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.

Are you asking Bungie or the forum people? And what do you mean by "what will these be?"

Bots are basically AI that play instead of players so you get the MP "experience" without your friends especially if you dont have live

I would kick ass if you press X and A together and could call in a pelican filled full of ODST's or a dropship full of grunts if you are an elite, into the battle. You could only do this when occupying a certain area of the map. These bots would follow simple commands such as, hide , attack, defend the player, covering fire, follow, or hold. About 5 would be ok, or 3 with a warthog or whatever vehicle you want!! People would be constantly calling backup and it would be hard to regain control of the area such as a radar tower etc, but if there were lots of people you could tactically regain control and then call in your own attack. You could have a limit to how many time you do this

Thats a wonderful way to save the human race! Hey, why don't we call in nuke strikes on our own people? Psychology man. Make the enemy think were idiots. Sorry, I just felt like saying that stuff. Horrible idea for a command.

The elites would be so scared of our suicidal marines they would have to surrender to us

Elites aren't scared of crap. The Chief pulls out a rocket launcher on Halo 1 and they all flock to him. Its more of a magnetic attraction with the weapons that go boom.

I guess I just have that special touch with Elites. You gotta kill them tender...

Nukes will screw everybody up eventually. I suggest using the 2552 version of the Daisy Cutter. Twenty miles of Inferno Hell!

Prophets are super smart they might psych him out of just know what he's going to do.
prophet in mind "poor predictable humans always pick rock"
master chief in mind "good ol rock nothing beats that"

some of that sounds cool, but how about getting a bot with some grenades just blow an elite up .i mean if he dies who cares,its a bot. So theres another way u bomb maniacs can use grenades at close range.
