Update: Bots v1.1 Released!
A newer bot version (v1.1) has been released! If you're still using v1.0, make sure to upgrade to the next version (download here) . The most important new feature is support for non-respawning matches. You can find a full list of changes at the Bot Changelog page.
Introduction
These bots are computer-controlled enemies to fill up a server if there are few players online or just to play against if you don't have a fast internet connection and are bored of playing the single player campaign.

You can
get the latest version of the bot .pk3 at this site. The newest version uses the filename

it straight away. See
Bot Changelog
if you're curious why. You may
remove any older bot versions afterwards, but you don't have to.
