I've been hearing a lot of people say they don't want bots, caz they'll delay the game. Well, think for a moment. Lets say they have Elite bots you can fight. They don't really have to reprogram a whole AI, they could take a current Elite AI! Wow! That will delay the game right?! Same with any other covenants. As for marines, all they'd have to do would be to allow them to attack you... maybe add this thing into their AI that makes them think you betrayed them some how. The only REAL challenge would be to recreate a Spartan AI. Now, assuming there are Spartans (Fred, Linda, Etc.) in the game, then that shouldn't really be a problem either. But, if there aren't, then maybe they could take an Elite AI, play around with it a little, and wallah, you got yourself a Spartan. So if that's the main reason why you don't want bots, its resolved. Now, another thing I've been hearing is, "But it's nothing like the real thing!!!! (whining)" Well, nobody wants it to be! It CANT be like the real thing. But it's better than nothing isn't it? If you've beat the game on all difficulties, have no friends, no Xbox Live, or maybe your friends aren't available, then you would be bored to death! Well, you would use bots to train and practice! Or maybe you can't beat the game on Legendary. Maybe you have problems with Elites on Legendary. What would you do? You would practice against an Elite bot set to difficulty Legendary! And, as for bots not being the same as the AI in campaign (believe it or not, I've heard people say this), than you know nothing about programming or AI.
