yeah, their non-deserving for sure...

Infact theyre taking for granted thier happy little forum gets the damn game on display/demo.

They're favorite little forum / business owners would be creaming their dacks over this, and thier putting it down...

Hell, i hope bungie cuts all affiliation with that site altogether!

(they're complete bastards to one - another, as well as halo/ halo2)

On a happier note, the only thing that would make me think of bots in MP is the AI of Cheif, that stands there and let you shoot it... and if that is thier most developed bot... FOR SHAME... uhh.. i mean that wont put him in!
anyway.. we know about the bomb gametype from the alpha test!

Might be. Somewhere else in the update it said something about people with no Live and only 3-4 controllers will have a ton of fun playing this gametype. It also said something Master Chief AI that let you shoot it. It looks like Bots might be in Halo 2 after all. Woohoo!


More importantly, that looks like confirmation of 4-player split-screen. AFAIK this has not been verified before. What would make it really sweet is if you could take 4-players/box on live. I wouldn't get your hopes up about bots just yet. There is such a thing as meeting real people and having LAN parties. It's a hell of a lot more fun.

I wonder what the final tally of multiplayer maps will be. Hopefully it's a hell of a lot more than 13. If not, then there NEEDS to be downloadable content.

I think this means that there wont be bots cause there designing gametypes for SMALLER games with only 3-4 players so dont get your hopes up. Also the new maps and the hints of gametype make me drool uncontrollably. And there working on the FINAL multiplayer maps so dont expect a delay Nevember 9th is a near lock! And I couldn't be happier :-D.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Thier loss...I'm sure whoever owns penny arcade will have a "chat" with the mod who did that. They'll probably get the most hits on that site ever, this week...and banning the cause of that is bad buisness...

I say we just go over there, and just spam it, until the server dies.
:D

Unless I could get banned here for starting it...then NO! DONT DO IT!

Just kidding...but seriously, the massive amounts of PS2 fanboys there, flaming, is astounding...my god.

Penny Arcade hates Halo they said they'd rather pound nails thru their d1cks then play Halo and that it was complete $hit and there's no redemming qualities about it jokingly. Though seriously they said they only hated the repetitiveness of the levels put how funny is that?

Blaze97, Could you do the forums a favor? put an edit in your post saying that PA is a bunch of retarded monkeys, and that the update is mirrored just below your post.

Thanks :)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG

We just got CENSORED working and it's da bomb! No wait, that's a different game. But this game is going to be damn damn fun, especially for people with just a single box and no Xbox Live, but a bus load of controllers and lots of willing, friendly, yet competitive friends. And to think, we almost cut it!

POSSIBLE FRIGGING BOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

First off, Tycho and Gabe complained that Halo was too repetitive of their textures and geometry (read, Library and Two betrayals repeating AotCR). A year or two later though, they apparently found out Halo had multiplayer. That's when they (mostly) ate their own words (they also put blame more on M$ and the simply nature of rushing products than Bungie's on the repetition of textures).

" So, I love Bungie again. And I'm sorry for hitting them. And even though it might be weird, I hope they can come to my birthday party in February."

Granted, I'm not excusing any PAers behaviors in their forums, just figured you guys might be interested in a little "FYI." Sorry for all those links.

The game becomes steadily more fun. Jaime mocked up a fake multiplayer game with some Master Chief AI that just stands around and lets you shoot it – so I spent about half an hour exploring some new physics in-depth.
 


On the BOT ideas, I think this update verifies almost without a doubt that bots don't exist. Bungie is very close to a finished Halo 2. There is no reason that one guy would "whip up" real quick a poor AI if they had bots under development. AI for MP is not something that is halfa$$ed. Games like BF:1942 have poor AI, and that's a MP only game! Bungie doesn't and won't ever put out such poor features. If BOTS are in, i'd expect they'd be very good bots indeed. Also, there wouldn't be so much mention in the update of making non LAN/non LIVE xbox's having more attention paid to them if there were BOTS. Why make good gametypes for 3-4 player matches if you can throw in an extra 12-13 bots? Bungie admited long ago to compteplating the bot idea, but all they could confirm is that they were going to make sure nonLAN/nonLIVE xbox's would have attention paid to them too. Since it appears to me bots are out, Bungie is still holding true to their word by giving us other methods of small match enjoyment.

Oh, and please Bungie make me eat my words. ;) I'd really appreciate it . . . .
