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
