UT vs. Q3A: Update! -- 10:59 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I've been having an email conversation with a man by the name of Edward H. who read my UT vs. Q3A article and took a bit of umbrage with my comments on UT's bots being "cookie cutter" bots--essentially all the same. He pointed out that when you start up a practice session or network game, there is a button called "Configure" under the "Bots" tab that lets you adjust some settings for the bots, including weapon preference, accuracy, alertness, camping, strafing, and combat style. This does offer you great control over the bots you play, but unless you change the settings yourself, all the bots will be essentially the same on any skill level. Notice that I didn't say that was bad, mind you, because UT's bots are quite nice. I plan on updating that commentary (or maybe writing a whole new one) once I have the full version of UT.

Thanks to Edward H. for his comments and insight!
