Bot Teamates

[cycat229]

criken do one on infected teammates! like so he can see

[tintanmaster]

@Jesus

[Pacacoca]

I like bots but I think they are so annoying when they are chasing you around with the medkit (in yellow health). Especially when you're saving the kits for later.

[MultiHotdogguy]

Left 4 Speed!!!!

[nintendogamer58]

Ultimate SMASH 7:14

[Crowbars357]

One time, I was in a train car safe room with windows next to the solid door. I closed the door. I incapped two bots already. Right as Incapped the last bot. A smoker got me through one of the windows and I died.

When the level restarted, I opened and closed the saferoom door and threw a Molotov at the bots.

[cfg1948]

So youtube name Criken2 Xbox name Criken huh?

[TheDerBorn]

My left ear enjoyed this.

[bowserandluigiteam2]

One time,on dead center expert with bots, a smoker got me in the stairs and they looked at me dying from him while i was shouting ''do something you idiots!''

[headshot22331]

antoher pro thier not afriad of signs that say come with your hands up or be shot -_-

[TheCurly63]

Con: When trying to do a glitch, the bot messes it up. 

[sdsdcfsdfsdfsf]

how do u play with bots???????

[LunaIrieNight]

@sdsdcfsdfsdfsf play with out live people

[mudkip20001]

7:14

OWNED!

[enzokang]

once i got incapped on one side of a big truck and the bots were on the other side they just huddled in the corner and jumped every so often........

[caspian1993]

@3:55 You killed him with a medkit...The Irony of that is soo high.

[07marlowj]

Human players are so much better, my friend and I were playing lfd2 on the bridge mission. He was a charger and a charged into one guy and ran off the bridge pushing him into another who also fell of the bridge, thus achieving a double kill and winning the round.

[bigshotibaby]

me and the bots have a "grudge" with Each other we'll never work it out

[Undead520]

@bigshotibaby I think the bots hate me....whenever I'm being pummled by a tank....they just focus on the othrer infected. The second I die they attack the tank. I just go to Left 4 Dead 1, go to the commentary mode. Go to the subway level, one of the comment bubble thing right by the end safehouse will spawn a tank. Since the infected won't attack you, I just keep spawning a tank till all the bots are dead.

[mrsduggan61]

con:bots do not know how to pick up pipe bombs and Molotov's  -_-

[roller6902]

con: bots will not shoot boomers. UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

[nothingtoyou12]

con: bots will sometimes not use there primary when it has ammo -_-

[matvize]

sorry i put the other comment before i watch the video sorry just ignore it

[matvize]

another pro: when you get pinned or constricted or something they always know where you are and help you in l4d 1

[OneWithTheNight]

Another pro: they can't damage you with friendly fire at all, so you don't have to worry about losing a chunk of health if you accidentally wander in front of them.

The bots in L4D2 suck ass compared to these ones, though. Half the time, they won't rescue you from incapacitation until they have done everything else they want to do.

[noble9889]

@OneWithTheNight

Tell me about it. I was being charged and the bots just stood looking at me and did nothing at all. -.-

[KarmaChicken]

@wwedeadman85 i meant the finales

[KarmaChicken]

Another pro is: they don't start the horde before ur redy

[wwedeadman85]

@KarmaChicken ur wrong pal they sumtimes shoot alarm cars that has appened 2 me b4

[anextremeemo]

@KarzaBanzai infected bots rush like hell and spawn super fast

[SplosionCow]

TheMysteriouseDumbaz1

Do you know what it would be like if bots could use molotovs? *shudders*

[RedCastle335]

6:15 SURPRISE GANG ATTACK IN DARK ALLEY!

[TheRedwingsfan22]

@RedCastle335

lol

[TheMysteriousDumbaz1]

con: they dont use throwable items -.-

[dragonbane44]

@TheMysteriousDumbaz1 Yeah the most glaring con.

[StormAdept]

@SubscribeNow1000 You preach the truth my friend.

