iam not a non believer but that looked a bit fake on the really close up shot of his shoulder
its liked he had coloured in himself. oh and of course the shot of MC in single player, was a darker green because he was inside a really dark room and zanzibar is outside!!!!!!!!!!!!!


ok, he drew the rest of the shoulder to show that the logo fits with the 7th columb logo. and the lights in the room arent that dark. the jackels are pretty lit up to me. o, and play the silent cartographer in halo 1 and look at ur armor. not that light, is it?

1st of all I dont want Bunige to waste time on Bots, I want the game now.
2ed of all, Bungie can add anything they want to the game, so it may be added, just for screen shot effect. Doesnt work if more MCs are behind him, because it will make the other ones look inferior.


it wouldnt even matter it wont come out till november 9 so they should put bots in if they have enuf time which i bet they will cuz a game never comes out till like two monthes after its finished.

You all are REALLLLLLLY reaching out by saying that is what the completed shoulder image is. I could just as easily take a picture of an ear and say it's George Bushes. You have no idea what it could be.

Second, the spartan and the ODST's don't have red or blue armor, or any markings showing they are on the same team..so it probably wasn't taken during a multiplayer match

Third, if the ODSTS in the picture are AI controlled, how did they get them to pose for a screenshot?

I'M TO TIRED to go on sfijodscaps lock

It is possible that bungie was still working on zanzibar when they made that pic. Anyways, the odsts could be just put in there for looks by bungie. They are Bungie, so they can do anything they want with the engine, even puttining some well posed odsts on a multiplayer level for a screenshot, when they wheren't planning on having them in the final multiplayer games at all.

Eh, they(as the developers) can freeze that game at their command, for a screen.

yeah and they can control the bots because they made them so it wouldnt be that hard to make them pose.

yeah but why that one? Sure the Bungie developers are the puppet masters of Halo 2 -that should be a given- I don't think they've ever released something this year that didn't have some sort of disclaimer about how "this is all subject to change". But why release a screenshot (as precious as they are... and usually of an in-game momment) of a Spartan and two highly styialized ODST's (BR's at the ready) on the beach of a MPlevel that we all had been ogling at for a few weeks?

Why are they facing out to sea? Cause they're getting ready for US to arrive. If they were facing the other way it would be too obvious that they were they're to do some fighting (mind you this is still really looking like Za-blam!-bar... the most concrete MP level we've got).

There's something on his shoulder, and whatever it is -it's indicating that we're not in campaign mode. The Chief just doesn't get a pretty little flower on his shoulder cause the UNSC thought it'd be spiffy.

First, that level is on Zanzibar right? So wouldn't it be possible if Bungie took a background of Zanzibar, put 2 ODST's and MC in it? Throw an Emblem and a dif color in there, and bang you got yourself a nice looking picture. If there is Bots in MP I doubt they will be able to be anything but a Spartan or Elite.

the only proof i can think of is that Bungie said that Zanzibar was not in the campaign only multiplayer so he might be rigth

So they just outa the blue said "hey! lets get the map out that everyone knows is MP and will just throw some other characters in there that are rarely seen. That'll be a sweet picture!"

and then another developer says "hey lets get out the CENSORED map with the CENSORED, you know at the end of the CENSORED with all of the CENSORED's running around. That'll be a nice looking picture too."

and they decide to go with the zanzibar pic? I dunno man. I think they release screens sorta with more purpose than just throwing something together that looks good.

why would the bots be only spartans and elites, if this picture is of bots then thats ur answer right there, and if it isnt i STILL think that Bungie would add ODSTs as the bots cause they simply kick ass, and look so -blam!- awesome

Ok, think about it. At E3 They probably hadnt implemented ODST's yet. And look at the ODST's, there just like Spartans. They've got a helmet with a reflective visor. A full body suit. The hud wouldnt be any different from a regular hud, except the sheild indicator would be ARMOR. they could make it so in MP ODST's can do anything MC can do. At E3 people said that the Elites HUD was no different than a spartans hud, except it was PURPLE! And adding bots wouldnt change the release date, if they ARE ALREADY PLANNING to do it!

Plus, that woudl make for some interesting RvB episodes in Halo 2. =)

Alright guys, this is rediculous. That is not proof about the bots. I agree it would be cool about having bots and I am for them, especially if you don't have Live or there is no one on and you just want to kill some time shooting stuff with out being held by a mission. But what was posted was rediculous. Yes the patches are going to be there, because they were affirmed at E3.

The color issue with MC, well, yes the one on the left is of single player. You have to remember and its also been stated in the weekly updates. In the single player the graphics will be better and with more flare. The reason behind this is that all the processing power of the Xbox can go to the game and graphics. Where as online the processor has to also take in account the network traffic and voice. Because of this almost every game that has multiplayer has the graphics turned down just a little bit then they do in the single player mode. If you will notice also that MC is alot more detailed in the picture with the jackels then he is in the Zanzibar picture.

As for the picture with the ODSTs, well whos to say that the Zanzibar level is not part of the single player in some shape or fashion. Also its just a screen shot, the developers could have just put those characters there just because it looked good, doesn't actually have to be part of the game. That could be true since there are not really any pictures of the first person view of the game they are almost all in third person view.

So hopefully not to many people were dupped by this. Again I will say I for one would love to have some bot support, just for the extra cannon fodder. But lets quit the assumptions till they are confirmed with Bungie.

WORD!

Wow, this thread has been around for quite a while. I think that the site gives us a good clue that there might be bots in H2, but we can never be sure until Bungie says so. We can continue speculating, but it'll only be speculation. I certainly do hope Bungie has the good sense to put bots in and make the game enjoyable to all people, even those without Live.
