Hello all! Quick update here. The launch has been smooth and we thank everyone for supporting us. We will be adding a bot difficulty option in our next patch. On top of that, we are also working hard on the next 2 maps (Ramskull's Grave and Crusader Guard), which are themes based on Ramskull and the Crusader's history. The maps will be released for free and will be included in the next major update.
Happy fraggin'

Patch 0.4.1 Beta Live! - Bots in Warmup and VAC temporarily reverted
We've added bots by default into the Warmup arena now. There will always be bots in there unless there are enough human players in which case the bots will despawn.
Also, we've temporarily disabled our VAC system so that those who have global VAC bans can still play. We are in contact with Valve about how we can specifically block people who have only been caught cheating on Wickland itself. Not globally. Our apologies for those affected by this.
A big update today! The number one requested feature and one of our Early Access promised features was having bots to practice against. Grab the latest build and frag some AI.
Features
Bots (via Practice Mode)
VAC (Valve Anti-Cheat) support. Players banned by VAC are no longer able to play online.
First person spectating (press "jump" while spectating to toggle 3rd and 1st person)
Spectate view includes player name in HUD so you can see who you are spectating
Bug Fixes
Preventing black/unlit models in the Camps
Match running timer now in sync across all players and spectators
Tass beam offset when hand models disabled