[0MrSkittles]

I've played l4d2 and I have to say the best bot for me is coach cause he ALWAYS helps me no matter when and were but fuckin rochelle and nick act like retards when there's a jockey on me all they do is follow me until there close enough to were they can knock it off so that's y I usually hav my bro play with me just so I have some backup

[LuBuOWNZ]

People complain that they can't use grenades, I'm thankful for that.

Think of the horror they would wreak if they could.

[TrueKaos1991]

Con, from kilplix, and consequence. I just got that :D

[99thelunaticgamer]

Why duz bill av that scratch on his gay jaket

[Tarantulaguy8]

Press pause and press 8

[duck31100]

4:39 "BOOM DICK HEADSHOT!"

[qwertyrobot5]

guyscomeonwerealmostoutofhere 2:10

[CaIoLow11]

0:41 Speed cry

[KingBlueDog500]

tank killz all infected in one punch XD

[GoldenLegacey]

Btw hellraiser5671 how is killing zombies a con? lol

[GoldenLegacey]

Be aware in L4D2 they are much dumber.. Especially Rochelle. Anyway good tips.. but i had a lot more cons with bots then you did. Oh, and one more pro is that they can teleport to you when you speedrun. That happened to me a few times.

[synchronize12]

so if PRO means Professional does CON means Constipated?

[mikekrg]

@synchronize12 no pro is advantage and con is disadvantage

[synchronize12]

so if PRO means Professional does CON means Constipated? or Condoms?

[tig6trio3]

You forgot one more con bots automatically shoot boomers even if there close

[FinalFormMario9]

Criken, I watched all of your tips and trick videos and they helped me A LOT. These videos are really good and they should have no dislikes. Keep up the good work!

[Jigmac352]

they can shoot you!

[Spuhrkz]

the third con is no con BE HAPPY THE BOTS DO THE WORK BTW YOU DONT DIE :P

[legoblackops2259]

Pro: Bots make excellent witch bait. Criken, you are awesome. :)

[GW4GTA]

awesome guide videos man! which one is better, left 4 dead or left 4 dead 2? and whats the difference between them? is the 2nd version better? atleast i have the feeling that is :p

[SamuraiGenkai]

To me the bots are good enough, but also I think that the bot has the same A.I personality, they only difference in them is the weapon they prefere.

[katytis]

Um, why this video has numb left side of stereo sound?

[Death4220]

U get the idea bots suck I don't want them on my human team

[Death4220]

Everytime I play l4d or l4d2 with bots, everytime I get attacked or incapacitated, they just stand there while I get ripped apart by a hunter or while I

[fastscore1]

Hey Criken, im @ big fan of your work but on 0:48 u could of crowned that bitch

[Lonetsukasa]

7:14 The Tank say's: "Get off my kill! FALCON PUUNCH!!"

[MrSoulphoenix]

Actually on an expert game it is best for 1 bot only and u missed out one for pro when bots revive u and the zombies attack u, it does not restart the reviving process (can be somewhat good or bad when getting attacked by a horde

[SonikFan80]

@NeoAndrew125 My Zoey is just like yours. Goddamn, I hate her. I play as Louis, and I don't kick much ass. Bill is probably the best, he's always there to halp. Francis just loves to get in the way of my plans. "Setting down a gas tank for the Crane event? I'LL JUST STAND ON TOP OF IT." But he doesn't down his pills in green if I hand them to him like the other bots...

[Pokemariofan107]

@NeoAndrew125 Actually Zoey did it for me l4d1 shooting boomers who are in front of everybody

[QuakeMasterOfTheSoul]

Cons: Witches are huggable teddy-bears to them for which they're attracted to it.

[Bensim44]

One more con: Sometimes, they stare and watch you die.

[acephantom903]

I never relised that bots stay near ammo/ weapons for the finales. I thought they just went to a predetermined defence area. But now it makes sence! If I were good enough in a good group, I'd defend there too because if you need to reload, you just grab a new gun! Instant reload.

