Counter-Strike 1.6 with bots lets you play the classic game offline: warm up before online matches, learn maps, practice sprays, or just play when there’s no internet. This build comes with ZBot — the smart bots from Condition Zero — already installed and set up, so you can start a match against bots right after the download.

What you get

  • ZBot preinstalled — no extra files or plugins to copy.
  • Bot menu on the H key to add bots to a team, kick them or change difficulty during the game.
  • All standard maps with navigation meshes, so bots move properly on de_dust2, de_inferno, de_nuke and others.
  • Online play too — bots only appear in games you create; on servers you play against people.

Quick start: play against bots

  1. Launch the game and click New Game.
  2. Pick a map, then open the Game tab and set the number of bots and difficulty.
  3. Press Start. During the game press H for the bot menu.

Useful bot commands
