i dont have XBL, but will almost certainly get it when i get H2 and i have a little bro, and 2 older ones taht live away from home cause there 22 and 28 :) anyway, i also have friends and broadband, but you know what, i still want bots. they are fun to play around with. id like the idea of me and my friends agaist a horde of bots, or solo against 15 other bots xD. sure some of u "hard" 1337 players would think of this as a waste of time and waste all the bots easily, its for those who arent 1337 at this game or those who just want to have a quick game wihout haveing to go online and get beaten into the ground, but want to practise or just mess around, to have a game that is for fun.
so i think i speak for all without XBL and most with, that bots are a must. it was a big thing missing from halo. and if you dont like em, simple turn em off :P, no more problem. and like its been said i dont think bots in say CTF would be fun though, unless you can order them about, i think CTF would be best left out. mabey have bots only in DM, TDM king of the hill and race. or even any simple game modes that might be new...
and would that be soo hard to have ai in DM? i think not...i think you could just make a map and put in a elite and yuor done...after all in single player weve seen brutes jump onto vehicles on there own, and jakels grpoing up to defend themselves with there shields...though i think that is scripted. but anyway, take farcry, its easy to map, which i do, and put in a ai enity in a multiplayer map and that is it. unless you want it fancy you just put it in the map with a ai anchor to tell it to defend the map and thats what it does.
so bots would just need to be taken from singleplayer, have a small bit of tweaking and then slaped into place with a bit of ai diffuclty control and amount. and like i said, if you dont like em, then dont use em...and i think your right saying that bots are already made.
