I'm pretty sure you couldn't see which of your enemies were dead. Not sure about your own team.

Did you ever play the AQ2 Single Player mod? We basically put a bunch of standard Q2 monsters at interesting locations on the AQ2 maps so you could practice against them. Was quite popular after a while: a team of half a dozen people modding for pretty much every AQ2 map out there.

No, never even heard about that one. I remember that we tried several bot implementations with AQ2 at that time, but quite frankly - they sucked. Either it was boring (since these guys were just too stupid) or impossible (if you add enough bots that 2-4 _have_ to notice you if you take down one).

Maybe I need to search for my installation of Q2 again and give it a try on a slow weekend day ;)
