The AI is either amazingly smart or incredibly dumb
I didn't remember the campaign to be this way, I'm playing on ADEPT/MASTER and on most gameplay my allies will sometime STAND THERE DOING NOTHING AT ALL.

But once it's about the enemy, lol, try getting challenged 1v1 in serpentine, ♥♥♥♥ing impossible, the AI will see your every moves.

I know its stupid to get mad at such an old game but I get so much into the games... Then I just see a teammate standing there, it infuriates me I just smash my keyboard and press alt-F4. I can't ♥♥♥♥ing stand it.
Every ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game I have more score than my teammates, I have Brutalis, Saphire, Barktooth, Tamika, to my knowledge I dont have a bad team, I tried setting all my allies to "OFFENSE" nothing changes...

It's been atleast a week I've tried playing this but every match I encounter ATLEAST one of my ally doing a standing party, doing nothing... I shoot them, they start rambling : "dont shoot me im on your team",
but I dont notice any teammate. Im just trying to play mate

You might want to read the following about bots: http://liandri.beyondunreal.com/Bot

1v1 Serpentine is a rough map. Close range all the time, try to avoid the maze unless you can pick up a gun/health and go out straight. Try to find and walk the same route in which you can pick up guns and restore health. There are limited spawn points so get to know them to blast your opponent before they can get a gun.

1 Bot is pretty much always submissive to the real player, trying to defend you. They are like a dog on an elastic leash. If you don't move from area to area, they stand still as well. On searten skilllevels their radius of vision is small so it can be that you are fighting and they dont notice a thing even while they are trying to defend you. Walk towards the enemies or go to the other side of them and the bot will start helping you as the enemies get into it's radius.
You can assign tasks to your mates by browsing through the voice commands. I think the voice command button is V. Maybe try search and destroy?

The bots got their flaws, but once you play CSGO with a Bot running straight trough mid towards enemy spawn or runs into a molotov to then stand still, you know the bots in UT are quite smart.
On everything other than Team Deathmatch and free for all gamemodes, the friendly A.I can be extremely frustrating. All you have to do though is tell them using the voice command menu to go roam or defend or something. it's quick and easy, not a bother at all. Fixed. Q is a good key for it personally (or R in my case)
EDIT: Don't go on about that 'old games are worse so it's silly to get angry', compare the bots in this glorious game to the bots in Counter-Strike or CoD. There's an obvious winner. We've gone back in a LOT of ways, and generally IMO older games are far better.

May be they are just defending the base? Order them to attack if you don't want them there.

Sure bots are smart and good, I love that they have each their own stats but some times ... I tried everything, but the worst is the last mission of Assault where youre in a space ship
it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ nightmare
Im the only one doing the objectives, the rest scatters around mindlessly unless i set them to "cover me" while I do all the work, every orders work fine more or less.
Then when we get to the landing part, everyone suddenly sticks to me, regardless of ANY orders I give them, attack/defend/etc." So I'm left to do all the objectives by myself AGAIN because if I die, they all go back to me... this game destroyed my spirit
I can't even count the games where I get 75 and 2nd best got 19, some at 3 or 7 like what
