Les développeurs de Team Fortress 2 viennent d'ajouter des bots au jeu, pour ceux qui n'ont pas d'amis ou qui sont trop noob pour venir sur notre serveur. Attention cependant, les bots ne sont encore qu'en phase de bêta test et ils ne sont disponibles que sur une poignée de cartes. Valve Software a par ailleurs patché le jeu en corrigeant toute une liste de bugs.

La liste complète des changements apportés par le patch ainsi que le manuel d'utilisation des bots se trouvent ensuite de la nouvelle.

Pour utiliser les bots :

• To add bots to your game, use the console command tf_bot_add. This will drop a random bot onto a random team (assuming there is a free player slot). The tf_bot_add command can also take up to three optional arguments: , , and , in any order. For example, tf_bot_add 10 will add 10 random bots to the game with auto-assigned teams. Typing tf_bot_add pyro blue will add a Pyro to the blue team. Entering tf_bot_add red 5 will add 5 random bots to the red team. The command tf_bot_add red 3 heavyweapons will add three heavies to the red team.
• In order to put specific bots on specific teams (for a bots-vs-humans game, for example), you may want to disable automatic team balancing. To do this, enter mp_autoteambalance 0 followed by mp_teams_unbalance_limit 0.
• To remove a bot, use the console command kick . To remove all of the bots in the game, use the command tf_bot_kick all.
