Poll: Do you think there should be a bot system in Halo 3: ODST? [closed]
Total Votes: 20
I beleive that this is something that bungie should have added to halo 3, but unfortunantly they did not. Before elaborating into my thoughts on the bot subject, let me explain what a bot system is. That way no one thinks I'm talking about mods.
Bots are basically randomized characters that the player can choose to add to the game when playing. You can normally throw in as many bots as you want all the way up the player limit. In halo's case, it is 16 (So you can add up to 15 bots if it was a feature in the game). In some cases, you can create your own bots or just let them be randomized. You can set a difficulty to a bot, that way you're not fighting mindless spartans and elite characters that can't properly wield a gun.
Here are some examples of when it would be great to be able to include bots:
Let's say your the 1 out of 10 people who just so happens to live in the middle of no where without friends and an internet connection. I'm sure you would appreciate the oppurtunity to play the game like everyone else can. This can be done with a bot system.
For the players that stay up until the only have one or two friends on the friends list that are online but not on halo. Bots would be great here. Unless you would prefer to play matchmaking.
Having a bot system can be the origin of new matchmaking playlists. That way you can always find a match, instead of searching for half an hour before giving up.
If you think about it, this is a great idea. If you do not have XBL you can basically experience the game like everyone else is able to. You can bring 3 friends over and run 4v4's against a team of bots. Instead of beating the crap out of each other because someone is winning (I've been hit with controllers before >_>). It can allow you to actually have fun instead of buying 3 controllers and killing the three unlucky spartans/elites (I have also done this). Plus with the ability to change the bots difficulty, you can practice or warm up easier after you've had a vacation from the game, or if you're one of those hardcore MLG players.
Explain your thoughts on this.
