Bungie said its difficult to get bots right. They have to get flags, drive around etc., I think if there are bots it'll be slayer only

hah...or at least cant host a lan party every day of their lives and dont have xbl but still wannna play everyday..bots would be very nice. i mean, unreal tounrment could do it...

Please bungie?

and cant the bots already drive? so will it be so much harder to make them drive some more?
i think they could figure it out. the makers of unreal games made it so you can tell them to attack defend or freelance..lets hope bungie does the same.

I remember me and my mates hooked up 3 xboxes and did 10 player Halo, it was crazy, we went in to my mates house at 6pm saturday and left the next day Sunday 6.00am........we played non-stop!

I'm not too fussed about bots, but it would be cool if your bored at home and dont have xbox live and want to play multiplayer against the computer.

I got broadband and i've waiting for Halo 2 to come out so then i can go Live.

I hope there are bots in Halo 2. It will be cool. Just 1 person playing against computer controlled players. I hope bungie makes bots for Halo 2.

I hope there is because i havnt got xbox live yet so i can play multi-player with the bots or just add them on when having a LAN party or something.

bots would be great but I wouldnt like them to be online. Having a team with half humans and half bots just idnt the same as having 100% humans.

Bots might be cool if you can tell them to just kill the enemy or just go straight for the flag, but they might do stuff that you don't want them to do. You can't coordinate an attack when there are bots on your team, unless they make it like campaign where the marines only go as far as you do. Even then, if you're hiding and don't want to be seen, the bots are going to be all around you and everybody would know you're there. And would you program them like the opponents on legendary or what, cause they are VERY accurate on legendary, just imagine legendary opponents with rocket launchers, sniper rifles, and other really good weapons that the computer-controlled enemies couldn't use. Of course, if you set it to easier than legendary, it would be too easy for multiplayer. Bots might be good for practice, but nowhere close to having real people over.

In most games they let you choose the diffucilty of the bots and yeah they would be nice but not as good as people honestly though I hope they have them because Im sick of playing multi player with my feet vs my hands .

In the level Assault on the Control Room, there was a sniper marine who wouldn't miss. Also in level Halo. Now just imagine a sniper bot with the armor of the Spartan. I don't know about you, but this sounds relatively challenging. These bots know exactly where to aim too. Just my $0.02.

Figure it out? we dont want it to turn into the terminator now

It's just a rumor at this point. The FAQ addresses the issue by not saying yes or no about bots. The latest weekly update from Frankie includes a message from Parsons (titled Parsons' Crazy Theory) which, if you read it carefully, thoughtfully, you could infer it is about whether bots will (or will not) be in Halo 2.
Personally, I doubt it, and I won't miss it if they aren't included.

OK i think it would be easy to put bots in the mp iv Sean some games wit some pretty good bots they Evan beat me. like in star worse academy in a ctf game 2 of bots always stayed at the flag and graded the it while you and the other bots or you friends want to get the flag and if you came over to it and stayed there for a min or something 1 went to get the flag
or in a ffa game they just want to kill every one it sucked you had ne control over them but it was a blast


im redfaction the bots ran around and killed ppl at random and in a ctf they just went after the flag and killed as they went.
