The code for the bots was completely rewritten because the old AI left much to be desired.
In short, the new AI code is only 20% of the old code, but has much more features. The bots and the performance have become noticeably better!
Also the bots have got new animations.
All changes in this update:

The new update
The new update will make some important changes to the game. In multiplayer it's now possible to play against bots and so the waiting time -until other players connect- gets shorten and more interesting.
Tha admin will have the possibility to kick the bots of a team and to start a match ' player team against bot team ' !
Of course, the admin can also kick all bots.
AI Improvements
Overall, the AI has been significantly improved and it's no longer as easy as in older versions to win a match. The bots are much more aggressive, more accurate and noticeably more actively taking flags.
Minimap
To improve the orientation, a MINIMAP has been added to each map. By pressing the 'M' button it can be enabled/disabled. With 'B' and 'N' buttons, the map can be enlarged/zoomed out.
2 new maps
As an addition there are two brand new maps:
Castle
A castle has to be stormed or defended.
Hardcore
A paintball hall with good coverage.

Patch v2.0.019 available
An updated version is available now and most of the suggestions of the community could be implemented. Learn more in the Changelog below.
The update also includes a new scene called 'Abandoned Building' and a new sniper marker.
To get some more life into multiplayer there are 2 important things that have been added to the lobby:
A voice announces if someone else created a room so you can run the game in background and wait for other players.
In addition a date for the next multiplayer event for your region is displayed in the lobby, so it's much easier to find other people online on a fix date.
I hope you like the improvements and wish you a merry christmas everyone!
