Ok, all you people think you want bots in MP, but in reality . . . you don't. Have you ever played a game with bots in MP? They ALL suck! Now i know Halo 2 isnt just ANY game, its prolly gonna be the greatest game ever . . . but no matter how great the AI is, bots will never be as good as playing against real players for whatever reason and they will only serve to ruin the MP experience. So Bungie solved this problem. how u may ask? With XBOX Live! And if ur too cheap to buy DSL and XBOX Live, then your not hardcore enough (or good enough for that matter) to be playing MP and no one wants to play with you on Live anyhow. And heres another thought for the 5 of you that still dont have broadband . . . get together with ur friends and have a LAN party! OHHH i forgot, you prolly dont have any friends if your one of those people that wants bots for Halo 2. Well, i guess you're stuck playing Halo 2's amazing campaign . . . damn thats too f.u.c.k.en bad for you aint it?
Sorry about that . . . i just get sooo worked up when people keep posting this stupid ass thread about bots when they dont even know what theyre talking about.

I cant agree more what's the fun of playing deathmatch with faceless AI with predictable paterns and glitches. It would take to much time for Bungie to implement bots and I dont think they could get bots polished without delaying it so if you want Halo 2 november 9th 2005 then petition for your freaking bots.

I just get soooo worked up when people keep posting as stupid people do, and forget to use punctuation, and FReAKING PARAGRAPHS.

And next. Who are you to state what is and what is not going to be in Halo 2. There is absolutely no reason why Bots would degrade the fun in Halo 2.

Also, think of one more thing, its called internet connections, sometimes, they go down. And because of that, people like to be able to brood the time playing against bots. Bots are very good practice, and frankly unlike you, they probably play better and do not speak the language we are now more well aware of because of your post, Ignorance.

You do realize that not everyone will have live... right?

and besides, if you dont want bots in MP, I'm sure you'd have the option to switch it off.

edit: sorry, this post is for the subject creator

Dude, its 50 bucks . . . go get a job for a week and you can buy XBOX live. And if your not old enough to get a job, you shouldnt be playing HALO 2. Another thing i hate is a bunch of little ass kids playing online games and sucking it up.

Halo 2 is coming out November 9th, it's in stone. Bungie will do what it see's fit. Bot code is not very hard to write especially since they already have a lot of basics already done. To test the netcode they already have 300 Xbox's running with bots in them to test for glitches, netcode and other things. To make these guys follow the basic rules of combat which were already writen for single player AI, add a few objective based procedures for different map types and tell them to kick some major ass is not very hard.

Since i also don't have xbox live i can't fight hundreds around everywhere so bots would make it nice for me to fight something or i could just run around and shoot at spartans standing still

yeah ive played games like the newer James Bonds and Timesplitters with bots and they suck! period! theres not gonna be any GOOD bot . . . as far as internet connections go . . . if they go down, its usually not more than 1 day . . . and i think i can stop playing MP on Halo 2 for one day.

if bungie did implement bots then they would definitely have the option to turn them on/off. and if u dont want to play with them then u dont hav to. so why does it matter if they r in there or not. other people will be able to benefit from the bots.

I agree with that: but what if there was no live and all you had was either LAN parties or playing with bots? That'd be you're only entertainment

a game that is a perfect example of bots in thier prime is in perfect dark. that game would support four people and 9 bots that had different tendencies and AIs.

Bots are especially usefull if Halo 2 has community features that are designed for competition. If you think that AI is dumb, then I am wondering why you play Halo on legendary status? Would it not be the same on easy if you do not care about the performance of the AI?

Obviousely, Bungie has never tried to force feed options down your throat. The optimatch filters will obviousely include things that could cause people to be annoyed. For instance, I would love to have a feature to filter out people with closed minds. It would really allow for better game play. Good luck walking into the front door on Zanzibar. A little inovation and practice never hurt anybody but the enemy.

there will probably an optimatch feature that will only find games without bots for those that do not want to play against them on live. and on live there would be no purpose for bots because u would have plenty of people to play against. so u wouldnt need them
