During the early production of ''Condition Zero'', Gearbox Software hired Klinge to work on the early bot AI for the game, allowing for use in single-player and cooperative play as well as the traditional teamplay. During the transfer of production to [[Ritual Entertainment]], the fate of the new bot was unknown.

Enemy bots will react to your firing, and will often form a small to large group in attempt to kill the player, unlike in previous games. This is probably a way to force the player to work closely with friendly bots. Working alone is more difficult even on the lowest skill set. Also, bots are reprogrammed to focus on human players first before targeting other bots, unless they are in close proximity.

Moreover, the infiltration skills of bots have improved as well, namely, for [[Bombsite|bombsites]]. A.I. players will usually use different entrances to breach through enemy occupied territory and they are more effective as well.

In [[GoldSrc]] games, bots would take at least 3-7 seconds to purchase their preferred [[weapon]]s and [[equipment]]. This was removed in CS: Source and [[Global Offensive]].

*Bots will never use the [[Burst|burst-fire]] of the [[Glock]] and the [[FAMAS]] as they will use semi-automatic mode instead (Unless it was set to the burst mode before they pick up). Moreover, they do not use the secondary fire (scope) for the [[AUG]] or the [[Krieg 552]] but do use the zoom-in functions for the [[AWP]], [[Schmidt Scout]], [[Krieg 550 Commando |Krieg 550 Commando,]] and the [[D3/AU-1]]. Due to this, bots will switch to their sidearm when engaging enemies at close proximity or has to retreat.

* Throughout the history of [[Counter-Strike]], many (human) players tend to disown the capability of bots, due to their major differences in their judgement and movement. However, bots can be quite efficient (and perhaps even deadly) if their settings are set at the highest difficulty.

* Before [[Counter Strike: Source]], even if bots were restricted in purchasing a specific [[weapon]], they may pick up a weapon (based on their preference) from a dead human player, the player can even arm their teammates against enemies armed with knives.

* In Condition Zero. Bots will only throw some [[Grenade|grenade]] at the beginning of the round. Sometimes, they will do this even though enemy players have not been detected and they may throw it improperly. If friendly fire is enabled, a team member may get killed if bots throw multiple [[HE grenade|grenades]] at him.

*In Counter-Strike 1.6, bots in easy and medium difficulty do not strafe often when they see a lone enemy player, as they usually crouch or stand still when they attack. However, they will strafe either left or right in expert difficulty. It is also hard to dodge their bullets even at close range but it is possible to dodge bullets at point blank (provided that the player has a light weapon). POD bots will usually strafe while shooting, especially when they are armed with [[Pistol|pistols]].

*Bots will only use the [[knife]] if all firearms and equipment have been restricted, all their weapons have run out of ammo, at the beginning of a round for rushing purposes, or they are attempting to leave a bombsite before the [[C4]] explodes. Bots set on higher difficulty will equip the knife first until they encounter an enemy player or enter an area where combat occurs.

**In Source, bots will switch to a firearm when they approach enemies when the bomb countdown is between 6-10 seconds. Also, they will attack assailants aggressively with the knife rather than escaping when a target is in close proximity with a bot. This tends to occur quite often in Condition Zero.
