Think of it this way, you are siting around. A cold coke in your hand, you have nothing to do. Your friends are on vacation so they cant play H2 with you, only one of your friends come over. Since two person multiplayer gets realy predictable with all the screen looking and only one target, you decide to put in some bots. You set the bots to the max difficulty, theres many of them (H2 AI is top notch so it can be 99.9% realistic), you and your freind are on a team against lots of bots, who aren't as stupid and predictable as normal AI bots. You and your friend keep having to think quick because the bots are pinning you down with hot lead (or plasma :) ). You look over to your friend and you know what to do. You both run straight at the hordes of bots, guns blazing as lead is streaming through the air, suddenly a Bot, yes a bot, kills you with his pistol at long range OR a group of bots mows you down with the warthog. Either way the bots (AI) in H2, is realistic. If you havent seen the trailer for H2, the marines are now smart enough to protect themselves and drive vehicles with the precision of a human.
Although normal bots get boring after awhile, H2 is not normal...Its better.
I argree that human players are smaterter and more fun than bots, but somtimes its fun to massacure a huge number of bots with heavy weapons.
