No need for Bots in Multiplayer: I'm assuming you have friends, and have a life outside of Halo
No need for Map editor: Slow loading times, too many custom maps made by people etc.
We really don't need if you think about it. Both of them really destroy the concept of multiplayer that Bungie has had in place for 6 years.
Destroys the concept of multiplayer? WTF? They would be OPTIONAL. OPTIONAL means you would not have to play with them if you don't want to. That also means there is no real reason to be against them seeing as how if you don't want to play with them you don't have to.
Yes it would, even as an option, its just like saying yeah we should have an orbital strike, be able to carry more then 2 weapons without dual wielding,etc. It would destroy the way that both Halo and Halo 2's mutliplayer experience were set up. If you want bots go play Campaign, their is no need for them in mutliplayer, even as an option.
You obviously havent thought this through, even if Bungie did get bot into mutliplayer, what would you do? Do you know how hard it would be to code them correctly? What would you do if they just walked over any weapon and picked it up. It would be insanely hard for them to develop bots and in the end it would be pointless.
The idea of mutliplayer is to have mutliple human players, what does mutliplayer become when there are no human players?
No there is not need for bots. If you don't have live, if you don't have friends, then don't play mutliplayer.
It should be quite easily to understand why there should be no map maker,a map maker would be out of place in Halo. Yes other games have used the map maker ability quite well, but Halo is not one of those other games and it would be far to difficult to be able to play with your friends online making your own maps. Loading, downloading, etc would be difficult with a map maker, we should leave it to the PC version if one is made.
Yes they could make a map maker, and put bots in mutliplayer, but why should they?
They are both out of place in Halo, i don't think they should just be brought in the last installment of the series because no Halo game before it has had any bots or a map maker.
Why shouldn't they? Just because you don't want them in there? Not a good reason...people that want bots doesn't mean that they don't have live or friends, bots are pretty fun, but so far I have yet failed to see a good point...
The point is, Halo is becoming more of a jump on series, those that had never even been to this website before (possibly such as yourself) just randomly join as they hear that the next game in the series has just been announced, and then all of a sudden its all about what they think they want in the game.
Halo is Halo, just because other games have aspects that you think should be added doesnt mean they should be added, for the main reason that it just isnt Halo to have a map maker or bots, even if you think it would be cool because other games had them.
Actually I am a much older member than you...yes I am Waterwarrior_, the reason I had to do another account is because I have another e-mail and I decided to put the new one but I messed up seeing as people not think that I am a new member anyways, I probably know Halo more than you I have been here longer I know the ropes alot more than [i]you[/] why? The reason is because I know how Halo is Halo but that doesn't mean it can't be changed, believe me the bots would probably not take away the Halo feel of the game, alot of people said that about the battle rifle and being able to be an elite in Halo2, but alot of people like it and are now into the Halo worlds, the truth is change is good...and don't try and patronize me by saying I am new to these forums and go with what everybody else wants I am one of the oldest member in these forums, which doesn't mean I command more respect, but certainly I don't deserve insults nor does anybody else...also why does Halo2 have live huh? Because everybody wanted the Halo2 to have live(or mostly), and I would say that maybe over 70% of the people want bots, that doesn't mean bungie should include bots...but I know it wouldn't hurt...
