Dear Bungie,
I know you have probably ditched halo 2 but, I personally think you should at least allow us to be able to add cpu's to play against in multiplayer since we can no longer play it over xbox live, if you could do this thanks.

Halo 2 for Life!

I like human controlled avatars as enemies not routine based robots...

Have you seen my mind anywhere? I seem to have lost it...

0x0 x0x 0x0 000 000 x0x 000

x0x x0x x00 0xx 0x0 x0x 0x0

I have seen you future

So you want Bugnie to go back to a game they released almost seven years ago and change the engine to add a feature? Why should they do that for a game almost no one plays any more?

Because it would be SO cool!

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Bots are awesome, but if you want those, play Halo Custom Edition. Because people still care about that and have just written a bot program for servers.

Who said they had to be scripted?

Not all bots are scripted, look at Unreal Tournament's bots.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Look at Unreal Tournament 1, the Bots travel in the exact same routes every time, game play gets boring. Even Gears of War 2, bots are boring to play against online as in Deathmatch as they cannot think for themselves.

As a friend and I were talking about earlier, Halo's gameplay is quite complicated for bots to be playing in the Multiplayer. It would be much harder to write a script for a bot to play in Halo than Unreal Tournament or Quake. There are bot scripts now that might prove to be intelligent enough (for example, Team Fortress 2's bots) So, at the time that Halo 2 was made I don't see bots working out very well.

By the way, to what was being said about bots in Halo Custom Edition, they're terrible. They are absolutely good for nothing. They don't represent any sort of multiplayer action.

You're looking at bots from the '90s. Another thing: It has been quite a while since I played the first UT, but, don't the bots only follow certain paths up until a certain level of difficulty? I don't remember the Godlike bots being anything near predictable on any of the UT games. (Goes to see on UT2k4 since I don't have UT99 on this computer)

Edited after playing: Nah, doesn't seem like they're running on a designated track. Also, the UT games do have custom map support, so, they can't be running on tracks there. (Forgot about that when I originally replied)

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Bots are not awesome. Bots are very unsatisfying and a poor excuse for a multiplayer experience.

Lol @ Bots in Custom Edition. Have a grand time with that.

There are lots of unoffical bots for Valve games too. At first, they were just a crude scripted path, but then they advanced so they can support lots of custom maps and that can get smarter each time.

If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

In Gears 2, bots have incredible aiming abilities that when using a lancer or hammerburst, they can dominate. Even more, they are not affected by lag which makes them even bigger killing machines.

On topic: Yes OP, having bots to play against would be cool, and I cant believe even in 2010 for Reach, Bungie has yet to do that. If they add bots that are not scripted, maybe I won't care if they never bring back Halo 2, just as long as I have something to kill in multiplayer (humans or bots), I doesn't matter if there is no online. It's why I still play Perfect Dark Zero which is a launch title for 360.

Black Ops has bot support in it too, and I know people who go on XBL with their friends to kill bots.

Bots on Black OPs are stress reliever. When I get pissed off on Black OPs, I just go to nuketown with as many bots as possible on the other team and get chopper gunners and dogs and get like 40+ kills before I'm done with the gunner.

Unless the AI are copycats/learn from the players. Just look at Brawl.

Falcon punch anyone?

Conker live and reloaded implemented AI bots very well, they were called dumbots that act like people on multiplayer (somewhat) and you can use that as an alternative to xbox live now.
