Not cut very skillfully, but fun and fervently - look at how 0:20 The player is pushed through a crowd of enemies like Alexander Nevsky. It is interesting that all these bots are simultaneously managed by one and that the same neural network.
As the AI creators told using special markers on they long coached the neural network to adapt their behavior to depending on situation, the amount of health and cartridges. When the bots ran into several tens of thousands of hours, they learned to shoot quite well, use shelters and it is better to react. This brought them on The level of a novice player who generally well acquainted with shooters. The only thing with than not yet cope bots - with inaction. If there is no opponent nearby, then they simply do not know what to do, turn yulia on one place.