[jtset99]

12-they dont do stupid things like "NOBODY SURVIVES BUT CRICKEN" and kill team mates

[jayjay12365]

pro bots see smokers and other BS before u and they shoot it down

[Luigiowns845]

Con - bots won't pick ups molotovs, pipe bombs or (L4D2) Bile bombs

[slydude501st]

1:28 aimbot! lol

[brettdmason]

3:54 AH! LOUIS!

[opielicker96]

Advice, do not waste medkits unless you are in the 'black and white'. You should always use pills instead. Unless none are avaliable. Still, don't use them unless you're absolutely going to die or if you're at 1 health and limping really slow. In the end, the more health kits you have, the more the score, believe it or not. Also, being in green health and having pills in your inventory as well as medkits, you get a huge health bonus.

[ninjamez13]

@opielicker96 wattif u are on black and white 1 health and while u heal a zombie atks u...

wouldn't you heal at black and white as soon as possible?

[opielicker96]

@ninjamez13 Yah. That's what I said. lol

[iloveichigo123]

when it was my just my boy friend and i that was playing francis was a big fat jerk face and watched as my boyfriend who played lois die and right when he died he ran away so i killed the smoker and then francis wouldent stop trying to walk through walls

[melsteamer]

Can you be a zombie and face off aganist bots as well?

[left4deadfan567]

1:30 XD

[Bionicdemon11]

Who keeps lookin at the SNEAKY BOOMER GOES ...........?

[jocy92113]

@ejandrew wrongggg!!! he hates everything,including da witch so he tried 2 kill her

[aznfighter999]

Pro: they dont kick you when you die 30 times

[Pokemariofan107]

@aznfighter999 So you would rather play with noone and die 30 times?

[SALD1AS]

6:24

AI director: rapemode [on]

[ejandrew]

Francis said the Witch was soo cool thats why it was startled

[tracerlexicon]

another big negative is that bots won't use molotovs or pipe bombs.

[pownagemachine]

Just curiously, what font do you use?

[armaholic1234]

con: they cant revive you if you are on the tracter in the field

[xtazy115]

oh yeah and have u noticed at 7:16 the tanks ultimate falcon punch = zombies can FLY XD

[xtazy115]

the thing i always liked the most about bots is that they help u imediately after you've been pounced.but it's impossible to complete the finals on expert with them because they don't use strategies like u would do online.they just do what they're programmed to

[Harisdoubled]

thumps ^ if hunter is saying FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!!!!

[9714keng]

Humans, definately. Once I was playing dead air on the terminal, a hunter was on an esclator. When I tried to shoot it in mid jump,Bill bot gave me pills and hunter pounced me.

[The1HaloNoobOwner]

@criken so would u rather play with bots or humans?

[ReincarnationFan]

More reasons why bots are better:

1. DARING BOT RESCUE!!!!

2. Bot: Don't worry all of you 3!(Hanging on ledge)(Bot Jumps to the rescue)(Falls down then dies)(LOL?)

3. Unlimited bullets?

4. TELEPORTATION ABILITY!

5. Always helps you

That''s all.

Oh and in farmhouse finale, the least protectable place was the best place if it's single player mode. 1 time I saw a tank on a train cargo, it went up down up down and so on...

[KenzoHearted]

there was once i played with bots. i got pinned down by a hunter and they were standing right infront of me but they took SOOO LOOONG to come and help me lol.

[futrevdogmetster]

Another con, once rescue arrives, they never help you if you become incapacitated.

[OceanBabe70]

Yayzors! 3 thumbs up! :D

[wabzoo]

3:56 louis just gets pulled out of the screen by a smoker XD

[RyvernRaigon]

@wabzoo I know, i laughed my ass off on that part too xD. Also 4:09 looked as if the tank threw a boomer or a rock that infects you with the puke effect?

[SeismicAlfadude]

well a con is that the bots awarenes sucks, if the horde is comming from behind they wont know...

[lukeape1]

4:10 i think the tank threw a boomer at you lol

[jennasandiego]

l4d2 AI sucks cock

[lasycasy234]

Rarely the bots sometimes crown witches

[28orbital28]

7:16 tank made a falcon punch

[4EvMetal]

I like to have two humans and two bots...

