They would be so weak that they would only add to your boredom. Halo isn't nearly as simple as GOW where the maps are small, paths around the map are clearly defined, and there is cover everywhere. You can jump for one, and the cover isn't clearly defined, and AI would never be able to handle the variety of tactics that players use. Would an AI be able to know that theres a camper around the corner after five deaths?

Best just to buy Xbox Live. Or go read a book. Or learn how to play Baduk.

Personally, I think an actual "skilled" person in Halo 3 is someone who knows how to win with every weapon and combo in the game, not just a single weapon like the BR, Sniper, or even the AR. Of course, that excludes me, as I have yet to get a kill with dual plasma pistols. :D

On custom games, yes.

it would be cool if they let you set the bots and where they should go like you can give the bots a script to folow

Yes but it probably wont so I wont put much thought into it.

Good, bad, I'm the guy with the clichéd lines.

If there is a ton of effort put into the bot's AI, then sure. If not, then no.

i think bungie should go on match making and look at the way people play then make the bots play like people

Bots are tough cookies to get working fluently. They add to the processing needs of the game, and that's why Campaign's internet style is different; it draws more power, and is more vulnerable to lag hiccups.

I vote yes, I want them. Who doesn't want just everything that's nice in Halo: Reach? But if we're given a list of things we want in the game, it's not on my high priority list of things. I have Xbox Live, and I don't personally need bots (turn off communication, and they essentially are bots).

If progamming AI were that simple, then we'd easily have robots servants doing our homework for us by now.

You really want bots in Halo Reach? have you seen how the AI Marines and ODSTs play in Halo ODST and Halo 3? They suck and die uber fast, especially on Legendary.

It's impossible...Unless you dig the kind of enemies that stand there and do nothing. Then go for it.

Don't hate... ...loathe.

They don't do anything unless it works. Or that is what they shoot for anyway. Remember what the used to say 'bout a flame thrower, I think the same applies.
