uumm...no my friend, that is wrong. Please refer to the halo 2 FAQ. And that is all, not another magazine or insider from a friend, the FAQ has the correct info, which states thas bots are undecided at this point in time.

This is from HBO:
"Genius! (Everyone Else)
Aaron and Luis have been automating the stress testing. That means they have about 35 debug Xbox systems running overnight, with Master Chiefs running around pretty much randomly, tossing grenades and jumping around blasting aimlessly. In theory, if he gets near a vehicle, he could jump in and drive it around too, but since the system is automated, nobody's actually around to witness the insane nocturnal antics of 35 Master Chiefs.

The purpose of all this is some very useful data gathering. The guys can come in first thing in the morning, see if anything crashed, look at a newly compiled database and see exactly what caused the crash ­ or at least what master Chief was doing when the crash happened. In the long run it means that testers are getting more stable builds of the game and reducing test time is a big deal. A similar reduction in lightmap rendering time is also saving time ­ time that will be filled up making the game better and better."

I think this means also, that bots wouldn't be too much harder to work into H2............

Listen, I don't have Live, but I HAVE friends. But, they can't always come over. So, what coould be wrong with bots? If you don't like them, turn them off? Ever think of that?

I wouldn’t mind bots. XIII has ‘em, and playing online is just not fun for me. Some people are just TOO good at halo. My friends are fun to play halo with, but I wanna play 16 player death matches in (or on?) their new maps. They look like they were built with LANs in mind.

I'm sorry for my anti-bot post, but bots can occasionaly spoil games, take counterstrike for example (not a very good example i know) but the bots on that just made the single player laughable, all they did was camp and walk into walls.

Well, one if you set the CS bots to very hard, they're really smart (like running with knives out for speed, etc...) Also, bots don't necessarily ruin games, they can get annoying though, but like I said, they can be turned on or off. So someonee without Live, can still have a great time with a choatic battle? Someone give me ONE good reason why bots are bad, and no "They are stupid" Like a real reason. Also, if Bungie is gonna mae it the Single-Player AI, then why then hell not? Honestly.

I was waiting when another bot topic would be released! =:) Yeah I want to see bots, but so far Bungie has said zap, nada nothing. I do think they will be in the game for a couple reasons, but I'm too tired to bother typing them all out here. Either way, Bungie might let us know on Aug 24th. I certainly hope so.

the fact is bots cant ruin a game if you turn them off. they add to the 1player experience.they mean you dont have to kill campaign when your mates are at home or in church or having a bash. u can also use em to create a team battle with you and a m8 commanding loadsa ai. ever played perfect dark?n64

Bots arent that that fun to play with, they usually dont act realistacilly,

if you want to play with bots play the campaign.

Have you played unreal tournament 2004? The bots on that are genius! I hope there are bots on halo 2, so if i'm at a lan party and we don't have 16 people, we can just add in the neccesary amount of bots if we want to.

P.S. Lord Dagoth? Like from Morrowind?

I have to agree with the origional poster. Bots would be a great addition to the game. They could help fill in a few extra spots if you did'nt have Live. An would just in general enrich the game in other ways. There are even some interesting gametypes I could think of involving bots. Like for instance a survival gametype where you face waves of Flood an Covenent.
