    Force hordes to spawn using a Left 4 Dead-esque director. Excellent for adding an additional level of difficulty.

    asw_horde_interval_min # (Replace # with any number. This sets the minimum time between each horde spawn.)

    Change the hosted game type from public to friends-only or vice versa.

    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


    The default weapon and equipment loadout of a particular marine can be changed via the following commands. Default loadouts also apply to any bots added by a player.

    asw_default_primary_MARINENUMBER #
    asw_default_secondary_MARINENUMBER #

    Replace # with one of the following:
    0 - Assault Rifle
    1 - Prototype Assault Rifle (Tech only)
    2 - Autogun (Special Weapons only)
