Just think of the possiblities. You may have no friends to play with, but you could play a possible 15 other jacked up bots.

IT WILL DELAY THE RELESE DATE!!! PETE PARSON ALREADY SAID " Their wont be bots in halo 2 and you know why they wont have bots? because their spending time on campain, xbox live, reagular multiplayer, and LAN multiplayer... I think bots whould rock BUT it will effect the release date and Pete parson already said no so why dwell on things that we cant get lets think about the sweet campain, and when you have the chance to have a couple freinds over play multiplayer. I want bots it's just not happining

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.

WTF!?!?! That's not true, jesus Christ Man I've explained this several times in this thread just read all of my posts on this thread about AI Bots they would not need to rewrite the AI codes.(Decides to kick the crap out of Hell_Jumper.)

Lol how many times have we herad that? IF you heard the interveiw wich ive posted 2 other times he said that bots wernt going to happen, I WANT bots just like everyone else but im not going to wait until im an old man... Most of the ppl here dont know the firt thing about AI codes. And bots in FPS dont work good anyway like jamesbond inb game the AI was great but on multiplayer it was horrible... Pete parson said their wasnt going to be any anyway so think about all the athor happy things halo 2 has to come... XBL drool...
\

The AI for all the James Bond games were week and sucked.

if u saw the documentary the person says that the new ai will look around and use there surroundings to try to destroy you.all they have to do is take the ai code they have right now and use it, maybe make a few tweaks but it wont take forever

if its suppose to be the best fps ever it must have bots


Exactly, and they have 6 months so why the hell not?!?!

I had to vote no because (no offense to the remarkable work Bungie is accomplishing with AI) BOTS ARE DUMB. Period. Granted, the AI enemies for the Halo 2 campaign mode are going to be remarkably intelligent for pieces of code, they will still just be pieces of code. I know that there are plenty of people who don't mind shooting at and getting shot at by mindless bots, and others also make very good points about bots making multiplayer more enjoyable in ther absence of other human players or Xbox Live. However, I've played Halo, both in multiplayer and campaign, for hundreds of hours by this point and I have never, ever, ever ever ever wanted there to be bots in the multiplayer for any reason. Bots at best are slightly annoying targets and at worst are the king programs of cheap. I have been pretty fortunate in being able to find people to play with and against for Halo, but I can say for certain that even if my multiplayer forays in Halo 2 were to be minimal (which is a laughable idea, but hey, I'm trying to illustrate my opinion here), I would rather play against a miniscule number of human players than have the same number of human players bolstered by any number of mute, irritating, wandering bots. Even with this opinion, the only reason I am adamantly against bots in multiplayer is because chances are that those bots would end up on Xbox Live games, and I do NOT want to pay good money to have what is likely to be the most enjoyable game I have yet played be tarnished by having to forage through Live games in search of purely human opponents. If it could be guaranteed that bots would NOT be allowed on Live, then I'd completely agree with bots for multiplayer. Unfortunately, I doubt that this is what would happen if bots were included in the multiplayer. And although several members of this board have stated that the majority of Halo players want bots, I have to disagree and say that it's a vocal minority of players who want bots, since I have (seriously, I'm not kidding here) yet to encounter any opinions outside this forum calling for bots in Halo 2. I know this post is just asking for some serious flame-age, but since the gaming world rarely proves to be ideal (although everything I've seen and read for Halo 2 is the most ideal stuff I've seen yet), I think that bots could be nice, but would almost certainly be a really horrible, bad, poopy idea.



That's it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU SIR ARE THE MOST IDIOTIC PERSON I"VE EVER MET!!!!!!!!!!(sorry about caps I'm just upset.) *Brutally beats Snarl P almost to death and puts a bullet into his arse.) You shall feel my wrath........All night long!

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

HOW THE -blam!- IS THIS POST ALIVE!!!!!!!!! I GAVE UP ON THIS LIKE 2 DAYS AGO. It was on the 4th page. Who the hell looks on the 4th page!!!! I want there to be bots, but if it would delay the release dates then they can just make bots for Slayer.That would make me happy, even more happy for CTF and oddball.Its simple take the Ai from Campaign put it in bots. They will at least be able to do Slayer. 1 gametype with bots would be great.More then 1 even better.

Except that it takes a lot of effort (development wise) that could be spent on better features. Bots are not that much fun.

It would be great to have bots but it would suck to have them when your playing on xbox live. think about it. your in a game with hardley any real people so the host decides he's going to fill up the remaining slots with bots wich you cant even talk to.

Bots taking a lot of time to create isn't a subjective argument. I seriously doubt bots will be in Halo 2 at release.

Please explain to me how I'm an idiot for presenting my viewpoint with reasoning and logic when the best new rebuttal someone can give me is "Snarl you're an idiot." Oh wait, I don't need it explained to me, you just made your grasp of reasoning abundantly clear in one paragraph or less. I wouldn't want to put too much stress on your brain.

I voted for no. If you want bots, play campaign or some lame PC FPS.

I've become more of a social gamer now; when I play a system link game of Halo, I ask the people on my floor to hook up to the network. If not enough people can, I get off my ass and do some studying.

come on who wouldnt want 2 have bots for halo 2. i mean think about it. Your at home bored and u just lost internet gameplay. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. ne-wayz. so u cant play halo 2 online but u stil want the thrill and adreniline rush of playing on a multiplayer map. there r 2 possoblities. 1- u play multiplayer and have no bots so u run around blowing ur self up and jumping hogs (still awesome) for 10 minutes till u fall asleep and die from falling and hitting ur head on a very pointy pen for some reason that is sticking straigh up and u never play halo 2 again. horrible isnt it. Or option 2. You select 16 bots 2 play wit. u customize them 2 fit ur needs 4 stay and guard the base as the other 3 help u attack the other 8 bot's flag. o and all the bots r on legendary skill level. ok so i got a littlw carried away but still its better 2 have bots.

1. people need bots who dont have x-box live or dont have a way to system link.
2. people need bots just to get familar with the maps and play by your self when the campaign is old.
3. release date wont get delayed if they use the Ai from the campaign and just make the bots avalible to slayer only, and the bots wont be that retarted
4. for the spartan bots just use the Marine A.I.
5. For your people that it would ruine gameplay for you turn them off.
6. for you people saying we dont have good enough reasons Shut the -blam!- up! You have no better reason to not have them, than we do to have them
