If in e3 2003 demo of H2 your acompanied by ODST's in campaign mode, then why wouldn't you have them in MP. In the demo you had four ODST's and in one of the screenshots/wallpapers or whatever, you had what appeared to be an ODST team with you on Zanzibar(I do realized it could of been doctored for Marketing reasons). So, in MP you can have an option as the server to turn on/off ODST's?(and for Elites, maybe blue elites or something). That would mean up to 16 players(maybe more due to speculation) could have each 4 ODST's to acompany him with a total of 64 ODST's along with the XBL players(remember blue elites or something for those who are Elites) with a grand total of 80 personel fighting on a battle field with CTF or Team Slayer or Slayer or whatever. If this is true than it would of answered the bot question with there being bots without ruining playing against real people. Best of both worlds persay. It would create a very action intense MP battle! Please comment. Thanx.

ODST companions would only get in my way, i like to hide in corners and ambush people so 4 guys running aound behind me would kind of not be cool, but i wouldnt mind the other team to have them, id like to see a sniper to find cover to hide all four of his odst, that definantly would give him away, but even if, they dont have sheilds

I stopped reading after this. Campaign Mode and multiplayer
ARE COMPLETELY -blam!-ING DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE GAME!

i don't even understand how you could take one vague detail and turn
into one big, stupid, waste of fvkcing time theory.

I think it's a ridiculous idea, honestly. To have that many targets online playing would be cool, yes, but it's a whole different style of gameplay that would take a lot of time and effort that I would rather have them spending time making the original ideas better. The AI is gonna be good, but to control 4 squad members (And yes you would HAVE to control them or sniping and ambushing would be impossible) would take too much for fast and fun Halo gameplay. I dont like the idea of bots mainly because now you can have stats, and I want to see what people are actually doing against other players. Perfect Dark's stats didnt matter at all to me cause if your friend owned the game and played bots all the time you werent there, it was unbalanced.

I agree, and you asked for opinions but you seem to be getting mad when they say stuff you don't want to hear.
