UT2k3 has the only skilled bots I know (from the creator of the Quakeworld
Omicron bots), bf1942 bots simply look for a target. Even newbies would get
mad if a bot jumped in a tank or a plane right in front of them, or if the
bot wouldnt let loose of a battleship, even if a scout gave a target for
artillery. Don't tell anyone this is fun.
This not only counts for bf1942: bots are definetly a NO!

OK, I haven't played those maps in CTF.
But I was playing El Alamein along with 50 players, having o-so fun.
Next map however, was Berlin.
Great game (not), but this happens all too often.

Votekicking isnt really necessary.
Penalties work as well.
