Bot will be great for halo, imagine a 16 player blood-gluch every time you play. Me and my friends are starting to find Halo boring now with only 5 people. Bots will add tons of replay value.

NO BOTS! Bots aren't that smart, they don't think like a human, and they aren't overly intelligent.Unless Bungie spends helluva time with them, they will suck horibbly.Most bots are predictable so you can sit and snipe 'em alll day. Without bot's your forced to play the game on a harder diffuculty challenging yourself to do certain things, i.e only melee your way through a level, something challenging.(Imagine that, doing something hard for once). Basically my above statement says why to my opnion of no bots.

The whole point is, not that we don't have friends, it's we don't have enough people to play. I mean, I have to wait like two or three weeks just to play 2 on 2. So, what is the problem with having bots. Yes, they aren't extremely intelligent but what made Legendary hard? It had ALOT of Covenant. When playing Multiplayer just have alot of bots. Anyways ....

ON/OFF

Click the damn off button ...

you know what, for people people saying no, you just TURN BOTS OFF!!! SO what if you have x-box live... thats great. go play x-box live. NOt everyone can afford it. Not everyone has an arsenal of friends awaiting the next halo lan. The MAJORITY of halo players would benefit from bots. And if you don't like bots, you don't turn them on, its that simple.

Man some of these arguments are so selfish, it is kind of sickening.

with the new halo2 AI it wount be to hard (they might have to tweek for CTF though but only a little) and even if you do have live, they could be used for clan trianing. and set to all the campaign dificultys.

Every single word he said is true. As for the delay time on making the bots shouldnt take that long if they used previously madr AI.

*YAWN* This thread is just annoying now. Apparently Abrams can't accept that bots are a no-go and insists that anyone who disagrees with his opinion on including bots is an idiot. Blah blah blah, come up with a better defense then "I don't know enough Halo players" and "Just turn the bots off". These statements just don't cut it as serious reasons to bring down the Halo experience for everyone else.

But "I don't have enough Halo players" and "Just turn them off" is a reasonable defense. The people that voted yes would like to play Halo with more then two people, but not everyone around them plays Halo, likes Halo, or wants to, so since we don't have enough players we want bots. We know that they aren't going to be intelligent as humans, of course not it will have programmed reactions. Ok, we get it but if you think about it, when you actually play Halo single player ....You are playing against damn bots. You aren't playing against humans. So why do you play? Take those out so that humans can only play. We just want to play Multiplayer with the A.I. in a CTF game. And turn the bots off is a good defense, I mean you might not like infinite grenades so should Bungie recall them and take that option out? NO! It is an option. Bottom line "If you don't want that turn it off." Most of the people that said no are people that have Xbox Live or have 16 people that can play but think about if you only had two people to play since Halo came out. You'd probably say "Oh no, I won't get bored." Well trust me, you can get pissed off.

Bots are not for people without friends.

Bots substitute for absent people. Ie, if you had a 2vs2 match, the remaining 12 spaces could be filled with AI.

Bots are not added to the existing number of players, Ie, you cant have 16 real players, and then include bots.

Bots is not an anti-social thing, on the contrary, its for enhancing social gaming.

Those with LIVE are the minority.

Those capable of lanning up multiple xboxs are the minority.

Those with 2 or more controllers, are the majority.

Every single point that can be made has already been made. Most posts now are just people who completely ignore the entire topic and post their dumbass opinion, without realising its either been proven wrong, or been said a thousand times.

DO ME A FAVOUR, ANYONE WHO POSTS AFTER ME, READ THE TOPIC FIRST!!!!!!!

For the love of god. If one more dumb f.uck posts saying "get some friends, bots are for newbs" im going to kill myself. Everyone is saying the same thing over and over again. I post a big long response, adressing EVERYTHING, and then a few posts later, people raise the same issues and questions again, its friggin frustrating. Abandon this topic now! Those with any sanity left will flee this festering ship!

WARNING: If you are bellow 15 years old your opinion is invalid, if you couldn't be bothered to read other peoples posts, your opinion is invalid.

YEAREARARARAGAGAGAGAGAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!??!? !?!?!

