Summary
Counter Strike 2 is in the early phases of deployment, having only recently come out of private beta and into public hands. As a result, some features from CS:GO are still being converted over to Counter Strike 2. Setting up bots on a server is a reasonably quick addition that can help fill gaps in gameplay when servers slow down. Bots can also be quickly added to servers via console commands, which is helpful for players who only want bots temporarily.
