I also think that Bots should be in the Halo2 i THink they should be allowed in all parts too including XBL. Only because some it would only be optional. I mean you can look at your game options before you enter a game and it will tell you if bots are enabled. At least i think so. I personaly would only use it off XBL because XBL to me is all about the human against human action.(and a little smack talk)

i dont think there should be ANY bots on (XBL at least) cuz they create more problems than they are worth, no matter how smart they are. For just 2-4 people on ONE x-box i think it would be a great thing to have, so u can all play on one team against a number of bots (especially if they were covenant bots!). Keep in mind guys, your skillz will only get so good just playing against bots all the time, so you would need to play real people to get better.

With Halo2 being an online game there are several things that people have to consider when you think about bots...
· Bandwidth....
· Processing....
· Skill....
· Fan want and need....

Okay with this in mind can the Xbox support it... I don't see any reason why not... With the new AI build for the covenant already in place.... Plus they have all the new capabilities such as search and destroy and call in the big guns when needed.... There seems no reason why they cant put it in using the current AI... And they already have Bots in the game for testing purposes right now...

Right now with the possibility of playing Coop on Xbox Live! it would seem like there would be no problem with the Bandwidth or Processing issue, since the Xbox's have to sync up and think for all the AI's already on screen.... So why can’t it do it for 4-15 extra smart AI's....

Okay now for skill there would have to be like everyone has been saying difficulty settings and that would be expected... I would think three to four settings would be more than enough but it would be cool if you could customize them too.... Such as make profiles for all your bots and make one a sniper and one a lets go and kill all or one a guard.... that would give you more options and all different strategies for the AI...

Now for the last thing Fan's wants and needs.... Well over 75% of the people on Bungie.net and on many other sites want Bots.... It has been a highly requested item that I have seen... And as far as a need... well, with Xbox Live! having the Clans built into it with the new 3.0 upgrade there will be a lot more issues with rank and who is better than who... And since it is an online service and not just LAN parties we are talking about people across the country playing on the same Clan... With that in mind, if you were in charge of a clan would you want to just play matches against teams all the time and get crushed because you have no strategy???? Would you want to put your clan against itself all the time and train that way???? Or would it just be easier to set up a time and a room on Xbox Live! for your clan to come in and learn how to play as a team and who is good at what with BOTS.....???? The Bots would make a person better or worse it would just give them the chance to play as a team and learn there Clan and not learn how to kill there clan... This would also be a good way to test for new clan members... set up a match with one or two prospective clan members and one or two current members against three to six bots.... Find out how good the people are and find out if you think they can get better... When it comes to Clan play bots would be a God sent....

As far as offline... It would be great for those all night LAN parties.... It would be good for warm up games... and also for the we are getting tiered of playing 4-on-4 lets get more people going times....

This is just my opinion....

Not everyone has someone to play with or x-box live. So i guess that bots would be nice.

Bot's would be nice, but who would the bots be? Covenant?


dude that would be freakin awesome if thebots would be covenant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it would be so cool to be able to practice on little grunts on multiplayer, aka throw grenades on them and watch them run in circles.:):):D

No Bots because Bots will slow down the uprising of online play. (We like online play...)


who said anything about putting bots on multiplayer?

Ok bots would be great for:
Newbies to train
to even multiplayer matches
and to just have lots of fun

Bad for:
Xbox live (no need for them cause its good to make real friends)
and thats about it

BUT... Bots would be great and make things more interisanting

I think bots would be great.
When you have two people and you want a war, they would help add to the numbers
and if you were alone and wanted to play multiplayer, bots would make that possible, and they could even and odd match, like if you had three people

and im sorry if someone posted these ideas for bots but i have a time limit and gtg soon
