There was no proof for or against bots in the update just a 4 player gametype that sounds like it will totally rule

They even said in the update that they created some non-countering AI so they could test the physics.

couldn't they just put in the AI/characters from the Single Player?

Possibly they could of done that and just made it so they don't shoot back thus testing the physics and stuff while your killing in an environment and crap like that.
I really don't see where people got this bots idea from in the update. You see the word AI and you jump to the conclusion of bots :S Bots will never replace LANs and Live anyway. I'm not against bots but I really don't see what they have to do with that update.

cause bots are your next best friend when nobody is around, and if you dont have live and or you want to flesh out a LAN game or something...

Well made bots can really MAKE a game's MP functions. Ask any die-hard PD fan.

"I really don't see where people got this bots idea"


the "cause" was crude but it fits. it was in response to the above, I was saying this is why they want the bots so badly and derived bots where in from the update. and btw grow up and dont correct me on grammer, you understood me quite well ash55.

Ah yes it does fit ;)

And I really didn't understand because your "answer" had nothing to do with the "question"

Q: Where did people get this bots idea? (where being the main word)
Your A: Because theyre good for off-liners and fleshing out LANs

WTF?
I'm not arguing I'm just trying to say why I didn't understand the answer.

[ Note: I said where do people get the idea that bungie are hinting it not why they want them. I said I'm not against bots so I would like them too but I dont get where people get this "proof" from ;) ]

No. No bots.



It's what makes Halo unique. You have to meet/get people to play.

Sub-moronic Alex should be your name. Add something relevant to the conversation and quit badgering people cause they don't agree with you kid. Grow up.


Oh, and down with bots!!!

what if there was a grinder mode where all players would be on one team with one life and they have to face waves of flood/covenant/whatever and each wave is harder than the one before

THAT WOULD BE SWEET :-D

you know what would be cool, programming your own bots to do what you want them to. So you can have an army of bots specified to your strategies on your side and your mates bots on his side. It would add a little variety and it would be fun to decide your bots strengths and weaknesses. That is, if there are bots. If there are I expect something like this as bungie are masters of evolving stale ideas into something original and new.

the idea, about programming your "bots" would make perfect sense...
Really cool idea Ash!

I mean, if your doing a 4 on 4 CTF 2 flag style only 2 human players... you could "program" your bots to have a defend the flad style of attack... or you could program them to assault the flag... so to speak... it would take a bit of extra time, and the option to do so could be disabled if so wanted, but it would be a nice change.

(i mean program them before game, not during, so it adds a scissors rock paper tactical approach)
In my mind all programming would do, is you have three slots to choose...
Primary Objetive:
Secondary Objective:
Tertiary Objective:

Each slot has a scroll bar that you can choose certain play styles, and then your set!
