Empty Bot Servers: Existential Horror

[Spacehogking]

Has anybody else here accidentally walked into a TE bot server with 0 other people in it? The bots actually are fighting, perpetually, on every map rotation. This deeply disturbs me, and it should disturb you too.

I hear they arrange their own matches....

 

[Hillstorm]

This made me lol a little.

 

[DAT]

They are just practicing for the upcoming world war Z

They are preparing to break the 4th wall.

I got a good chuckle out of this..thank you.

 

[r5cya]

soon, when they get good enough, they're going to take over the world!

 

[Extension7]

They'll get good enough, break the 4th wall, and learn how to jump servers bypassing the play count. Brigades of bots will fill populated pubbing server and they will aimbot through obsticals.

Of course, they will all be Germans with MKB42s and MG32s.

They don't need MKB42's or MG32's. They don't even need ammo. They just need to charge at you doing a melee attack. They could take over the world with their unstoppable melee moves of terror.

Every 4 seconds, a bot dies in Stalingrad.

While this may give off a slight Zen ring (or a more sinister Philip K. Dick ring, depending on your perspective), are we actually certain that the bots continue fighting when there is no one around?

Perhaps they're only putting up a show for the sake of the spectators/ live players, but when there is no one to watch them - what kind of things could they possibly be up to?

I. Kant posting in a thread about existentialism gave me an extra layer of The Lol, but to reply to his comment, it's a Toy Story thing, while we are watching, they pretend to fight, but when we arent there, they sit around talking, complaining about the lockdown timer, strange unlocks and what the next patch will bring.

 

[AntoxaGray]

You can power lever on bots.

 

[AmazingMilto]

Thats hilarious and frightening at the same time.

I wonder if soon they will join together, so instead Allies and Axis, it is the World versus the 1945 Robotic Confederacy, lord have mercy on our souls

Didn't know this thread was about the process by which human beings begin to think philosophically about the role they play in the world.

This scares me more than it should

 

[Synesthesia]
