If you keep tabs on the modding community you will see some peeps have already gotten Bots to work fairly decent. As for map editing, one day... one great day...

i doubt it, but it would be cool, i hope bungies put more than 2 16 player maps and make them good. Battle Creek and Blood Gulch on xbox were my favorites. Now the PC version selection of map were nice.

I agree. Bungie has always said that bots never were and never will be an integral part of the multiplayer experience in their games. I can almost bet money Halo 2 will not have bots.

i dont know what the big deal is with bots. if you want to play against the computer then just play the single player game. on the other hand to be able to create your own map with zillions of bots where ever you wanted, that would be great!!

Bots are fun when you have no friends. But for those who do, then you have no reason for bots.

If they did have bots, I don't think that you would be able to just put as many as you want. Most FPS games put caps on bots according to map size and spawn points. Also, people want bots in multiplayer games for three reasons: 1) practice- for people who live out in the sticks (like myself), it's alot easier to get in practice on multiplayer maps with bots than to try to get a friend over that's not working when I'm working. 2) LAN Partys- Lots of people have played in LAN partys with over a dozen people in them but most of the time you can only get a handfull of people together. With bots you can get 16-player games with only 4 people. 3) It's FUN!!!!- If you've played unreal tournament, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Of course, after my little rant, I still will admit that the chances of Halo2 having bots for multiplayer maps are slim

yea well I'd like to know how to get bots on my computer. I'm sick of listening to my husband wine when I frag him 20 to nothing. It would be nice to kill someone else for a change. We end up playing unreal tournament instead. Very depressing when it could be the new 50$ awsome killing spree of pain. <sigh> Would be happy for advice on how to get bots.
