Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Bots in Multiplayer
I was happy to see that Call of Duty: Black Ops II has a bots option in multiplayer.
Just choose custom games and use Setup Bots.
Please note that it loses the settings constantly - for no good reason that I can see. Yes, it would need to reset if you have too many bots for a map, but it happens with maps that allow the same number of bots.
So if the star isn't displaying on the right side of Setup Bots, go back there, or you will have to restart the game. You can add up to 11 bots in the maps I tested.
The nice part is that unlike Call of Duty: Black Ops Combat Training, you can use several game modes with the bots.
It overall feels much less fun than Combat Training, because you don't get the full challenges and unlocks that you got in it...
The really, really lame part is that if you lose your connection to Steam (or their servers? not sure), your completely local game just stops. That is VERY annoying, and I imagine it is some sort of DRM based idea (at the very least, they would have to be putting stuff in the server that didn't need to be there for this to make sense).
Either way, if you don't have a good, steady online connection (which would also be a reason to play with bots), you can't play Multiplayer.
