One thing i really liked with Gears of War 2, was that you can have Bots in Multiplayer! Really good if you need to train abit before real MP. So here is my idea how the bots would work.

In multiplayer you can choose "Add Bot" while at the list of players, then a Bot appears named "Bot1(Bot)". And then you can press a on that bots name and a list of functions appear:

Bot Name: Bot1 (Here you can chage that bots name to whatever you want for example "John Doe")

Service Tag: N00B (For example)

Bot Appeareance (Here you can change its looks: Spartan,Elite. And then change stuff such as its armor to the armor types you've unlocked, voice, Emblem and color etc.)

Style: (Here you change the Bot will act while you play.)

Normal - The Bot will be playing normally.(Do a mix of all the avaible options.)

Aggresive - The Bot will rush and focus on killing the others.

Cower - The Bot will cower in corners and will defend the objective. (Like in CTF, they stand and guard the flag.)

Teamplayer - The Bot will follow and protect the nearest player, he will mainly focus on protect the objective carrier.

Hero - This Bot will try to take the Objective at all cost. (Taking the flag, bomb etc. This "Style" wil be turned to "Normal" if it is slayer.)

Driver - This bot will try to take a vehicle, no matter what, and drive it, a Teamplayer bot who is close will try to mount the gunner seat if possible.

Preffered Weapon: Example: Shotgun, Sniper etc.(This is the bots preffered weapon wich he will try to pick up if close.

Difficulty: (The Bots skill.)

Easy - He is worthless.

Normal - He is normal:P

Heroic - He is abit more skilled than Normal.

Legendary - This bot is awesome!

As far as i can see this idea would work, but maybe its hard to do AI routes and stuff for em.

Think while playing, for example: assualt, one bomb, you alone and the bots whit Cower on Sandtrap, and the shoot em down whit one rocket blast, lol would be funny :). Or make em all Heros and just wait for em to get there and slice em up whit a sword. Would be fun in my opinion.

EDITS:

Traits: (Here you can change the bots shield, health, damage, weapons etc.

It may be hard as hell for Bungie to syncronize the AI into the networking in Live, but seeing how Epic did that with Gears 2, it's not impossible.

Good if you don't have live and only have 1 controller.

To kill, or to be killed, thats the question!

Sounds awsome ;)

Should be available in forge and you can set their patrol area like respawn areas like forge already, or draw like a dots and then you like join them up.Then the bot walks around the patrol area or walks up and down the dot line.
