Lets see the Bungie's Community's opinion on *drum roll* Bots. Time to give Bungie some help on their decision about one (of many I'm sure) of the dilemas that they are facing in creating the next best game (knocks on wood). Lets hear it.

It depends on whether you are talking about online multiplayer or offline.

Bots on some games can be good. but the main reason why i do not like bots is because there ai is sometimes bad and that just runis a game. also i do not like bots because you can not rub it in there face when you kill them, and that is a big part of halo. but on the uphand bots are great for me because my little brother never wants to face me because i win every time and if we have bots i would be able to play more offten. that is why i leave it for bungie to decide because i know they will make the right decision.

It could be a good addition for MP games. Lets say the teams or uneven. Adding a Bot would solve that problem.

Oh, if you are talking about offline, then I think it is a great idea. I often want to play a multiplayer match but dont have friends available all the time. So I think bots for offline is a wicked idea.

I think you should be able to add them to multiplayer games to fill the games up, i only usually get about 8.

I say Bots all the way. Bungie don't worry about them over taking MP online. It wont happen. Put them in for those people who don't have Live or dont want to or can't be online for every game. It will improve LAN Parties.

Unreal Tournament (the first one) had a get system for keeping bots for overriding MP on line. You set a make number of players then those slots would be filed with bots as need.

Yeah, I've played online with bots and offline with bots. They are both amazing with bots, online or offline. I still rather it stay offline, but that doesn't really matter to me, bots either way will be good as long as they're offline.

Well as I said in another thread, if you are going to have bots online, I hope they disable the scoreboards because then we are going to have guys that sit and spawn kill the bots until they are in first place.

I like my Covenant like i like my woman, screamin and with a sticky on there face.

first i would l;ove bots second no bots on-line because why would you need bots when you can play plenty of people third it's gives you good practice for multiplayer when you dont have a friend over or you just want to get better so you pratice with bots so you dontr get embarresed on-line( not like i would but i would still like to pratice tio get even better)

Bots don't give you points of the scoreboard. They only count toward the current game. Does that work?
