I was playing Grotto this morning alone (around 10:30-10:40am MST) and when I tried to order the bots to hold position on one side of the map, they listened at first, but soon started following me, one by one. This happens every single time I play alone - I try to have them stay put, and one at the very least never listens to me, always popping up behind me saying "I've got your back." I can't remember the last time they all followed my orders.

Is this some fault in the bot AI or something? Is there a console command I can use to force them to stay in one place and not spontaneously assume I need backup?

I've had success when I have them hold different positions separated from each other on the map. When I order they them to hold positions closer to each other, that's when they will come "get my back."

Last I heard, you could only give verbal position orders and there was no way you could use the console to position the bots.

Nope, I've never used voice commands. Ordering them to "hold this position" from the taunt menu usually works, even when dead and spectating, though they do get easily distracted.

A few weeks ago I accidentally killed Annika by jumping on her head once. No idea how that's even possible, since it takes at least 12 jumps to kill a regular Krall, but I had no complaints. I've also heard that engineers can allegedly kill them by spawning vehicles over their heads, though I wouldn't know anything about that.

or if you are a high enough engineer you can tell them to hold this position and the put the square walls around them and stack it and block them in! He He just thought of that! just make sure there is something over their heads so they can't trans out

If I'm solo on a map I usually try to keep the bots alive and tell them to hold position. It seems that if I get too close and maybe bump into a bot holding position, they will cover me.

Hmmm, would you be so kind as to give us the exact procedure?

I never use voice commands either, always use the menu.

V - to bring up the menu
4 - for orders
2 - hold position command
1,2 or 3 - Bot number

I think all bots should be medics and they should actually heal you!!!!
