Using Bot Warfare

Start Call of Duty 4.

If the mod loaded, you will see the Mod: bot_warfare text in the top left:

Bot Limits

Xbox 360 bot limit

Use 7 or 8 bots for the best results. Higher bot counts will cause lag on Xbox 360.

Xenia bot limit

Xenia can handle higher bot counts than Xbox 360, depending on the map and your PC. Some maps can run up to 23 bots, but start lower and increase the count if performance stays stable.

In-Game Menu

Load a System Link or private match game and follow the instructions to open the menu.

Rename Bots

Bot names are stored in botnames.txt.

Open the file and add one bot name per line:

• DirectoryCall of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare

  • Directory_codxe

    • Directorymods

      • Directorybot_warfare

        • Directoryscriptdata
