But as I played, I wasn’t aware of any of the other players being especially prescient or over-capable. I am so outstandingly terrible at online shooters (yet weirdly good at offline ones) that I die almost straight away all the time anyway. I, however, after just jumping into a random match, did not. I note, after writing the above, that IGN reported on the same issues (and also started with almost the same opening as me, which is really annoying since they did it first) and said they experienced the exact problems mentioned. But of course that doesn’t wash with those who still see the game as their hobby or community. There’s a lot of room for the argument that Valve supported this game for three times longer than most would expect for an online FPS, and maybe now it’s had its day. Heck, Valve made the game free in 2011, with only cosmetic items to pay for. It’s testament to the multiplayer shooter that it remains a popular and active game in 2022, and it’s perhaps somewhat more forgivable for its developers to have taken their eyes off the ball when it comes to significant issues. And it’s something of an anomaly in this industry that the game’s even still online, let alone still supported by its original creators. It’s worth noting that Team Fortress 2 is 15 years old. And this, says a large segment of the TF2 community, is ruining the game for everyone. Bots can snipe regular players with one-hundred-per cent accuracy, playing with reflexes beyond mortal man.

The issue is that bots, AI-controlled software playing the game, are dominating the maps, making the game impossible for normal, human players to enjoy. They want Valve’s notoriously ephemeral attention and are pushing hard to get it. A “rampant bot problem” we’re told, in hundreds upon hundreds of identically worded emails sent to Kotaku and every other gaming site. There is a very large group of people who want you to know that multiplayer FPS Team Fortress 2, the 2007 game from Half-Life creators Valve, has a bot problem.
