...if there were no drunkards, we today, would have no hobos...and the world would be a boring place.

"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!!!!!!!!! "

I agree with you. Not putting bots in the game would make it boring for those (including me)who don't have Live. If you don't like them don't use them.

Why not have bots? It will be better to be able to play a multiplayer game by yourself. (Like in Medal Of Honor Rising Sun)

im not going to actually email the whole topic.no1s gonna read 80 posts.im gona mail the poll results and a few of the posts (including negative ones of course) im sure bungie know that people want bots to be included and are working on it. im just trying to let them kno the scale of peoples veiws on the topic. if everyone acted like they werent too fussed then the dudes at bungie would obviously not take the idea into too much consideration. thats all this poll is about ;)

This is pointless! The game is already under a hundred days to release there is no way Bungie could add bots and make them a viable (fun) option. It takes months to program AI for the SP alone imagine how much effort Bungie would have had to put out to make bots work for all the gametypes and custom gametypes and so on. That is why I seriously doubt bots are going to make it into the final game the rewards just aren't worth the price and effort.

Yes, I would like bots to be in multiplayer. It would be a good edition to the game.

Stupidity at it's finest. Maybe they already included bots, how do you know they didnt?? And, how are they not worth the effort?? Think about the people who dont have many friends to come over all the time, and can't afford/ aren't in the area for cable or DSL. Think before you speak, bucko. "Not everyone has money flying out of their ass like you do." A good quote from a wise person that posted before me ;) So stop only thinking about yourself, and dont use them if it's going to ruin your (Bungie's) precious little game

For those of us with no LIVE, and not very many people to play with, yes, bots are a must this time around.

The reason I say no besides the fact the I have XBL is the fact that it would waste disk space. Halo 2 is becoming an huge game, and features such as bots might push it over to 2 discs, which is something I really want to avoid. And it is to late in the process for Bungie to add in bots (if they are not already in) Bots create lots of bugs, and that would take to long to smooth out. So this thread is pointless in the fact that no matter what the outcome is, it won't change anything.

Actually, the game never really had any type of release date till they stated it would come out on November 9th, so technically they never delayed.... The closest it came to being delayed is when they said they took a guess at a time they'd hope it'd come out, but that was obviously just them wanting to state something and everyone knew it was't going to be released on the first quarter of this year.... It was just off the top of their heads and not really a release date....

I haven't seen bots yet that have gone over a megabyte of space... This includes decent bots that don't just run into walls and automatically headshot you when you run into them as well.... I really couldn't see that being any problem at all...

guy....some rice and pea.

Multi-player without bots is like pie with no fillin, or n64 with no zelda:OOT. bots are needed, they add a whole new dimension to the game such as real team battles and new levels of fun. how they would seize up in races/frag i do not knowbut in that sense it could be like PD where they just head for the target which is all they would need. but none the less bots are needed, otherwise people wihtout xbl would suffer the defeat of beating the game and having nothing else to do!

I would love bots. People are saying that bots are no challenge. But if it's from the Ai code that Halo 2 has. I think there will be a challenge for sure. Also the majority of xbox users dont have Xbl or can attend LAN parties. And for those people who keep saying "They should'nt put bots into it, that would just be stupid". You can always turn the bots off.

i wouldn't mind bots, but don't think they should be put in the game, but if they are, they wouldn't need to work on them,they could just put in some elites and masterchief with standard enemie ai, although they would need to implament ai pathfinding for the multiplayer levels

Yes, add bots.

A good percentage of people don't have broadband, which means no XBL. You never know, they could already have bots in the game.

  • 08.06.2004 6:32 PM PDT

YUes bots would be cool for when i'm not up for live and my bro doesn't want to play halo.
