Almost everyone wants bots in Halo 2's Multiplayer except for Xbox Livers, so why doesn't Bungie put them in? I mean it would be awesome if you only had one friend over and were able to go 8 on 8 with bots and their AI would be good.

They're still taking a neutral stance on bots publicly, though I'm sure they've taken a position internally by now since they only have 4 months or so before the game is sent into production.

I want bots as well.

if they put bots in they should jsut put them in split screen, cuz in xbox live that would be -blam!-.

Yes, there is no point in having bots on XBL, since you should always be able to find other players.

Bots will be there

Bots are great for split screen, and online

Split screen = so if no1 is around
Xbox live = to fill up spots in games that have 8/16 players, so you have 16 instead of 8 (basically they take the place of anyone who doesnt show up)

So bots are good for both.

I know Bungie kicks major ass, but it would be really hard to make bots that are competant. Most games with bots they just run around and shoot. Thats why Halo never seemed to be the bot type of game to me. Most games with bots are run and gun, because the AI is easy program. Halo is slower paced, which is good. Though there is a mod where you can get bots on Blood Gulch. I wonder how well they work. Basically, I don't think bots would do justice to Halo 2. Halo requires more intelligence than other games with bots, so the AI would be a -blam!- to program.
