I know there's a Halo 3 bots idea thread, but I haven't seen any polls for them. I wanted to see if the majority thought they were a good idea, bad idea, or if it's split like most of the threads about them seem to be. Personally i want bots, but again, I want to see what the majority wants.

i dont have xbl so i want bots. but if they are gonna come out -blam!- dont worry about it.

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

Bots for Splitscreen only, not on XBL.

I would only like bots if they came with a survival mode.

I don't know if you guys remember but in one of the weekly updates some couple months or so ago (back on 3/8?06), Bungie interviewed one of there new employees, he is a A.I. engineer. Here is a little bit of that interview straight from the update found in the old storys section. This is Franks question and Max answer.

" Hey Max, welcome to Bungie! What is your job here at Bungie? Tell us a little about what you'll be doing (of course without revealing any secret details of our next project!).

Max: Hi Brian! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to interview me - it's a real honour. I've been brought on board as a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) engineer. I work with Damian Isla on making the AI in the next game so amazing that it will make you feel as if you are playing with or against human players all of the time.."

Do I think there will be bots?..... Don't seem that far of a stretch to me. So fellas, tell me what you think!

I think he says in one of your bolded sentences polls and in the other he says threads. Aren't those two different and please excuse me if I am wrong or sound rude, since I don't mean to flame you.

exactly what i think, cuz when i didnt have XBL, i wanted to play multiplayer, but my bro wouldnt play, so bots would be cool, if you could set their difficulty up to make it more challanging....

If it's not any trouble I wouldn't mind having the option of bots on XBL, also, but if it is, I don't think it will be that big a deal if it isn't, but yeah, definitely splitscreen

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. Customs, LAN, split screen, Bot it all.

There should be bots for Halo 3.
It would make the game worth for some people to buy so that if they can't get online, they can use bots.
If they do put in bots, they should use the Xbox 360 software capabilities of the microphone to talk to them for simple commands at least.

Well, bots on live wouldn't be such a bad idea, but I wouldn't put them up since it would seem pointless.
Xbox Live is to play with other live people, not bots.

  • 06.26.2006 7:54 PM PDT

I hope they have bots for system link too...just think about it...8v8 ctf on zanzibar!...not sure if the bots would be smart enough for that though...but im sure they will work for TS

  • 06.26.2006 8:12 PM PDT

o yeah and I know zanzibar wont be in halo 3...i was just using an example

1 bot for the annoying 12 year old
2 bots for the younger siblings who are leeching
3 bots for my friends
4 bots for me for a nice 5 player game
5 bots for whoever wants them
And
0 bots for the stupid spammer (YOU)

And, as many bots as Ferret wants for Ferret because Ferret rules.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

We need bots in Halo 3 because I want to fight in peace.

IDEA: Bots in multiplayer.

They should have a menu where you edit bots right before you play the level just like Perfect Dark from N64. They should have a Bots menu under, game options. You should be able to......

Pick Bot Model: Marines, Hunters, all Flood forms, Jackals, Gruntes, Brutes, Prophets, Sentinels, Enforcers, Elites, etc.

Pick Bot special ability: Whether it is damage resistance, berserk when a person from their team is killed, etc.

Pick Bot's starting and secondary weapon: This is critical unless you want to unarm them.
Pick Bot's firing rate: 50 bpm (easy) 100 bpm (normal) 150bpm (heroic) 200 (legendary).
Pick Bot's skills level: Just as you pick the level's difficulty easy, normal, heroic, or legendary.
Make a name: Be creative, make a name that fits your bot well.
Customize Bot: Give them a new creative armor rank or just select one of the default ranking armor. Give you team some class.

Wow, I think the only thing I didn't like in that was the firing rate, which would probably just be under the difficulty level, otherwise those are some really good ideas
