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!

*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
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.
