Hey I just found out some interesting news. Apparently, a sizeable update has been added to the formerly defunct Shattered horizon (I got tired of it just like you did, I'm sure). The big change is that Bots have been added; not a huge deal but they did include a new 4-player coop survival mode called "Last Stand" that I think is worth redownloading for. I probably will be taking part in the new coop, is anyone with me?

EDIT: There will also be a 50% off sale on SH this weekend, FYI
 
Not an eGO supported game though.

But YES! My one problem with this game was not enough people in a server to get a game going. Even though 3v3 and 5v5 matches were still kind of fun, a coop survival mode solves that problem by requiring less people. And by making bots.

But how can the bots deal with the 3D space? Are the people who made SH amazing and spent nearly all the time between the last update and this one working on bots? Or are the bots stupid? Must test out...I believe it is still installed on a computer my family has somewhere...

Bots in 3D space? Oh I really can't think of games which have that...
(Assuming 3D space as in 3 dimensions...)
Half Life
Half Life 2
COD MW Campaign
COD MW2 Campaign
CS:S
TF2
L4D
L4D2
CS 1.6 (On the xbox, haven't got a PC one :/)
BC2 campaign.
Aren't bots simply AI?
Just off the top of my head, lol.

Not quite the same. While those are examples of 3 dimensional space, in SH, because you're in space, anyone can come at you from just about any direction. In other games, you're mostly dealing with people front and behind you, not above and below. For instance, you would never expect someone hiding above a door on the ceiling facing up/down at the entrance in Counter-Strike or just about any other game, but it can happen in SH.
So I'm just wondering how the developers got the AI to work with that.
