Downloaded the PRSP files and have been amazed at what the devs have done. The bots show better team work than many rounds on public servers. It's really helped me tweak my rifle accuracy for MP too.
Just a question tho : do the bots ever spawn at rally points or firebases? On some maps it is a long hike for them otherwise, and I can't take locations alone. Perhaps it is is not possible with BF2 engine..(?)

Re: Bot spawn locations
This has always been a point of contention for me, trying to get all of them to work more effectively.
1) The bots have a tendency to spawn off both human and bot Squad Leaders.
If the SL is on the ground and if the SL happens to be in some vehicles.
2) Firebases they will use. This can depend on where the action is, however.
If you are a squad leader and place a firebase near the action, they have a higher tendency to spawn off it.
3) Rally Points, not really.
Mapper placed RP's (or RP's placed by the mapper him/herself) bots seem to ignore even if placed much closer to the action.
RP's set by the SL during the game, they will sometimes use it.
4) and finally, standard spawn points, of course they use.
