Woudnt it be cool to have bots in Halo 3 multiplayer. If you dont know what bots are, they are computer opponents and teammates to make multiplayer more enjoyable. You could control their Skill Level, armour type (MC, marine, Elite). Depending on the maps made im thinking they should allow 1-10 of the computer bots. This would make multiplayer more enjoyable if youre by yourself and you dont have Live.

State your reasonings for each

It would be a good addition for the people who dont have live.

It'd be fun, but what about flag routes, and bomb routes in objective games?

Flame Sama's Portal. Home of the anti-emo teenage writer/gamer Flame Sama, stop by and read some time.

By the way, my gamertag is really 'Flame Sama'.

This account is inactive-it's a relic of a former time for Bungie.net, back when groups were riding high prior to the release Halo 3.

Yes, Only for the fact that bots wouldn't use the n00b combo on you ...

And in case I don't have XBL in 2007, I could still play by myself.

Bots are difficult touch, but not that hard they couldn't come up with some adequate resistance. But I don't believe they are going to be in the game.

Guys, were in the next generation. Bots wouldn't be necessary when you've got a community of over 3 mililion people to play against over the internet.

Although bots can never compare to actual people, they give me something to shoot at when I don't want to play on live or campaign

What if you dont have live? A lot of people dont want to fork over the money for it.

And i would enjoy a break from real people and have a FAIR game where 90% of the people are the same skill level. (excluding me seeing how im rediculously good 8) )

Think about it: You dont have live, or its down, your on a "coag" like map and an enemy sniper takes out the warthog driver , a sniper on a ridge takes out one of your infantry men.. a battle is going on among 5 other of your team mates... that my friends.. would be sweet..

Programming bots to complete such objectives is entirely possible.
Take a look at the bots from Turtle Rock Studio.

People with poor depth perception tend to go the extra mile.

Uniquely Hard Sniper Map

What about a "survival" game type on multiplayer levels with bots. All you would need for AI is the AI in campaign mode. Just imagine being in a confined place, like Coagulation, and you look across the map and see the first wave of 3 grunts and 2 shield jackles running at you. No big deal right, so you just shoot them dead. Then 5 grunts, 4 shield jackles, and 2 snipers come. As it progressed, Elites, Brutes, Hunters, etc would be added to the waves. I'd be good practice and fun with friends to see how long you could stay alive. I think it'd be really fun, just as an option.

Tough -blam!- then, hombre. Bungie has said themselves that bots for Halo would be a waste of development time, and they aren't particularly known for going back on their word.

yeah.. you can always trust good ole bungie...

"Halo 2 will be released bladdy blah,
3 months later halo 2 is released

Dont get me wrong.. im happy with what Bungie has done for the gaming world.

(directed towards "survivor" post)
They have that in Lord Of The Rings. It was alot of fun. Maybe you could unlock it like you unlocked foundation in Halo 2

there could be a system where you could plan routes like that, you know, kinda like football plays?
or the ai could just be good enough to where you dont need things like that

i think that would take away the fact that its a FPS. It would seem too much like paintball video games and other things of that sort.

Don’t get mad if I flame you because you cannot spell, or because my three year old has better grammar and etiquette than you.

I will say no.

I would rather have bungie spend time making more maps.

I also say no to the map editor because I would rather see them spending more time making more multiplayer maps as well.

I would rather have live co-op and more people in MP and more maps than a map editor or bots.

If you cannot offord live, then why do you have a 360? Get with it, you can get DSL as low as 20 a month, skip a few trips to a fast food joint and you have the extra cash fat ass.

How many Christians must you slap until one of them turns the other cheek?

"What came first? The stone-tool or the shadow-puppet?"

Think about it, "God" is an atheist.

Bots would be great....until they learn to mod. :)

Edit: and if you could make the bots "super"...i.e. dreadnaught, Ovie, faster....that would be a good challenge.