[TheBLeAChLoVa]

you also forgot to add they stand like retards when your incapacitated by the tank they stand like real retards

[magnumslinger]

You forgot to add "can't use grenades" and "never choose to risk friendly fire to actually save your ass"

[Gatinhadomeulove]

You should do this for the second game too =D

[OceanBabe70]

Reasons why bots are better:

1 - They follow you and stick with you.

2 - They are generous and heal you.

3 - If you are Pinned, constricted or incapitated they instantly help you (Not unless they are incapitated themselves or crowded by common infected.)

4 - If you accidently shoot them, they don't react and shoot you back.

5 - They don't run off and leave you behind.

6 - They don't act retarded and waste their ammo in the elevator on No mercy.

7 - THEY ARE FUN!!

:D

[iceman78772]

@OceanBabe70 True :D

[lasycasy234]

@OceanBabe70 They also teleport to you sometimes :D

[OceanBabe70]

@lasycasy234 Really? I'll have to look out for that one.

[Dragoncro0wn]

@OceanBabe70 they are also wallhackers they shoot zombies behind cover is tree

[WastedYears1991]

@OceanBabe70 uhh i heal ppl and i dont waste ammo and i only shoot if i get shot lol but i do run off but it never works -.-

[OceanBabe70]

@WastedYears1991 I always heal people even when I have lower health than them. Plus online is great too. You can shoot eachother for fun.

[trevorhirby]

@OceanBabe70 Everything's right except 3. You don't know how many times I've had shitty bots that took forever to help.

[xXdeathmagnetic97Xx]

@OceanBabe70 8 - They don 't purposely startle the witch when everyone is on their last lets and it's the hardest difficulty.

9 - When they heal you and you're almost dead, they don't stop when almost finished all shoot your @#$%ing face off.

[fearmydonut248]

@xXdeathmagnetic97Xx 10 - If they shoot you, you don't loss health.

11. They don't shoot alarmed cars.

[fearmydonut248]

@xXdeathmagnetic97Xx 10 - If they shoot you, you don't loss health.

11. They don't shoot alarmed cars.

12. They don't t-bag you when you are down.

13. They don't vote you off when you don't save them. >:)

[themonkeymN]

@xXdeathmagnetic97Xx 10- No micspamming

11- no sprays of gay porn (shudders)

[MetroidLover1599]

@themonkeymN O.o wtf

[synchronize12]

@xXdeathmagnetic97Xx 10 - They don't have sex?

[hellraiser5671]

@xXdeathmagnetic97Xx 10- they dont heal you then stop at the last second and repeat over and over

11-they dont retardedly through the molotov at you

con 1-they shoot the zombies going for your pipe bomb

[TheMutantzombie]

@xXdeathmagnetic97Xx 10 - They dont kill them selves

[Pokemariofan107]

@OceanBabe70 con. They steal your fucking kills like hell

[ninjamez13]

@OceanBabe70 10. They always know where the specials are. if they are behind or on a roof they see them and shoot them

[TheKillerman166]

@OceanBabe70 11 - they dont kill you just so they can get your stuff

[awsomeface286]

@OceanBabe70 On l4d2 they aren't smart they help you up when they got zombies behind them and get incapped and end the game

[1997LCN]

@OceanBabe70 they can't kick player too!

[jedimasterpickle3]

@OceanBabe70 Two more reasons for your list: They cause friendly fire and they have near-perfect aim. Cons: They're retarded, they don't use throwables, they waste health, they try to revive you at bad times, they often walk into your line of fire, they often startle the witch, and they easily get killed in tank fights

[yamilayamilayamila]

@OceanBabe70 You can kill them and they won't get mad :D! That is my favorite part XD

[zeltaf]

i like the bots they wont run away most of the time. i dont reload i just grab another shotgun and already loaded so faster fighting at finales with a horde.

[AlphaReaper727]

3:55

Smoker: Yoink

Francis: HELP MEH! >_<

[MrDarkPringles]

4:07 rock puke XD

[KingOSketchKomedy]

Con: if they are reviving you they will always target any enemies that come into the room first and during the revival.

