Artificial Intelligence
Redirected from Default AI
AI Bots are computer controlled characters in the TimeSplitters series. You can have up to ten in one game. You can control which character they are, the amount of their stars, which team they're on, and whether or not they're playing. Al Bots do have limitations, however. They cannot man gun emplacements, nor can they ride in vehicles. They also cannot activate levers. For example, they cannot cause the subways to come in the Subway area.

Star Value
Edit
The game's default star value for a bot is the Default AI.
TimeSplitters
Edit
AI does not apply to the original TimeSplitters characters. No characters have statistics and all are equal except for size and shape advantages.
TimeSplitters 2
Edit
AI determines the intelligence, stamina, accuracy, and overall difficulty of defeating a bot. The Default AI is measure on a star scale of 1 to 5. For example, a 1-star bot will be slow to react to being shot and will die fairly quickly. In contrast, a 5-star bot is difficult to shoot at from behind due to their quick reaction time, and they will often perform dives and other dodges to avoid fire. 5-star bots have a large amount of stamina and, due to their advanced "intelligence", will often run to retrieve a Health Pack when near death. Default AI values can only be changed when Character Abilities, are turned off. There are three arcade "modes" to choose from: Chilled, Normal and Frantic. These modes simply determine the pace of the matches; "Chilled" decreases all player's average speed while "frantic" increases player's speed.
The Star value in TS2 seems to only be based around the Character's Accuracy rather than Overall.
TimeSplitters Future Perfect
Edit
TimeSplitters Future Perfect uses the same bot method as TimeSplitters 2 except there are no arcade modes. It is interesting to note that most returning characters in TSFP do not have the same AI rating as they did in TS2. Perhaps the most extreme example of this would be The Master, who went from having a 1-Star Rating in TS2 to having a 5-Star Rating in TSFP. Others, such as Robert One-Oh-Seven, Jacque de la Morte and Gingerbread Man also experienced radical changes, though some, such as Viola, Badass Cyborg and Braces, remained the same.
