Yes, very much so. Because I might lose my connection to Xbox Live soon. Which means no Online fun. And bots are awesome. Plus they couldn't hurt the game, if you don't want them in the game, don't use them.

As long as they can be set to an insane level of difficulty.

Yes, there should be bots so you can have a 16 player game without having to get 16 people together, and if you could configure their difficulty, that would be Halo Multiplayer Heaven, me vs 15 bots, i can't wait.

I hope there will be bots in Halo 2. That would make multiplayer for me so much more fun, since I can't get broadband and thus can't get Xbox Live. They need to be almost fully customizable though, and maybe set them off by default so that it wouldn't upset players that don't want them. Maybe they could even disable them in certain game types or on Xbox Live.

You know, when Perfect Dark came out in 2000, the game made me into a huge fan of bots. I quickly shuned any FPS without their implementation, and when Halo rolled around, was very disappointed for the game not having bots.

But soon thereafter, someone form Bungie (I think it was Jason Jones) was being interviewed by a magazine and commented on why bots weren't included in Multiplayer. He said something like "we didn't include bots, because we didn't think it'd be very fun to have humans with bots just "filling in" space" or something to that effect (Not an exact quote).

After reading that, I came to realize that really, that's what bots are. "Space fillers". I'm glad Bungie didn't include bots. It made me get more proactive and go out to find some friends to get together those holy grail 16 player LAN parties. Even if it ment asking random people on the street if they play Halo (wich I did).



If any of you have played on XBconnect you'd know that it'd be IMPOSSIBLE for Bots to come up with some of the strats that human players do. Playing with bots would definitely make you a WORSE player as they are predictable and one-track minded. The only thing that Bungie could really do to make Bots challenging is to turn them into 100% accurate, cheating, killing machines (Like the Darksims in Perfect Dark) and that wouldn't make them any fun.


Bots suck, plain and simple. If you can't find friends, well that's too bad. I'd hate to see Bungie waste their time and rescources on such a meaningless endeavor when they can spend it doing much cooler things.
