BF2: LAN game with bots?

[geno]

Hi,
I'm trying to play someone in a LAN game for fun in BF2 and we're trying to start a local server that'll also spawn some bots so it's not just a 1v1... however neither of us see any options when creating the server to do this. Is it possible?

start a single player game, then the other ppl can get in via ip (multiplayer lan). the bots will stay.

Just start a singleplayer game. Join via IP on the internet browser.

Co-Op Mode: If you want to add bots to a local game and play in 'Co-op' style with a friend against them, first make sure you're connected to the Internet, and using your Online account start a singleplayer game. Write down the IP number shown during the loading screen. Then, on your friend's computer once again make sure they are connected to the Internet and using an Online account, then go to the Multiplayer screen and under the Internet server browser click the 'Join IP' button and enter the IP address you wrote down earlier. You should then be able to play with each other against bots on the 16 player singleplayer maps. Thanks to AverageNewbie for this tip.

I believe there are Co-op mods for this. I use them, but just for the altered maps included.
