Last night while doing some com practice on a listen server I had set up I discovered that the marine bots you can add in cheat mode are now working to the extent that they will shoot at alien players on sight. This is useful for people like me who want more skulk/lerk/fade/onos practice with real targets.
The command console options are listed here, <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/index.php/Console_Commands" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/wiki/inde...onsole_Commands</a> ,but basically all you need to do is:
1 - start a server via the third tab of the play page, I recommend a password and lowering the max players to 4 if you are not playing with anyone else.
2 - join the alien team then open your console (`) and type "cheats 1" (without quotes) this will start the game.
3 - to add a bot open the console and type "addbot" (removebot has the opposite effect).
4 - you can easily change to the marine team and give the bot a waypoint by opening the console and typing "switch" to change teams and then jumping into the command chair and assigning the waypoint (be aware the bots have zero pathfinding ability). After giving the waypoint just "switch" back to the alien team.
5 - the bots will shoot at any alien in their sight and appear to have perfect aim so beware :)
Have fun!

Yeah it's like its on hardcore mode. You should try it the other way, when the bots are aliens you can't get them off of you!
I also noticed that sometime the bots don't attack you unless you kill them first and they respawn while your in the room and see you right away.
They can't navigate anywhere very well, but you will be dead the moment they go into attacking mode. Skulks kill you as soon as they reach melee range, marine bots can shoot behind themselves.
They don't do what you want them to. Yes they are playable, but damn, they are annoying.
