Subject: Multi-Player AI BOTS for Halo 2

If you think about this really well, the fact of having AI Bots in the mutli player will help Halo 2 out tremendously i think! When you kill the Humans and get them against you they are pretty good, but not that good! If you add Bots into Halo 2 will change things Drastically! You can have hellza smart bots to play w/ if you dont have "Friends"...lol...or XBOX LIVE! If you have both and add bots it could help out with some of the CTF Major battles!

This is my take on bots. I think they would be a great addition to the game because I live about 10 minutes out of town, a small town, all of my friends have halo mostly but it's so hard to invite people over to play even 4 player. Sure I have 2 brothers and a sister but my sister likes the gamecube games like pikmin and animal crossing. My 1 bro likes morrowind and rpg games and my other bro likes gba games especially mario. So as you can see I really don't have many options to choose from. I don't find the single player very intriging and it's kind of boring now, so I mostly just mess around in multiplayer.

The only time I've lanned was at my bro's birthday there were 6 of us it was awesome fun. The reason Perfect Dark was oe of my favorite games ever was the sheer challenge of totally anihalating 8 dark sims teaming against me it's what kept the game alive. The same goes for super smash bros. and super smash bros. melee having bots made me constantly want to play multiplayer not go through the boring classic mode just for experience.

Bots are also an excellent way to hone your skills. I always use them to train my skills when I have extra time so I can get better than my siblings or friends without having to always invite them over. It would also greatly increase the replay value of the game having bots.

Also I don't have access to Live until I get broadband. A service station should be set up in my area within this year and I'm definently looking forward to faster internet and Live. But the fact is not everyone has live or can afford it so I think Bungie should compensate for this. The bots would also allow you to even out teams and fill in any spots to max out the game so that someone alone could have a massive 8 on 8 battle alone. You could also control them like in perfect dark where you made them defend or attack whoever you wished.

Sorry for the long post but that is the way I feel about bots. I feel strongly that Bungie should include them for the people who can't access live and have a hard time getting at least 4 people over to play. It would be a big let down if Bungie didn't add bots inI mean I'd still buy the game but it definently would'nt be all that I had hoped for. I'm sure they could do it with a some time and effort. After all they stated they wanted the game perfect...

I don't care if there are bots or not in Halo 2... and Bungie hasn't really stated anything saying on whether or not there will be or there won't be. I would prefer if there were bots though... just a little extra to an already great game.

A good bot idea, would be a bunch of elites running around trying to kill you, while you play CTF or KOTH.

I would like to have bots because I can't host my own 16 player games with my own rules.

I WANT BOTS! It is so boring when your friends are busy and your brother don't want to play with you. I get bored by myself and I would like Multiplayer Bots bacuse they would make it alot more fun. Plus if you have a friend over and it's just you and him/her, add some Bots and you got hours of fun! I mean if EA can make Bots for 007 Nightfire (really dumb Bots though), I think Bungie can definitly make some butt-kicking Bots.

Yes ofcourse they must have bots,but intelligent ones,no as they in for axample the world is not enough on N64 where they did just going around and shoot at you.Bungie said back in 2002 that their AI would have problems to play Oddball,the bots must both can hide and have the skull......short said they must think by themself as in single player,only on a larger scale and with more settings.

an uplink chip will get you a unique lever action shotgun! (just don't ask how it reloads)

Yeah, and we can use two of them at a time. Double WSTE-M action!
