Bots are computer controlled marines that function exactly like those found in the single-player offline mode. Bots can be added by any player while in the lobby. They cannot be added to a game in progress. Bots will not prevent additional players from joining a game; they do not take up a real player slot. Bots will automatically be kicked to make room for real players as they join the game. A bot added to a game with only one live player will bypass the usual two player requirement to start a game.
Bots are added or removed with the following commands:
cl_selectm # -1 (-1 will add a bot to the first open marine slot. Replace -1 with either 0, 1, 2 or 3 to fill that specific slot, slots must be filled progressively.) cl_dselectm # (Remove a bot from the game.) In either case, replace # with one of the following: 0 - Sarge 1 - Wildcat 2 - Faith 3 - Crash 4 - Jaeger 5 - Wolfe 6 - Bastille 7 - Vegas
