Using Bot Warfare

Start Call of Duty: World at War multiplayer.

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

In-Game Menu

In a System Link or private match, press X + RS to open the Bot Warfare menu. Use it to add bots, change bot difficulty, and adjust settings.

Bot Limits and Performance

Use the Bot awareness quality setting in the Bot Warfare menu to balance performance and responsiveness. Lower settings use less performance, but bots take longer to notice enemies. Medium is the default starting point.

Xbox 360 performance

There is no fixed bot limit. Start with a small number of bots and add more gradually. If the match slows down, lower Bot awareness quality or reduce the bot count.

Xenia can handle more bots than Xbox 360, depending on the map and your PC. Start lower and increase the count if performance stays stable.

Rename Bots

Bot names are stored in botnames.txt.

Open the file and add one bot name per line:

• DirectoryCall of Duty - World at War

  • Directory_codxe

    • Directorymods

      • Directorybot_warfare

        • Directoryscriptdata
