When the navigation network is very simple, bots have no choice. They only move where there is a path.
Like a train on rails.
I was always amazed at how bots cannot walk past the ammo and always pick them up if they pass by.
I decided that they were stupid and could not do otherwise.
Now I understand that this is due to the fact that the navigation network is too simple. They don't want to pick up ammo, but there is simply no other way, so they do not drop through the ammo, becoming an easy and predictable target.
Another problem with a simple network is unnatural movement.
See how the bot picks up the ripper in the sektor's variant.
He runs down the center of the corridor, past the ripper. After that, it turns back and runs to the ripper or ammo.
Because this is how the navigation network laid here.
Where a human runs near to a wall, the bot will always run in the center, since there is no other way.
And there are a lot of such things. I tried to eliminate them.
At the moment I am aware of one problem - cycling at the beginning of the first ramp to bio. Bot for some reason runs back and forth. Apparently, when moving from point to point, the best path changes to one that goes through the previous point.
Now bots can make unexpected decisions because the network is complex.
For example, enter the teleport without touch the rocket launcher.
Walk around the boxes near to the wall.
Move in a corner near the wall, not in the center of the aisle.
And so on.

Also what about NewNet? Beta3 fix teleport issue?

Look at this:
How will move bot after respawn here?
You think he is come for ripper? Even if he decide do this he move like train on rails, not like human do.
---
Compare with this:
If bot want he can going to ripper like human do.
Alsi he can walk directly down to shock if want.
Also pay attention on turn after ripper. There bot can run near wall which make he is less visible and less weak for kill.

Look at this:
It is normal? Like human do?
Also pay attention where bot ended. He run at center of corner. Not near wall.

Compare with this:
You even can be not sure bot this perform or human.
In previous example nobody can mess up "this" with human.
