Turtle Rock designed the bot code. Would have taken them awhile

Best bots created for a game imo.

"Gearbox's CZ were an improved AI coded by the creator of PODBot"
taken from CS-Nation
so they advanced the code even more for cs:s but still they used a user made bot wich sourcecode was released.

Not so simple to convert some hl1 bot to css. I dont remember any previous bots doing a total surface caculation to determine standable ground and waypoint placment either.
