I'd like to have bots in Halo 2. To make it more special, players would be Spartan or Elite, and bots would be ODST or Brute. This way you can recognize a bot and there is more variety in players. Is this a good idea?

I dont think its nessasary. Color alone should be enough, like in halo 1.

But it would be cooler.,.,.,., By the way, what are these ODST's doing in that multiplayer shot of Zanzabar (1st new screenshot)?

Just a guess, but that might be a single player level that looks somewhat like Zanzabar. If not then dunno.

Dunno...could be a new feature, like if ur spartan and u want bots on ur team u get ODST's, and if ur Eliet u get something else...

Or its just a screenshot or mabey ur actully at the battle (in the champain) that got it named "Hell on earth" and thats just a shot of it from the champign.

Beat me to it L0ki :p.

If you look closely you can see the shot with the odst's is definitly zanibar, look at the background espeacially the trees and use the shot of the elite overlooking the beachfront for refrence. your be able to see exactly were their supposed to be on the map.

So, What are the ODST's doing in Zanzabar? Maybe they really are bots (or at least NPC's)... New hope!

Yeah, it's good to be optimistic! :)

By the way, what's a NPC?

NPC - Non player character

Basically AI which no human player controls

I've heard that too, but somebody pointed out that his armor is not the same color as his campaign armor

In the screen, it's more of a "light" green, whereas in campaign, he has that "dark shiny" green

i thought it was a 'Non player controlled', it doesnt matter but bots would be verry cool, increse the value of the game considerably.

My thumbsticks will be your Doom.... sorry 'bout that.
My Stats

I seem to recall something about the events that took place at Zanazabar not being part of the campaign mode but are integral to the story (can't remember if it was from an update or OXM or something but i think it was alluding to more books being released) so i would agree that this is not a shot of Campaign mode but as to why there are ODST's with the cheif all i got is:

1) ODST's as your little helpers (bots) so you can play team modes with only you and your roomate. SHuuweet! Or maybe to even the score, like if your roomate is way better than you are you can have a couple of ODST's on your side to help hunt him down.

2)Bungie's not telling us all (big surprise) and you can choose to be ODST's (basically like being a spartan with no sheilds -like the sheild option in Halo)

3)The game is still in production and those guys use models and scenarios that we will never see in the game and this could be a pic of one of those instances.
