"I can accept failure, everyone fails at something, but I can't accept not trying." - M. Jordan

From what I read of the weekly update I think its safe to say that there is AI controlled multiplayer bots.

I don't think H2 is going to have them...

Heres some keywords...

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.

I think they were joking about there being BOTS in H2....

Peace

well, in the update it said they created an AI controlled MC that stood there and let you shoot it... now obviously it isnt the smartest bot... !!!SHOOT ME!!!

but, i'm really assuming that is all they wanted to do with it.... to test the physics and such...

There is a good chance of bots, with the update confirming it a tiny bit more, but i think alot of people could create a bot that dumb, and if thats as advanced as Halo 2 bots in MP have gotten so far, its not exactly a good example of bots.

(i know theyre probably smarter, but its not perfect proof yet!)

SB-117

That gametype could just be a gametype thats fun for 4 people? Why do you assume there bots? Also if they only just made an Mc that LETS you shoot him then I doubt they have smart AI.

they would prolly just tested the AI to c how it reacted to being shot, how it dies, and how others react when a teammate dies.

  • 07.16.2004 8:30 PM PDT

Play as a team win as a team or die as a team!


Yeah bots in Multiplayer soon have fun guys with no Xbox Live!!

  • 07.16.2004 8:35 PM PDT

I drive the vehicles

I think they bots would be annoying when your trying to do something ecspecially in a CTF game right when they respond their going to be charging to my base.
But I think if bungie is up to it they could do it.

didnt bungie deny the use of bots in H2? sorry no link, but i remember reading an article about how bungie would rather have people playing online or with friends...

to keep from double posting, i mentioned why i t hink that bots will not be in Halo 2 here, in the thread labeled Update July 16. (last post on page 2, after the PA tirade).

In short, Halo 2 is too close to being finished for them to have one guy randomly whip out some basic AI code to test some simple physics. Granted, I'm very suprised I haven't seen any "NO bots in Halo 2" comments from bungie yet. You'd think by now its either "they aren't in" or "we're trying to get them in but can't comment b/c it could go either way." I guess that means everyone can still hold out optomism.

Here's to hoping.

Even a simple bit of AI, like Glitch's recruitment function would work well. It can be done intelligently. It doesn't have be as good as Freedom Fighter's intuitive AI.

Mind, you'd have an incentive to be a Spartan. Grunts don't take cover like Marines do.

------YOU CAN'T TAKE A GIRL TO THE LIBRARY!------

maybe they just have MC's that spawn and stand there. it could work where you get a few people that are playing FFA style game but while killing each other they are killing these "bots" that just stand there. there's a lot of ways you could go with that. having bots with different point values that are identified by color, the more valuable a bot the higher shields it would have making it harder to kill. could have random bots that explode when you killed them. lots of things you could do with it.

there is definately no concrete proof that there are the traditional bots in the game though.

I'm basing my opinion on how frankie worded it. If it really was the beginning of Bots entering Halo wouldn't he have flouted that? Or censored it? Not mention it in passing over physics testing like it was nothing more than bug crushing.

Oh whoa, simulcram bots! That's be awesome. "Frog Blast the VentCore!"
