I for one intend to 'program' my suggested Portal servers to only have AI Soldiers in the game to start up a given server!
Aka, if we need minimum 4 players to start a game server, then max 3 AI soldiers should suffice. This should help to get any server going and as soon as a real human player joins, then he/she takes the place of one of the remaining AI soldiers.
And its only if the server starts running empty that any AI soldier will backfill. So if any of the teams gets below 2 human players, then an AI soldier will be inserted.
Agreed with previous poster, that ideally we should be able to see on the server browser how many AI soldiers are present on the servers before we join!
