The new bot spawn points weren't in the released version—that's fixed now!
Bots were able to shoot through walls; I've FINALLY found the problem! And it's fixed!
COOP - There was an issue with the co-op spawn where players joining the match would fall through the map; this has been fixed, and the co-op spawn system has been overhauled.
Added safety measure: if a player falls through the map, they will return to their last known safe position.
