What if they had bots included in multiplayer.

Not crappy bots, but they didn't spend too much time on it to get the release date delayed, as is the worry of many people supporting bots.

But what if they had Bots that you could update via Xbox Live or the Official Xbox Magazine Game Discs that come in every issue.

That way people could have bots, the release date wouldn't be delayed, and the bots could be updated with new/more difficult tactics as they are invented. Or even to fix glitches found in them.

Perfect Dark had a great multiplayer game going, that is until you found about the "wooziness effect". To me, the wooziness effect that you got whenever somebody punched you and not to mention it not clearing after you respawned severely curved the amount of time I spent playing it.

As for the idea for updatable bots, I agree that they should continue to update Halo 2 with changes in the AI, allowing for more variance. However, I feel that they should complete the bot structure and AI before releasing Halo 2. No xbox game should come out "unfinished". Everything should be in working order. No one will blame them for tweaking the gameplay to enhance it, but everyone will rag on it if it comes out without being completely finished.


As to be completely off topic, I feel it neccessary to inform you that my current state is in utter anger and outrage mixed with fear. Currently 2 -blam!-roaches have infiltrated my base. One is currently flanking my escape route downstairs and the other one proceeded to enter my room. I am currently taking shelter in the Computer room directly opposite of my room. Ammo is low, and the water pistol just isnt gonna cut it. Anybody have a spare MA5B? Or maybe a shottie would do. Hell, just give me the covenant carbine, thatll melt the -blam!- outa em.

i thought the woozyness effect in perfect dark was the result of a dart or something but i agree it should have stopped when you respawned.
As for cockroaches what kind of place are you staying at. apart from on tv i've never seen a roach

I think that they will already have bots perfected for the single player. All they need to do is transfer them to the multiplayer. The difficulty could be changed the same way; easy, normal, heroic, legendary. I want this since I do not have xbox live.

I live in Texas, namely houston. And to be so candid, the illegal immigrants bring a lotta garbage in.
