[color=gold] The picture that showed the difference in single player armor color to multiplayer armor. well the single player picture was from a very long time ago who is to say that they didnt change his color. also WHY would bungie put bots in one of THERE screen shots if they didnt want us to know about them. they have the ability to put a ODST and a spartan in a picture and put in any background they want. just becasue they exist in a multiplayer level does not mean that there can be bots. i wish they have bots but we cant conclude anything from that picture.

this isnt 100% proof of MP bots but I would say its pretty close to 100%

Very well thought out, and thanks Halo99 for bringing it to our attention. Personally, i think that it certainly makes it easier to believe that bots will be in the game. However, perhaps we are paying too much attention to detail in these screenshots. Only time will tell...

i think that the evidence shows a presence of bots in the game. i think they will be there. i hope so- sometimes LIVE! starts to suck (like when the whole system lags). or when your internet connection goes down.

I think Bungie has really heard the critics and they take things to heart and bots along with other complaints like the repetitive architecture will be implemented and fixed in Halo 2. Big complaint about multi player was that if you didn't have a system link going the bigger maps were pretty much useless (even a 2 on 2 on all the larger levels still feels lonely).

But who knows? ...obviously only Bungie. And that's ok. It's also ok if people want to ask the question "hey, what if...?".

The armor color might be b/c of location. Outside in hot equatorial sun vs indoor halogen lights

Yo it doesn't matter what the color difference is 'cause he's got a customizable thingy on his shoulder. Besides... it's a way brighter green imo.

the person who wrote the story isnt talking about the color, he is talking about the symbol. if the pic with theODSt's was a SP pic than it wouldnt have the 7th column on the MC's shoulder. it doesnt do anything with the color. its about that if the MC had the symbol on his shoulder than its MP if it doesnt than its SP. the person who came upwith this conclusion is very smart and u all should listen to him.

ok why the hell is everyome being optomistic? if you want a summary on why theres a chance of bots, here it is:

MC had a logo of 7th columb while standing near an ODTS (or watever), and it was on zanzibar. it was confirmed the logo's are only in MP, thus that being of MP footage. Theres another pic (released near the same time) of MC fighiting two jackels in a WELL LIGHTEN room, and his armor is dark (the darkness of halo 1's MC) and in the zanzibar one, his armor was a lighter green, a customized green. and lastly all of the trees and rocks are in another MP pic CLEARLY circled in that site. now, why would a SP map have the exact same locatipn as an MP map? there not that lazy and repeditive are they?

OMG! the symble is their because you can custumize your own stmbles in multiplayer some ppl these days... it was only in multiplayer because you cant customize your armor in campian.

I don't know why no one else has said this but it seems pretty clear to me that these probably aren't bots. The pose for one, but we'll disregard that. This is what I see in that screen shot and I think it's MUCH more likely.

The quote about getting the single player experience in MP and other hints seem to me that they are doing a class based multiplayer option. Not just Elites vs MCs, but brutes, elites, jackels, etc vs MCs, ODSTs, Marines, etc.

Humans vs aliens. All human controlled. Now this doesn't discount the bots theory that obviously you all REALLY want to happen, but I do think my thoery much more likely. It's a much more plausible reason why the ODSTs are in the shot.

I highly doubt there still is gonna be bots, it is one of the most simple things for them to just put models of marines in a mp level and line up masterchief and the marines and remember they have the ability to freeze the game and fly around like a spectator and get lined up good for a nice screenshot of masterchief and some marines in whatver level they want, you could easily do this just like you can mod halo pc for you to be able to put elites and grunts, etc. in bloodgultch or any level....comon people just from the comparesons of the levels in to different screenshots doesnt mean anything...

I just hope there is bots one way or another because then I wont always need live to have fun with multi-player and for all those people that dont have credit cards it would be great unless they make halo 2 game cards for xboxlive so i dont need a credit card but what ever i'll get one soon i hope for xbox live before halo 2 comes out


BOTS RULE i.e. Perfect Dark Oh Yeah Baby

maybe they saw the 50 bajillion threads on BOTS IN MULTIPLAYER BOTS IN MP!!!! so they decided to make us happy..
i really hope they have bots. and i hope the bots arent complete dumb @$$es, like the ones from Counter-strike. they aim at eachother for like, 2 minutes...then they decide to shoot.

but, i guess we'll haveta wait and see..unless frankie states in an update that bots will be included...coughyearightcough.
anyways, id perfer the surprise.
