Did anyone ever try to take it slow through an offline or online MH or MA map with a bot tagging along, covering you? I like to do this with only 1 life, like a survival adventure. Did anyone ever try to stand back to let the bot take some pot shots at some charging monsters and get a few frags of their own? How about picking a bot up for a ride in the back of a RocketX ship? What about just flying that RocketX jet around in circles or figure eights and let the bot open fire out the back end?
Most of the time, they don't do a thing. They completely ignore the monsters, opponents, incoming seeking projectiles around them—until it's too late and they've been mauled or blasted away.
...I'm talking about "Inhuman" or "Godlike" bots; not the "Novice" ones!
Isn't it just plain goofy when you see like 20 Pupae/Mantas/Flies/whatever charging towards a Bot and the Bot just stands there and acts like nothing is wrong, sometimes while facing the damn things? They have to bite it to get its attention!
Me: "YOOHOO, bot, those things aren't closing in for a snuggle!"
Bot: Dies.
Me: "DOH! You dufus! AAAAARGH!"

There's a map called MH-()MG-ValleyOfHellFinal or something like that where many lava-textured brutes spawn in and instantly turn around and shoot super-fast FlakShells at you without any provocation, even from very far away. That is some frightening awareness!
I was thinking of changing Botpack and making the bots react that well in Godlike mode but I have almost no knowledge on C++ or UScrypt programming at all. Can anyone do anything about this pervasive problem? Does Botpack even need to be changed?
Sorry if this was long like TL;DR. I just had to take a break and get this out there to y'all.
