Cause it doesn't seem to be for me. Every time I try and play casual hostage maps (Italy/Office) I get 2 types of games. 1 where I'm the only human playing Bots which doesn't count towards exp or kills or anything, or a game that's full of 1 persons "player" bots that are there to boost and will kick any person from the game that isn't himself.

I'm west coast USA. I don't play the game much but Office is really the only map that I like. It was my 24/7 goto during source. I don't do any of the bombsite maps nor do I even know them. Not interested in trying to learn a bunch of new maps and I just don't like the bomb defusal.

Idk why office would be the most botted, though, also with just no real people ever playing. It's been months since I've been in a game with more than 1-2 real people before getting overrun and booted by a bot farm.

i play a lot of office tbh, but just competitive.
east coast / central usa has active office players in casual, try raising your ping settings (to like 61 id guess) and you should start to hit the further servers, or make some friends who play regularly and join their games.
