Bots

Bots or AI players (Artificial Intelligence) is a system in Counter-Strike series.

Overview
Bots can only be used in Original, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. They are fought as an opponent instead of real players. In bot modes, players can only join the same team as the room host. When a player joins a room, a bot will automatically join to balance the game. The room host can select their desired difficulty. In Counter-Strike Online, the host have to kill an amount of bots to unlock a new difficulty. The task gets more difficult as it goes.
