The thing that makes me think there will be bots is what Chirs Butcher said "When dealing with a title so hotly anticipated, the public will show little mercy if it falls short in any area."

Everything else I wanted in this game is there but damn bots are still tight lipped and will most likely remain that way. I'm sure if they don't include bots they will be falling short in the MP area. I just hope to god they include them.

OZbng, "bots" are computer opponents that can be placed in a multiplayer game.

it would be sweet to have bots, so when your not playing multiplayer with your friends, you can practice and get to know the maps better. the only problem, like in UT04, i HATE it when there are bots in an online match, its like, come on, whats the point of playing with bots when there are thousands of people out there....although i suppose if just you and your friend want to play CTF.....need a team....

all in all bots are ok.

lol i seriously think that im the only person that doesnt want bots in multi..... i think halo is good cause its pvp not pv crappy bots.... i wouldnt however mind bots spawns to keep the game interesting like having a gametype where each base has a bot spawnpoint and they'd just spawn in squads and charge the enemy base and do like human vs covenant wars

As long as bots is just an option, it would be wonderful.

cheers,

I hate to disagree with you, Bomboy, but the quote you referenced from Chris Butcher is in direct reference to the fact that Halo (1) was going to have an online element, but Bungie couldn't get it fully developed before the game was due (remember, they didn't have the luxury they do with Halo 2--Halo was an Xbox launch title--Halo 2 could, in theory, still not come out until early December (which is, technically, Fall)).
I don't see how it's possible to read bots into C.B.'s quote. C.B. goes on to talk all about the Halo 2 online alpha test, and bots aren't mentioned at all in the article (I picked mine up at Gamespot (formerly Babbage's) last night, so don't ban me, please).
My 2 cents on the whole bots idea is: I played the Timesplitters 2 MP with bots and was bored to tears. The fun ran out quickly. That's not to say that IF Bungie puts bots in Halo 2's MP it would cure my insomnia, I just don't think it'd give me the same continuing pleasure the single player campaign has in Halo (and I expect the campaign in Halo 2 to do as well).

I like my Covenant like i like my woman, screamin and with a sticky on there face.

it would be great if they had bots so that then if your alone at home and want to play someone one on one you could play a bot have like a covie running sround the level or something. and if you dont have access to xbox live because you dont have high speed
(damn it) I dont have to play me and myself practicing with my hands and running the other guy with my feet

But they would still be a good substitute if there are only 2 human players and they want to play CTF...

If their were bots, I would never put my contoller down. I quickly get bored of single player campaigns. And I can't really play multiplayer by myself. Anyways the multiplayer levels are usually better than playing single player. If there are bots, I hope they make them just like on campaign in that you can set their difficulty to legendary or easy.

yea that's a good idea difficulty from easy to legendary

How could you say no i could understand them not puttiong them in because they dont have time but not wanting bots come oh\n say your bb is down and you beat Halo2 campain to many times and you wanna learn the muiliplayer levels better and practice why not just put a few bots in it would be great. bungie wants to make this a good game so why not have bots it would be fun.

I said easy to legendary because in most games the bots are stupid and don't do crap, or are incredibly hard. But if bungie made bots like in single player, there would be no problem like that.

  • 04.27.2004 6:27 PM PDT

bots

I beat dead horses too.

No one knows if bots are in, but, in my expert *snicker* opinion they are out. Prove me wrong, I dare you. ;-)

personally i hate bots. But i can see ure point if u just want to practice...as long as bungie does them well. I hate bots that are to easy or too hard. With CTF i reckon it would be better to have a squad of marines air dropped in or sumthin...that would be cool

I totally agree, multiplayer bots require absolutley no skill. It would tone down people's skills, and I would like to have a challenge in Halo 2. I just hope the game is like Legendary Halo on Halo 2 Normal mode.

bots in multiplayer would be kick ass because i'm sick of having to play the same people that never have a chance of beating me
