We all know halo 2 is going to have huge MP component especially regarding XBL but what about the little games between just you and a friend, games involving no more then 4 people. I mean stuff like not being able to drive with the flag and the possibillity of not having bots really limits the fun of playing MP. Teamwork is great and important but when you have teams of two or less it can kinda limit the fun you think.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

If you only playing with only 4 people then you would be playing on a small map where vehicles are not necessary. IMO it would be really silly to play WaterWorks with 4. Besides how would 2 people take out a warthog once you get the flag in it.

Well, even if you had bots they'd be next to useless strategically. Mind you. It'd still be better then not having them at all.

Well i think it would be fun having bots. Just imagine playing zanzibar with your friends when a horde of (bot)elites come charging through blasting the place to holy hell and you try to defend it against the bots.

That doesn't sound anywhere near as cool as a horde of players on another XBox charging through.

And for the person that started the initial thread, no, Bungie hasn't simply forgotten that not everyone can play 16 player games all the time. Have some faith.
