We are not completely sure if there are going to be any boots in halo 2 yet, but according to what frankie said...:
"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"
There will probably be bots, but how good at there gonna be? Will bungie make them harder by just coding them with perfect accuracy and spped or will bungie code the boots so that they actually "think" in the battlefield. I hope the bots are good, I rather play good bots than a bunch of noobs on xbox live. What do you think?

This is what has me concerned:

"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 was hoping all the multiplayer modes could be played with a single player, but this pretty much disproves that.

Did you notice the pun? The bomb, thats a different game? anyone played XIII? m,aybe sabotage me thinks? hmmm, I WANT BOTS! I will have Live and i do have Lan parties, but when i get in from a hard day at school, i just want a frag fest, no mess, so i go Counter Strike <best bots to date i think> and just slaughter the faceless enemies! its a great way to relieve stress coz on live everyone takes time and mucks around and you sometimes join half way!

personally when i think they are testing the AI i think they are testing the new ragdoll physics to see how they react when u use rockets, different guns, or vehicles to kill an enemy-and the reason they wernt at E3 '04 is cuz they are still testing it and making sure everything reacts like it should, just like all the vehicles or melee combos wernt done by E3 '04.

about and censored working and its da bomb. hmmmm. possibly a survival mode for 4 people. he does talk about how u need controllers and friends to use this mode that is "da bomb" so i dont think it will be bots. a survival mode where 4 people are against waves and waves of covies.

p.s. i do hope bots are in the final game tho :)

Bots in Halo 2 will probably be smehwere between heroic and legendary, but probably closer to the heroic side, so that theyre not impossible to kill, but do challnge you.

And for the retard who shouted at us to get live NOT EVERYONE CAN GET IT! they might not be able to afford it, or they might not be in a broadband area.

no, the only reaosn XBL works, is because it is broadband only, the only reason most online gameing works, is because the high speed people are fast enough so that the 56k stone agers dont make too mcuh lag.