Do you know 16 halo players, with xboxs, 4 pads each, and 4 tvs? Its not something you can easily organise. "I dont know enough Halo players" is not a defense, its a reason. As I said before, those who play splitscreen multiplayer are the majority. And i've also said this before, IF bungie include bots, they would do so in a way that does not affect the rest of multiplayer. If including bots meant they would loose overal quality in multiplayer then they wouldn't include them. So, if Bots are included, its safe to say that Multiplayer wouldn't be affected, because Bungie was capable of doing it without negatively affecting the game.

Your opposed to bots being included if it affects the game due to diverted time and effort, I COMPLETELY AGREE. But, if it doesn't, and they are included, and multiplayer is completely fine, then there is no logical reason to oppose them.

IM AGREEING WITH YOU. CHRIST.

na ah, no bots, nope, nil, nada, bots are evil, if bots do get put in please don't make them available for use online, I hate going into a room to find its filled with bots, maybe for home multiplayer, training etc, but I don't see Bungie doing that, though, could be interesting...

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

bos rule, and i doubt it would be overly difficult to make them formidable foes. i trust that bungie will do whatever is right, and will make multiplayer an enjoyable experiance for everybody.

my speculation is that bots may be only avaliable in the "assaule" gametype. this is because the ai is objective based, instead of the billions of different possibilities in a slayer gametype.

AHHHHHHHH *Tears hair out*

Have you played warcraft? In that, matches which count to your overal score and rank are designed specifically, so that people cant put in whacky variables and stuff. SO If bots were in Halo 2, you could have them on LIVE, but in 'custom matches' that dont count towards your overall rank and stats. GET IT? GOOD! BECAUSE I'VE SAID IT ALREADY, LIKE 5 TIMES, JUST LIKE I'VE BEEN REPEATING MYSELF THROUGHOUT THIS THREAD AND EVERY OTHER THREAD THAT HAS EVER BEEN POSTED ON THIS GODFORSAKEN SUBJECT!!!!!!!!

Again, im not saying this is how it should be done, im just giving 1 of hundreds of examples of how bots could be implemented effectively.

Abrams Tank, stop spamming with your stupid WORT WORT WORT VOTE! PEOPLE KNOW THEY CAN VOTE, THEY DONT NEED YOUR DUMBASS NAGGING THEM.

Well, i guess there are many people that want bots in the games because exactly the people without live would get bored after a few monds(but still great fun with singleplayer!!!)And i'm one of those guy's that does'nt have xbox-live, but i can link with 6 more friends in my neighberhood(but that's only one's at 3 weeks or something)
So i guess there must be more people that would like bots in the game.
But still, i'm gonna have xbox-live maybe if we get halo2(in Holand...)and then i practise mostly with bots then most of the time(cause i'll get my ass kicked on xbox-live for sure)
And ofcourse, it will make the gameplay length longer
Oh well, think i'm gonna get my old little friend halo out of the box again...

Please give me a demo Bungie:D Or at least the old demo to kill the time... Oh well...

I hope Bungie will be reasonable enough to include bots in multiplayer! In my country (Portugal), Halo missed the 20/20 cause of that. Sow If they have something in their head, besides hair, they wont make the same mistake. And if they haven’t made them yet, they should, cause from what I’ve heard in the latest Bungie Weakly Update they’re already finishing stuff and the game will be ready before it’s launch date, therefore they have plenty of time to include Bots (even if that means creating some new AI).

PLEASE BUNGIE INCLUDE BOTS IN HALO 2 AND BE SURE THAT YOU’RE GONNA ROCK THE CHEESE OF A 20!!!!!

  • 06.08.2004 2:29 AM PDT

Driven to distraction. ^_^

I'd want bots, if only to play CTF.
No matter what anyone says, you cant play 2v2 CTF on blood gulch (1 attacking, 1 defending and no backup).
Even if I didn't use them, it'd be nice to know they are there.

...and Prohass, I completely simpathise with you.

Lol, I've got no problems with your arguments, Prohass. You've been giving really good, consistent reasoning which I've got no complaints about regardless of where we agree and disagree. It's really just Abrams that's annoying, he keeps doing the same junk over and over and over. Aside from a lot of Abrams argument, by this point I can't really say I'd be opposed to bots since there are plenty of people here who agree that they'd be fine with offline-only play. As long as all the good points are made, that's all I really care about.