[tailzrules99]

in L4D2 on my game bots shield me against karma chargers :D

[ma675]

I personally prefer Bots at times because they are more reliable.Online players have the choice to abandon you but Bots can't,they are programmed to help you.On the other hand,Playing online with friends is more fun (only with friends,I don't play it with strangers that much)

[AvatarRifle]

Man this makes me want an xbox 360 even more... $75 away!!!!

[Wallalaahh]

yo left 4 dead 2, im real happy for you, and ima letcha finish, but left 4 dead 1 had one of the worst AI's of all time! OF ALL TIME!!!

[ma675]

@Wallalaahh i agree,I found L4D2's bots to be A LOT stronger than the original games bots

[wrestleratheart]

@Wallalaahh fuck off with the Kanye West references. They're not even funny anymore, they're just getting stupid.

[runescaperzoco]

i hate it on versus when the other team is full of bots, i finally get to a perfect spot with a hunter and then as soon as you jumper zoey turns around and kills you with a 50 mile away shotgun shot -.-

[pusscraze]

con they usaly use pistols to kill a hunter on you

[rax7]

yea one bad thing about bot is that they only pick up pills and medkit. they never pick up pipebomb and a gas tank and so on...

[chargerfighter1]

@rax7

They wouldn't know when to throw it and/or shoot it.

[watr12]

@chargerfighter1 no they would know exactly where to throw it cuz they have autoaim. so it wouldnt be fair

[Pokemariofan107]

@watr12 Or they'd do something retarded like throw a pipe at one zombie or Molotov in water

[rax7]

the only good thing about bot is that when you get smoked or hunted, other players might not know where you are, but the bot knows. this is why in realism mode, the bot can be useful.

the bad thing is that sometimes the bot just stands right next to you shooting zombies while you are getting ripped by a hunter.

[pablopablo221]

2:41 do you know what that sound means, CON TIME!!

[Prototype745]

Pro:Kill zombies for you while you sit back and relax

[linklime1]

do ya need to do in a supah speed? makes me supah hyper

[aatuwll]

well u were very strategic healer during the finale :PP

[kiljoy12345678]

Con- THEY DON'T SNEAK PAST WITCHES. I snuck past one and then i got pulled by a smoker. They just stood outside.

[PiperHalliwell1230]

How do you spawn more bots?

[otterdude1]

3:54 Bye, Louis!

[oNLYr4Z0r]

TRUCK

TRUCK

TRUCK

FUCK

[fortportable]

I love how you knock em through the air then shoot em makling em fly :P

[1177password]

lol at the music

[MrPapasmurf1999]

Pro of bots: they dont betray you and then stand there laughing their ass off as you get the shit kicked out of you.... which is what i usually do.

[technikalimp7]

pro:they dont go too far ahead or fall too far behind so you dont have to worry about them leaving you

[xXJettAcEXx33]

con if u fail at speed running on first level and is down on pipe they run in circles

[MrJr1302]

if we all became zombies, wouldnt we all be normal then? we all would be the same, life wise it wouldnt be that diferant, we all would just be bllody, have patches of skin missing, and some of us would be dismembered, but still, we would be all the same

[Protecta06]

I live in Italy and I have the German version, I get MP5 smgs and bunch of unique weapons!

[metallica1108]

Another Con is that they cant carry molotovs or pipe bombs

[pdPOINTnCLICKbq]

Wow, they raped that Tank

[TheTrueChuster]

We can extract two thing from this:

1.- Bots has his pros and his cons

2.- Bots dont care about the human player

3.- Zombies are like stupid people, because atacks in large groups

4.- Louis is the pro of the team, because he only uses the pistols against the zombies

5.- Karma charger is watching this commentary...

[dnguyen2073]

whats a Pro and a Con??? Noob Question huh?

[drummernick34]

@dnguyen2073 ...-_- sure, ask that question on a fucking youtube video. not google or something... a pro is a good thing and a con is a bad thing

[Legolad229]

Con: They take my PEEEEEELZ
