Its Halo 2 there should be a way to were u can have bots that learn from Your movements and tactics and judge Your next move like real Ai not premade tactics but like but like a real learning thinking being,example a data base that controls the bots over your internet and tells the bot what to do to u and if the bot gets to hard for you can reset its learning to the begining,but if u dont have internet the premade deficulty should do fine for a while.

DUDE, people, friends, foes. I bring word form the village that bots are not bad. If they come in to the halo we will not be mad. They will help us learn, we can play togther or against, we will us them for fun. Poeple of bungie, I have used these bots on other places and I like the way they help me to have fun.

OK, what i'm tring to say is if they put in bots all they will do to us is good. What bad will come from bots people? Besides giving people more MP experianise. I have XBOX LIVE and I want bots. I still us them in counter-strike to today. In perfect dark, what was the funnist thing about it, MP agaist bot. I'm I right?!!!! with out bots there will be a holein halo 2. That hole will be filled in by bots. The rating of the game wouldn't do down with bots, It will go up. We don't want half-life 2 to beat our halo do you. So vote for bots and show bungie how much you care.

if they do have bots, you should be able to set them to any difficulty and any amount you want, so it can be you and your friend vs 100 legendary elites, that would be the ultimate training for XBL

The bots will be as intelligent as the AI in the game if not better (having the advantages of the Spartan); so I don't see how it would ruin the game. We already know that the marines can drive, and the covenant always have, I think it would be pretty fun.

Also: I think that any sort of bots in Live should simply be filling spots. So if the game has 7 people in it; there could be 3 bots, but if somebody wanted to join, they could, and one bot would go away. This could be an option of course, since it would mess up the statistics but it makes sense.

The death from the AI should not be counted in Money games the bots should be turned on or off its the clients choice I hope.

I can live with bots as long as they aren't on xbl, because in Unreal Tournament it is extremely unsatisfying to kill a bot in multiplayer/to be killed by one. You just know it's not a real person (they all have the same names)

Bungie has to be 100% satisfied with everything they put into the game and so do I. THey said to put them in they have to make the bots act like humans, and thats not easy. Bots would rule if they acted like people but seriosly, Your playing CTF on a level and your coordinating your team, and you want these two people to watch the base no matter what. How would you tell a bot to do that if you don't have any control over them, it would be chaos. They probably wouldnt even go to a vehicle. It would be freaking hard as hell to program a bot that is smart enough to go in a Banshee when it starts, then after it dies it goes for a sniper rifle and finds a nice hidden spot to hide and pick people off, then after that get in a worthog and wait for a passanger to load so it has a gunner. I dont really think that bots could ever get that smart, for if they did they would be fun as hell to battle, ortherwise they are just going to typical, predictable, and believable, and you wont have fun playing against them live.

YES!!!!!! I GET SO FREAKIN BORED WHEN MY FRIENDS CANT COME OVER AND I DONT HAVE XBL AND I NEED SOMEONE TO PLAY AGAINST IN MULTIPLAYER!!! I SAY YES!!!!!!!!!

they should have premade bot strategies. Like agressive, defensive, sniper, gunner, driver... and the person in 1st place for a team can edit their strategies on the fly.

the bots would definately be awesome. even in a primative game like perfect dark n64 you could command your simulants to guard you, attack a cirtain player, guard an area or attack an area. so why not in halo. potentially the best game ever made

i hope they have bots. i also hope that you can set the limit of bots from 1 to 16 bots in any level. also to make'em smart and so they can drive vehicles to run you over and so they can work as a team.

There is no reason to really not want Bots because if you dislike them, just turn them off...

It would greatly help people who cannot get XBox Live because they cannot always get 15 friends over for a lan match....

Why would anyone vote no on this? Why wouldn't it be cool to at least have the option to put them in? Even if you have xbox live or a bunch of friends. What if your XBOX LIVE is out, or all of you're friends died in a freak gasoline accident. Who would you play halo 2 with then? The bots, thats who. So i think bots should be included.

if there are bots i hope they could be as good as the ones in CZ

or you could have a mp gametype which is defend a base while waves upon waves of covies/flood/whatever get thrown at you and that would not require any extra coding

Ok i approve on bots. If you have different difficulty levels on bots u can train. Then have good stats when u play online. What i mean is have bots on regular multiplayer and not online.

Bots are too easy. Its not the same as playing against real people. Also if you had bots on your team, who do you think is going to end up with the most deaths? How are you going to organize an attack or defense with bots? Oh thats right you wont be able to.


Are you really that ignorant? If you dont want to use bots coz you think they are not smart enough for your l337 skills then DONT USE THEM! At least have them there as an option for people who want to. Why leave it out completely?

Bungie have said over and over again that they will make halo2 perfect and with so many people agreeing that there should be an option to use bots in some way, shape or form, it would be crazy for them to leave it out.

That's the only area were I say no to bots... Xbox Live is ment to play with other people, not Bots....

Now, if they have AI controled Obsticals that don't side with any person, then that is ok... (aka, flood that inhabit an area) They also cannot give any points or kills to anyone, just deaths...
