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!

The weekly update says that there is a new game type that will be fun for 3-4 people and it said this. THIS DOES NOT mean that there are bots. 3-4 people? usually if u have 3 or 4 people u dont play with bots first of all. They never said 1 person or maybe 2. And in the article above that the said they said "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." It said a bus load of controllers...so obviously 3 or 4 and it said competitive friends willing to play which also means more than just you too. So bungie never made any speculations on any bots. Only a new game type for a full xbox of friends.

I'd have to agree it's not "proof" for all your reasons.

But then.. that's not proof that there are no bots either.

You're leaping to conclusions like anyone else.

Yes I don't see why people assume there are bots from this no-where-near-conclusive quote or any other so-called "proof" like the aesthetic screenshot with the ODSTs. I think people are just jumping to conclusions and we will just have to find out on November 9th

exactly so nobody should be making any conclusions about there being bots until they say there are bots...and plus bots would take away from the experience. Every game I have ever played wit bots the bots are retarded and just make u lose the meaning of the game. Plus I have not yet seen a game where bots actually use tactics and are like real people. Bots just run around anywhere and in the open and shoot.

I thought the update was proof that there weren't bots. If there were bots why would Frankie mention that one of the guys had to whip up an AI to practice shootinig at for physics testing? This late in the game they would have a fairly decent AI already around to shoot at without needing some guy to build an AI froms scratch. Just hope I'm wrong.

I need a weapon.

when im rich, im gonna make this game, and its gonna kinda be like twister . . . except instead, when u spin the spinner . . . u have to JUMP to conclusions . . . and the game will be called "JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS"<--------name the movie this is from

Anyhow, i posted this just to point out that everyone has been jumping to conclusions on the bot issue and we all should just wait till NOV 9

I believe he said that the AI that they had to build up was just a thing that sat there and did not shoot back:
"...fake multiplayer game with some Master Chief AI that just stands around and lets you shoot it..."

"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"

what about that. that points to there is bots. what conclusions do you have to jump to now?

Yeah... there are bots all right... it is too bad they won't implement those ones I mentioned into the final game... (it is also too bad they don't shoot back and are only meant for testing the physics).
