lack of online play is not the only reason people want bots, and i dont see why so many people are against it.....it just doesnt make sense, all it would be is another awesome new feature added in Halo 2

The fact that Elites stand still, and growl with rage rather than keep pounding you with plasma makes them seem rather unchallenging.

the best use for bots is not just when you are all lonely and feel like playing multiplayer, but when you only have one or 2 friends over and you can't really have a tremendously awesome time with multiplayer. SO put in some bots and have at 'em! 16 person game with only 3 controllers!!

of course CTF wouldn't be GREAT, but prisoner rockets just isn't the same without 15 other people...
That's pretty much my opinion. Use them for a boost to the firepower, and action.

think about it, do you honestly think that Bungie would create a Bot that would be as predictable and easy as that?

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.


This is exactly my point, with patches via XBOX live or OXM reader disc downloads section, you can download patches with enhanced AI and new tactics... that way the bots can keep on changing just like human players.

That's an interesting idea, Downloading enhanced AI off xbox live.

I just don't want to see an elite in multiplayer who is at equal strength as you do something extremely dumb.
