Go to https://alterware.dev/ and click download.
It will open a new page where you have to click on the blue highlight download page.
This will lead you to Github where at the bottom of the page at the section ''Assets'' you want to download the ''alterware-launcher.exe''.
After downloading the exe. you have to move this exe. to your MW2 root folder and run it.

If you don't know how to find the folder, you can do this by going to your steam library and going to MW2, then click on the cog on the right, go to files and then browse local files.

The launcher may prompt you with a few questions designed to assist you in setting it up correctly. Once the update process is complete, the AlterWare client for the current game should open automatically.
Adding Bots
Go to https://www.moddb.com/mods/bot-warfare/downloads and download the latest version of botwarfare for MW2.
You have to unzip the file you just downloaded so make sure to have a program that can unpack/extract .zip files (WinRAR, 7zip, etc.)
Most modern PC/Laptops come with a program build in.

Then after you unzipped the file locate your MW2 install folder.
You can easily locate it by going to the game in steam and right clicking the game, manage and then browse local files or the cog on the right, properties, installed files, browse.
Open ''Move files to root of MW2 folder'' and move mods to root of MW2 folder.
The folder/file structure should look like ''MW2 game folder\mods\mp_bots\z_svr_bots.iwd''.

The mod is now installed, now run your game.
If you are a dedicated server, you will need to set the DVAR 'fs_game' to 'mods/mp_bots'
If you are not a dedicated server, open the ''Mods'' option from the main menu of the game and select 'mp_bots' and then 'Launch'.
The mod should be loaded.

You can open the menu by pressing the Action Slot 2 key (default '5').
You can navigate the options by pressing your movement keys (default WASD), and you can select options by pressing your jump key (default SPACE).
Pressing the menu button again closes menus.

I looked him up and looked at his link, both his github and alterware download link go to the same page, they are both version v0.11.2 so the guide is still fully correct

@Arch, what part is incorrect? IW4X is under alterware and bot warfare is on MODDB

This guide is partially incorrect, it runs under {LINK REMOVED} now.
