Instead, their difficulty is based on how they aim. Unlike Condition Zero bots, POD bots have the ability to interact with switches, able to use zoom-in functions for the Bullpup and Krieg 552, use the flashlight and nightvision goggles (even though they can see everything clearly without need of NVG), and can use sprays (which are from Half-Life such as 'Die Freeman!' or the Lambda Logo). While defensive bots will take routes that's safest for them (usually open spaced area or areas that's not frequently traveled by). Normal bots will either choose shortest or longer route depending on where they were killed the last time. Aggressive bots will usually take the shortest route to reach their goal. For aggressive bots, their preferred weapon is the AK-47 while the preferred weapon for defensive bots is the SG550. Their preferred weapons for normal bots are the M4A1.

PWF files which contained navigation data, a predecessor to the NAV system implemented in Condition Zero and Counter-Strike: Source. Markus 'Count Floyd' Klinge created an effective AI bot addon for Counter-Strike 1.6, now known as PODbot, and used feedback to tweak it through the years to make realistic bot interaction, much like Condition Zero soon after. The bot was developed by Stefan Hendricks who stated that Realbot was awarded 'Best Counter-Strike Bot in 2002'. It was able to navigate the 3D maps of Counter-Strike without the use of navigation files and the bot had the ability to learn and adapt behavior from human players. Realbot was a Counter-Strike based version of the 'Botmans' framework to communicate with the Half-Life engine.
