Dragon here... I am a really big fan of halo. and im just pulsating with energy to just run into the closest eb store beat the guy up and get a copy of Halo2 but its not out yet,,,, :( . Ive just read the Rumour eliminators..and i must say i am a little disapointed with how the game might be turning out...i mean dont get me wrong...Halo 2 is gonna be one of the best games ever made! but u wonder about the modes, objects, styles of play and all the other things it has to offer. i know Frankie probably wont read this but ill write it anyway. Ive had some awesome times playing the campaign on Halo - its an awesome experience, and eventually u do get bored of it..such is life. and wen i go over to the multiplayer i realise there is no one here except one spartan bored of playing the main game. i agree with all the users who are disapointed with the no bots issue. and i have to say that i understand where both the users for and against bots are coming from. i agree that bots can suck sometimes but wat about if u have some friends over...say 4? and u guys have been going at eachother for hours and it just got boring...coz its the same thing over and over again. if u had bots u and ur mates would be busy for another few hours. and Bots dont just apply to multiplayer but to single player too. i mean yeah bots should be in for ppl who dont have live or close friends or anything like that.. but it could be for single player aswell. like the player has beaten the campaign dozens of times and is relatively bored coz u know where the enemies are gonna be and how to deal with them.. and theres really no surprise in wats gonna happen..and if they wanted to play multiplayer they cant do anything coz theres no bots...yeah ofcourse they could go to live and verse some player online. but it doesnt compare. and lets not forget about the 4 player co op campaign, i mean wat an awesome idea! and with all the ppl "but it cant work coz the players will just domniate and kill everything and it will be to easy!" well heres a news flash for u...Make a difficulty higher than Legendary just for the multiplayer purposes!! DID U THINK OF THAT!? probably not.. and dont get me wrong again... i love bungie ..their awesome! but wen they say that they are gonna make the multiplayer side of it great...they should take into account everything that is offered in games with good multiplayer options. Such as perfect Dark now that was an awesome game with awesome Multiplayer!. I know i wont be able to change the way Halo 2 is gonna end up..but i think that Bungie should analyse the multiplayer capabilites of games who have great multiplayer and take into account on how it works for the player, Everything including Bots to the 4 player Co op to any other mode involving live - system link or anything else. I believe that Bots would have been a great addition to the game, same with the extra players for Co op missions - but if Bungie believes that this is the way Halo 2 should go then so be it...they are making it after all,,, but i believe they said that to get the most enjoyable experience out of multiplayer we should listen to the gamer's feedback and perhaps use them in the game, that wasnt word by word of wat they said but its about 70% and well they havent seemed to do that to much...but they have been doing a excellent job..and Halo 2 will still be one of the best games, but it could have been even better. I believe they should have added Bots. I believe they should have added 4 player co op and make a harder difficulty than Legendary just for the multiplayer. All i can say is that i hope they some how read this and perhaps try to add them in. it would make all the difference.
But thanks for clearing up all the rumours anyway Frankie...tell the guys at Bungie they're doing a great job and i hope the make one hell of a kick ass - anti son of a -blam!- stick game!
Cheers - Long Live Halo 2 and Bungie!
Have a good one.
