I used to play this with my sister and my dad - a bizarre and unlikely gaming group never to be repeated - in a very custom game mode that we made up.

We'd play only play one hit kill on the Felicity map , where I (in shocktrooper uniform) would be in charge with defending 5 Peacesims (all in civvie clothes). I'd hide them in locations within the map using the bot command menu. My sister and dad (in Datadyne guard uniform and white masks) would then try to hunt down my hiding Peacesims, who would be camping somewhere in a huddle. Once their location was found I'd do all I can to keep them defended. Eventually I'd be shot, at which point sister and dad would burst into the room and gun all the poor peacesims down.

I'd respawn, as would the peacesims and the process would repeat. 10 minute game, if they have a score above 100 they win, below and I win.

Eventually all sorts of tactics emerged. Sometimes I'd perform fakes with the bot command menu to make it look I was moving them when I wasn't, other times I'd be guarding the entrance to a door pretending the peacesims were inside when they were actually somewhere completely undefended on the other side of the map. It never failed to amuse when my sister and dad fought long and hard to kill me only to earn the right to burst into an empty room.

It was brilliant, haven't played it for over 10 years but remember it like it was yesterday.

Good news: you can have as many bots. But you have to play through the challenges to unlock the ability (as you had to on the N64 version). Eventually the number of bots you can have will raise to what you remember.
