Call of Duty: World at War on Xbox 360 – No Bot Mode, Here's What You Can Play

Call of Duty: World at War on Xbox 360 does not include a bot or offline AI multiplayer mode. If you're hoping to practice against computer-controlled opponents, you're out of luck on this platform.

Multiplayer Options on Xbox 360

• Xbox Live (Shut Down 2023): Official matchmaking is dead. Custom matches are only possible via System Link.
• System Link (LAN): Supports 2–18 consoles connected via Ethernet switch or crossover cable. Bots are not supported – human players only.
• Split-Screen (Local): 2 players for Co-op Campaign or Multiplayer. No bots available.
• Co-op Campaign: 2-player splitscreen (online or LAN) with the full story experience.

PC Version – Bots Exist Through Mods

• Vanilla PC: No bots in multiplayer.
• Mods: WAW Bot Mod, UGX Mod, and Custom Maps with scripted AI. Requires Steam version + mod tools.
• Console Commands: spawn_bot etc. – only work in devmap/cheat mode (sv_cheats 1) – not in matchmaking.

Zombies Mode (Solo / Co-op)

• Solo: Play alone against AI zombies across 4 maps (Nacht, Verruckt, Shi No Numa, Der Riese).
• Co-op: 2-player splitscreen / 4-player online (servers dead) / 4-player LAN.
• Custom Maps (PC): Hundreds of community maps with custom AI and Easter eggs.

If You Want Bot Matches on Console

• Call of Duty: Black Ops (1) / Black Ops 2 (Xbox 360): Combat Training mode – 1v6 bots, difficulty settings, all modes/maps. Best bot experience on 360.
• Modern Warfare 2 (2009) / 3: No bots.
• Ghosts / Advanced Warfare / BO3 (Xbox One/360): Bots in Private Match (Xbox One only for BO3).

Bottom Line: WaW 360 = Human-only MP. Play Zombies solo/co-op. For bots: Black Ops 1 Combat Training.
