The CTFBot is one of the small group of bots dedicated to the most popular classic quake mod, Capture The Flag.
 
Navigation   Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5
The bot uses waypoints to navigate on certain maps. Waypoints are necessary because otherwise bot would have no knowledge of a level when they are spawned. Without waypoints, enemy bots generally take your flag only if they happen to spawn in your base.
With waypoints, however, bots know exactly how to get into your base and actually try to go there on purpose. The bots will assault the enemy base and try to rob the flag.
 
Combat   Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5
Although the CTFBot can be very good at combat tactics, when it comes to thinking strategically, the bots fall far short of human thinking.
The weapon handling of the bot is good, and in some occasions it will use the grappling hook for a shortcut.
 
Simulation   Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5 Rating 4/5
The player simulation is quite good, the bots act a lot like human players, except for organised attacks.
The bot does not use the grappling hook for tactical maneuvers (dodging) like human players do.
 
Modifications   Rating 5/5 Rating 5/5 Rating 5/5 Rating 5/5 Rating 5/5
Since the bot is dedicated to Capture The Flag, it cannot play any other kind of game. But the fact it plays this modification very well makes it a good modification bot.
 
Overall    
No doubt, the CTFBot is the best bot playing Classic Quake CTF. It is easy to set up, has a strong A.I. and will give you a lot of resistance, it just won't give the victory away for nothing.
The update includes several bug fixes and weapons view support, to enable this, you'll need to download the weapon model pack. The bot comes with a launcher, which can be used to set up your game very easily.
You need ThreeWave Capture The Flag 4.0 to play this.
