I agree but if they make them work together tacticly it would be deadly. If they could drive each other around and stuff.

i dont think there should be bots. this will get rid of those awesome parties with ur friends and u can just sit around and play by ur self. bots would ruin the fun and wouldnt play like humans. so it would be like playing campain.

I like the idea of bots. I could use them to sharpen up my skills before going online or before a LAN party.

So that is why you have an option to use bots. You don't eat every second of the year, but you still have food right? Same thing with bots, you might not use them 24/7 but at least when you want them, they'll be there.

No offense, dude, but you make less sense than a high-security mental patient.

i would be awesome if you and 3 of your friends could go up against 50 bot elites all at once, now that would put your skill to the test

It would be cool, but I doubt it will ever happen.

In order for bots to work, they'd have to accurately mimic the actions of a human player. I do not believe that bots can be made that can make the decisions a human can. Think about it. If you're doing some slayer in blood gulch, there are so many possible strategies. You might want to get the sniper and go to the high ridge, you might get in a vehicle...there are too many tiny decisions that go into a halo game to make bots functional.

I know there will be an option if they ever made bots but it would Defeat the purpose of having people over to play since you would have bots. And they want you to do that. It would make people get together less.

I would like to see bot's because of choice, but they really are easy even on hardest settings for some games.
I think its more fun and social to have all your friends around your's or there's to go on Halo lan.

Well bots is a good thing for when halo 2 gets boring in co-op because you beet it a thousand times. Also because its better than when you dont have any friends over and you start playing 2 on 2 by your self. Unless you got X-live. like me

Don't worry, It is most likely that we will have AI bots this time around for Halo 2.

There should be bots but not weak ones. You should be able to select there difficulty level.

I guess bots would be ok if they were really kick ass smart bots. But if they sucked, that would ruin multiplayer. That's what the campaign is for. Anyways, what's the point of beating somebody's dead body with an AR if one of your friends isn't there to see it.

The bots are there to see it. plus bots can add fun to multiplayer cause you and your friend can beat up on the bots.

CTF Is great too. Like I've said before, By yourself Team Multiplayer action you just fill 1 of the spots on the Spartan Team or Elite team and the rest of your teammates are bots with the New AI that Bungie keeps talkin' about.

That basically says it all. I've played so many games with horrible AI on the bots, and that just sucks big time. I voted no - Halo 1 was perfect, and all I want is an upgrade to that.

Bungie has probably laid out what is going into mp, i think that if they dont have bots in multi then it will be a let down to the majority of halo/halo2 fans.

Ya that is exactly true. The disapointing halo fans part.
