Mmmm... I'd like it, but I can live without it since you need lots of dev time to make it any good.

Not really. There are bots already in the game, plenty of models to choose from and it's essentially CA or TDM. Without adding boss battles it could be done in a day.Quote:

When I say I'd like it, I'd like it IF it were done properly:Quote:

... if they just tack it on as a one day job of coding it'll be very poor and very boring but I don't want them to waste time on all the features that *would* make it work.
Custom maps are not needed in QL's specific case. Would make it better, but with fixed team spawns (near each other) it isn't much of an issue using the current big maps.
Plenty of models to choose from.
I don't think they will work on the AI, but maybe they could use CPMAs (if arqon added that when he worked at id). It isn't going to be challenging anyway.
Scoring system is very easy to do, and so is a simple weapon spawning system and making more and stronger bots spawn each round (up to X to not fill the spawn points causing telefrags or even server crash)
I'd say a simple "new" mod (because it's a copy of other games and probably existing quake1, 2 and 3 mods) is better than nothing.
I do get they could use that same time to work on other features (one day), but I don't think they will be added anyway since they weren't in 3 years and counting.
That's essentially what makes UT2004 Invasion different from TF2's new Mann VS Machine mode.Quote:

Pretty much EVERY Serious Sam game has been seriously awesome. Even BFE was playable, albeit colorless.Quote:
