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

i agree.
i have xbox live, but still, it would be fun 2 have bots!
it gives the ppl who havent got live a good time.

I had more fun playing with the bots in XIII than playing Halo 2 multiplayer against my brother. I think bots should be added. It would also be cool if you could mix them with online play (but not match making), so for example, you could have a CTF game against just one friend, instead of having n00bs come in and ruin it for you. It won't overshadow the multiplayer though: it'll just be a new experience.

No one should ever be afraid of looking stupid, so long as they are making a rational effort to expand their understanding.

Bring on the Bots.
1. For the guy w/o XBL. 39 million have boradband, vs. 298 million in the US.
I'd say when only 13% of your possible customers have broadband, it is wise to have offline options.

2. Bots can play objective. Quake 3 Arena (multiplatofrm) had Bots, as does every Unreal Tournamment (multiplatform) I can think of. Those bots weren't exactly pushovers, especially in the objective gametypes. GRAW and PDZ have done bots successfully, as did others. So why can't it work in Halo 3?

3. Bots are fun. When friends come over (you know, the kind who don't have xbl) and want to play on your team, you can actually have opponents. This is great for not pushing your friends away by beating them senseless. Subnote, bots make it plausible to actually earn some multiplayer achievements. How many have the 10,000 kills in Quake 4 vs. 10,000 kills in GRAW?

4. LAN Party. Only got 8 guys? Now you can do 8 vs. 8. Maybe even work up a working strategy to test against Bots. I know, it isn't as good as testing against thinking humans, but that is a good thing. How many routes/strategies get scrapped because some human beat them? If bots beat you, tweak it until they don't. Then when it is great vs. bots, play against people and tweak it until it works. Forget strategy!!!! I for one know that not everyone at the LAN is capable. With Bots, you don't have to worry about balance, and you certainly don't have to worry about Louis McLoses crying about getting last place every damn game. Now he has fun too...

If Bots are enabled...
I hope that the BOTS will be able to trick me and surprise me! Imagine them jumping at some specific place to trick you and kill you in your back jumping by a shortcut! WoW!!!

Bungie, please surprise me!

Bungie and Microsoft want their money, they wont make bots because people wouldnt be as likely to pay for Live if they can just play with bots......
