ioquake3 with the original maps and nothing else. Fraglimit 50, timelimit 30, and bots keeping the server warm between sessions.

Bots are not counted in the stats. Train against them as much as you like without it showing on the leaderboard — but the kills you take off them do not count either.

Pure original
