A recent update introduced more content so I'm keen to play more Quake. That horde mode (thanks MachineGames) looks like a lot of fun but in the meantime here's me getting gibbed by bots.

Here's an excerpt of the patch notes:

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS
General Gameplay
Added option to disable automatic weapon switching on pickup (Note: This may not work with certain Add-ons)
Improved spawn logic to avoid spawning enemies when the player is on a spawn point

Horde Mode

Skill selection balance adjustments:
We’ve received community feedback that Horde Mode is too hard on Easy and too easy on the more difficult skill selections. To accommodate this feedback, we’ve made Horde Mode less difficult on Easy and more difficult on the Hard and Nightmare skill levels. We hope these balance changes are to your liking and look forward look forward to hearing from you on them!
Fewer enemies are spawned in each squad on Easy skill selection
Boss enemies will start showing up in earlier waves on Hard and Nightmare skill selections
Hard skill selection now starts with as many enemies as wave 3 had previously
Nightmare skill selection now starts with as many enemies as wave 6 had previously
Additional balance adjustments:
Ammo now respawns every 20 seconds instead of once per round
Enemies are now more tenacious – they will now route around the map and obstacles to find you. No more hiding and safely picking off harmless monsters from a distance!
Four player games will now spawn in double the enemies in each wave

Multiplayer
Removed ability to enable cheats in public multiplayer matches (Note: Cheats can still be enabled from a PC host in private matches)
Changed color of enemy text chat from red to green for increased contrast and improved legibility
Online multiplayer text chat messages can now be sent via the Pause Menu (Note: Only PC versions support text entry from physical keyboards)
Added option to toggle the scoreboard on/off with a button press instead of a button hold (in Gameplay Options)

Multiplayer Bots
Added Deathmatch bot support for all single player levels in the original campaign, courtesy of Jorge Martins (Check out their super useful guides made for community modders here)
Bots now roam around if the current map doesn't have items, finding their own roam goals
Bots now better handle maps with lots of air blasts that push them around
Improved bot navigation on MGDM1, and E1M2
