I already have xbox live, but bots are good as well. good for practise and those without xbox live so i have also pressed yes. just like the nine people who voted before me.

I personally think that bots would be unworkable in halo2. They probably aren't that capable of thinking what the opponent is doing, or going to be doing. They'd probably never use the warthog cuz they wouldn't know where to go with it. They'd also be lousy at custom games wuth rules, such as bumper cars because they'd be always disobeying the rules, by using their plasma pistol to shoot evereybody, and will run over evereybody trying to get to the warthog. Plus they'd be annoying in team games because you can't develope strategies with bots.

Bots would do no harm and offer a lot of benifits to many Halo 2 players so I voted yes. But I'm sure that whatever Bungie do will be fine in the end

Not in 20 years could you make a bot have the same or better tactics of an actual player.

I hate when people say that. If you don't want them don't use them.just turn them off. And don't say it is just something for the critics to whine about because who cares! I people actually don't buy Halo 2 because it has sucky bots then thats there problem. If they suck you can also use them for fillers in games or for practice. I will get live in a week or so but I want bots for practice or for fillers in games with my mates.

I looked at that link but what did that prove it is just a picture of master chief with some other people?

They have to program rules into them, and give them goals, and behavior characteristics. Notice when you punch one or two elites in the back, all the other elites, grunts etc. don't start looking at their radar. Single player bots probably wouldn't be workable, unless you develope a gametype around them.

Yeah. Bots are limited. Even the most advanced bot AI wont stack up to a human. After a while their tactics get predicatable. With Humans, their tactics are always changing (except the most n00bish of n00bs). Makes for a better game. But I still support bots (because my family blows, and won't stay off the internet for more than an hour, meaning I can only get about an hour a day of lag-free gaming.)

Bots wouldn't even make that good practice, unless your practicing for beating halo 2 on legendary, because bots use different tactics than humans. Humans have a near infinite ability to come up with new plans, styles, and strategies. Once someone finds a bot's weakness, he can dominate it with no problem because the bot has a limited ability to learn. The bot doesn't know the weakness exhists, because nobody programmed into him the knowledge of this weakness. Such as shooting hunters in the back/neck. The human players dominate them because the hunters don't learn to not expose their backs and necks.

If you don't want bots then don't turn them on just keep them off. I'm sure bungie will alow that to happen if you don't want them. If bungie puts them in the game. I WANT BOTS

Even n00bs eventually get better, because they have the ability to learn (even subconciously) from their mistakes. everey time you pull a trick on a human player, theres always a slightly higher chance of it not working the next time.

I might even use Bots if bungie puts them in the game. I would just not want one on wy team, or have one in a 1 on 1 shoot out.

omg this has been asked hundreds of times by ppl and then everyone gets in an argument some say or most say bots whould be great because we dont have freinds and some say bots arn't any good and they piont to other games that had crappy bots like counter strike, james bond red faction 1 and 2... i dont really need bots beacuse the campian is sweeet engough and i have freinds and xbox live so i think bots whould be sweeet but time it takes to make a new AI code whould be huge soo i think we've waited long sooo i dont wanna wait another year...

Like me pulling a dealth from above on a guy by his flag base on hang 'em high. He thought he was being sneaky be hiding by the wall under the flag...hehehe...but the next time I saw him doing the same thing. I was like "are you serious?" I had the flag, jumped down, and killed him, and proceeded to corpse-hump him. little did I know he had a friend with active camo hiding behind him...damn...and that flag would've gave us the go-ahead score too...My opponents never let me forget it either...because they won...

Bots would be so pimp in halo 2. I mean I set it to like 50 sword elites and kick all there @$$$ with an energy sword. Then send in like an endless amount of grunts and just slaughter them till I get tired. Id love that.
