Frankie has said on multiple occasions that the production of halo2 is drawing to a close and we assume that all the big decisions have been decided upon.

Near the begining of the bungie weekly updates (or in a bungie interview i forget) it was mentioned that bots for halo2 have not yet been decided upon. We havent heard anything about bots since, but we have heard alot about the multiplayer features of halo2.

Since bungie has been letting out so much about the multiplayer capabilities of halo2 dont you think they would have mentioned bots if they had them or frankie would have talked about one of the people doing the AI for them? Frankie did however mention that there is a good gametype that got saved from the cutting board that would be fun for people with not alot of players.

I think that bungie is not mentioning anything about bots because they dont have any and dont want halo2 to get bad media before it is released. does anybody eles no more information on the halo2 bots? or even care if there are any?! I really hope im wrong... tell me what you think.

That or they want it to be a big surprise

  • 08.07.2004 7:28 PM PDT

They want the 'Halo.' But I tell them: 'No! No Halo! For you, only the 'Frenzy'! The 'Frenzy' and maybe some 'Munch'

If there are bots, bungie probably won't tell us. We don't even know half of what is in halo 2, so be like me and trust bungie to make the right decisions.

all i can say is read the bungie FAQ it says they heard our plea on bots and trying their best to help the players without xbox live, this was put in the FAQ aloong looong time ago. so maybe their keeping it a secret, who knows only time will tell.

edit: ok i found the snipet from the FAQ here it is:

Q

Will there be multiplayer bots?

A

We have not made a final decision regarding bots yet. The team has heard the cries of fans and we're exploring ways to make multiplayer games more enjoyable for gamers with only 2 controllers and no Live access.

I think it's always better to have someone laugh in your face when you die than to have a bot just run away and hide. There's no point laughing at someone when they don't give you a punch back, or some kind of a "I'm warning you..."

A bot's a computer controlled character you can play with or against in multiplayer.

No not all features are going to be told that would ruin the secrets and if you know all abou whats in the game before you get it it wont be as fun.

if they are finishing a month early because the copies have to be manufactured and shipped to stores. They wont be able to use that month before halo2s release to create bots I dont think.

I dont think they got extra time cause frankie mentioned that they where putting some gametypes on the chopping block.

bungie said somewhere in the weekly updates it should be done with the game at the end of this month or the begining of next month so they had enough time to get all the copies of the game done, and have some time to sit back and relaxe <this is what i remeber as a quote from the article>

Well Mista.....

It appears that i have grown a certain....."disliking" for the old "One team defends the flag", the other team "gets in and then out" kind of stuff. I like'd it on Blood Gulch how everyone has to get the flag, not just one team.....It "ruins" it.....


Double posting?

Frankie said something about getting the A.I. to go up jump lifts, and i've only heard those talked about in multiplayer. Even though they will probably be in SP too, and that could be what he was talking about, it's still an interesting statement leading to bots.
