Looking to shoot some bots

So, I have a hankering for some shooting. FPS, TPS, whatever. The thing is, I'm more in the mood for a deathmatchy experience, but for a variety of reasons, online is non-viable.
So I'm left with going up against bots. I'm just not sure what games have good bots, or any bots at all, for that matter. Here's the basic requirements:
-Deathmatch, or team deathmatch, or some sort of multiplayer kill-other-dudes option.
-Bots, of course. If I can command those on my side, even better.
-Console, or has a way to play it on macs. I lack a Windows machine.
Now, I also always enjoy a good grenade launcher in my games(no idea why), and vehicles, so these are both bonuses. I don't NEED these, however.
So. Any good suggestions?

Barring that there's always Unreal Tournament.
I'm serious. That game has the best bots in the entire history of the FPS genre.
You can order them around, and it does have a grenade launcher (several, actually!)
The bots aren't terrible either.
There any other things out there like them?

Oh shit. I remember setting up Darkbots with a map that has the fucking x-ray rifle. Two seconds after spawning you would simply die. Didn't matter where, they'd find you.
Invasion is a (sub-game-mode?) wherein you play on any map you want and survive increasingly difficult waves of monsters! It is insanely awesome and challenging. You will wind up facing dozens if not a hundred different monsters chasing you in a huge mob while you desperately jump around trying to kill them, stay safe, collect guns/ammo, and do awesome UT2K4 style acrobatic foot-work.
Plus the music is excellent and really gets you in the groove.
Damn now i want to chase down my CDs and find someone to invasion with.
UT 2k4
UT 3
Uh-oh I accidentally deleted my signature. Uh-oh!!
I still have nightmares about FistSim. The tranq gun sim was similarly frightening but there's nothing quite so awful as being trapped in a corner with FistSim bearing down on you.
Ahah.
Ahahahahahaha.
Yeah this is the biggest lie

You mean the AI? I will admit I would never let them take me anywhere in a vehicle. Otherwise, they aren't that bad.
Shame it doesn't seem to work on the 360...
Friendly AI.
Twice.
In one match.
I've never played offline again after that.
The actual combat AI is fine. DICE did a really lousy job of programming any kind of AI when they enter a vehicle. They pretty much go into kill mode with no regard to anything else. Still fun as far as bot matches go.

Examples: My own allies flattening me with the ramp to a landing boat. A fighter plane suddenly diving out of the sky to smash into my jeep. A grenade bounced off the hull of a tank right into my face. A shell from a friendly stationary anti armor cannon, gracefully arcing over the hill (and inches over the intended target's turret), falling down, down, down to detonate upon impact with my apc. It goes on.
That first one sounds hilarious

Is it just me, or were the bots in 2004 more competent than the ones in UT3? I tried botmatches and singleplayer through the campaign, but apart from the absolutely crazy dialogue and attempts at a setting (FLaG FLaG LOL), my team mates seemed like the most useless bunch on the planet. Whatever difficulty I was on, they weren't smart enough to achieve anything themselves (except maybe base defence, and that won't win you the game when you've got points to capture.), and ordering them around didn't result in much either. Playing UT2004 at least I felt as if my team mates were capable of holding the fort and prioritising targets for a push, which was useful.
Maybe I just need to try it again, but I just ended up feeling a whole lot of frustration with those bots.
How did I forget this game? SO MUCH FUN. Mine got stolen along with the rest of my cube games
I think you may be right, as far as capturing flags and nodes and stuff. The UT3 bots are fine at shooting and blowing shit up but they won't help you do SHIT in warfare or ctf. You might as well be playing alone.
Time splitters 2 would like to have some words with you.

It was like something out of a b-grade horror movie. I was prone on the beatch sniping at some machine gunners and when I scoped out to reload I noticed a shadow growing around me. As I turned to look around I died, killed by....an ally with a landing boat? When the death cam panned out I saw my two little boots sticking out from under the lowered ramp of the boat.
Oh, I played Time Splitter 2 and Future Perfect. I absolutely loved them both, and just wish I had had an XBOX to play online. The map editor in particular was GENIUS.
Still, PD's bots were better. Customizable personalities, and the difficulty levels were absolutely top-of-the-line. Meat sims couldn't hit you from point blank, while dark sims head-shotted you the moment they saw you. Dark sims did cheat some, though- they were faster, had more life, and seemed to know where you were.
You make we want to play this as a survival horror game. How long can you hold out until the Vehicles getcha?
Kaze Sim. Fuck. That. Guy.
