Thoses ODSTs in the the new screen shots (SAWEET) might be bots, or at least playable, but bots makes sense. What do you guys think?

Twelve Large ²

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

It looks like a multiplayer screenshot to me.

yeah the MC is way to green to be S-player... unless you can customise your colour/symbols in campaign now

how would anyone know if they are bots? i doubt they are bots because bungie said they didnt really want to do that. i am pretty sure you cant customize the colors for campaign either (bad idea). the odst's are proably playable characters for multiplayer, either that or that pic is from campaign and the lighting just makes mc's armor look lighter than it is

I hope to god they include bots in Halo2 - I was really dissapointed they were not there for Halo. I know there is the whole Live thing, but unfortunately ADSL doesn't work over fibre optics and that is what I currently have - so no XBox live for me. So the only MP I can do is offline and there is no point just 2 people running around playing capture the flag - it's dumb!

Well i would rather have spartans and elites as bots because that would remind me more of XBl and playing REAL people.

Well, as a publicity still screenshot there exists the possibilty (and very likely) that the entire shot was arranged on what looks like the Zanzibar multiplayer map. You rarely get people to line up so nicely in the middle of a frenetic battle :)

We know that this is in Multiplayer for multiple reasons.

1) You get to this screenshot by clicking on the "Multiplayer screens! Bam!" article. Which clearly states that it is a MP pic.

2) The level in the background is Zanzabar.

Also, Bungie did not say they didn't want bots. They only said that bots would be in the game if they could get it to work out correctly. I don't know what they mean by "Work out", but it does mean that it is a possibility.

If there are bots, they would'nt need them online, just for us folks w\out the cable 'net. You could probably have MC, ODST or Elite bots.
