I did this in a poll but this descussion is based on bots.

Sorry if these are old pics but here are some pics of ODST's in Zanzibar.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/halo2/screens.html?page=7 2

as you can see the trees behind the picture how they are crossed and look at the back and you see a cliff type thing now compare that with this picture, the elite with the sword looking down at the action.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/halo2/screens.html?page=7 0

see that where they are l can and this is a pic of just ODST's in a pose position nothing special but imagine that in MP awaiting your orders.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox/action/halo2/screens.html?page=6 3

if you examined the pics carefully you can see ODST's in Zanzibar so unless theres a campain level of zanzibar well ODST's proven in MP, I want bots stupid or smart l dont care!

Has anyone got theories on bots or anymore proof of bots in MP

look at the first to links and you can see the crossed trees and other things exactly in zanzibar which is the secound link so if theres a campain level zanzibar then theres ODST's in MP Zanzibar?

You may be right but consider these points also.
1. They might not be BOTS. they might simply be a 'secret' multiplayer skin for say beating Halo 2's legendary or something or simply just available to play as from the start.
2. The may have been simply placed on the Zanzibar map as a one off to make a really nice screenshot (which it is, I had it as my wallpaper for ages)
3. It might be from the main games campaign mode, just on a level that really, really, really looks like Zanzibar. Remember death island on Halo PC? that looked just like silent cartographor from Halo 1 only it wasn't.

That maybe true but bungie would of said by now if you could choose different types of uniform ect but if it isnt bots sadly it would proberly be a campain level as you said about death Island, l still wont be suprised if there are bots/ODST's in MP when we buy halo 2.

it's too late to ask bungie to put stuff in the game. just have to hope they already put bots in.

polishing it up. getting rid of bugs, putting it all together and making sure it runs smootly with no problems. essentially its pretty much done. but they need to mass produce it make boxes,advertise etc

Thanx, l was reading other posts about bots and people are complaining that they are -blam!- and run straight into bases and all that but if you look at it like this, the bots run into the enemies base and they laughing at the bots look how dumb they are that would give you a chance to sneak behind them and kill em when there destracted by the bots does anyone else see it this way?

if they are dumb playing slayer based games (which a lot of modes are) would be utterly pointless. and a good human defense on CTF games would own bots. worth a go though, maybe. bots could beat the erm, newer players out there (dam non N word privilages)

Just to let you know, I was the one who thought of that theory (about a month ago), so don't try to claim it was your idea. I put all the evidence on a website, I suggest you read it.

One of the main reasons Halo didnt have bots is because of the A.I. They had focused on combat and not so much I'll get the flag or I'll defend the hill. Its difficult to program I assume after all they need to think about strategies for getting the flag and allies need to adjust to defending their flag carrier and stuff its more difficult than you may think.

Perhaps if they made bots for Slayer only it could work but they shoudl roam around and stuff instead of just standing there after being dropped off like in campaign.

Sorry to prove you wrong, but I did. June/12/2004, here is the original thread i posted on HBO

http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=438003

Also, i think the bots will be smart, acting like Elites in single player, dodging, ect, because they could take the Elite AI script and add different settings to it for CTF, TDM, ect. TDM would actually be pretty easy to edit, because it would be like saying their 'team' is covenant, so dont shoot. So yeah, AI should be pretty hardcore for bots.

What does that even prove? That youve posted it? Youve already said that. Anyway, the emblems are coloured, theyre not all white. Bungie probably just spawned some ODSTs in to take a cool looking picture, I don't think you should assume that there are bots just because theres a picture. I especially don't think there will be ODST bots either.

i believe there will be bots, but i dont go around telling ppl who dont believe in bots there wrong. Bungie has said nothing, and with that its a 50-50 chance (in my opinion with those reeealy old pics tho, its 60-40 favor of bots)

Bungie has said nothing



Parsons' Crazy Theory
OK everyone. Deep breath. Studio manager Parsons has a theory, that the unkind might refer to as crackpot, but he's thought it out, so we'll go along with it for a bit. So his theory boils down to this fundamental premise: "If you want a flying car, you must buy a Roomba." Now it gets more complex than that. Parsons thinks that the Roomba's tech is cool, but relatively inconsequential, but its social impact is of paramount importance.

Now a Roomba, for the uninitiated, is that robotic vacuum cleaner. He thinks that if you're cool with leaving a Robot, or SuckBot as I call it for short, to rampage around your house while you're out, then you'll be cool with all sorts of AI in your house and life. Like a fly-by-wire robot-driven car.

I'm sure there's a lot more to it than that, but that's the gist of it. I would counter that obviously Robots are good at one thing: Rampaging. And there are further problems. For starters, they never have hands, always claws, gaping sucking maws, or lasers. None of these implements is useful for hugging, massaging or any other things you think you might want in your house.
(Source: Halo 2 Update 5/28/04)

Edit: I highlighted key terms

Now, this is to due with robots right? What purpose would it have in a Halo 2 update, other than if it were talking about AI? aka bots... hmmm, if thats not proof i dont know what is.
