Video of the network actually playing deathmatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oo0TraGu6QY&index=1&list=PLd...

The video really is amazing. We can see the reward system in play. The player runs through map like a maniac (even running through groups of enemies) as a calculated attempt to score kills.

Even human players -- knowing full well what it takes to win -- still maintain some semblance of self-preservation. We'll use the map to our advantage and seek strategic high ground. The robot is simply a killing machine.

That only works if the people you run past and forget about as soon as they're off your screen kind of don't shoot you. Good luck being a "killing machine" in that fashion against good players :P

But of course if you train it against that different kind of opponent, you would see very different behaviour.

Yeah, and I'd be super keen to see that :)
