the reason they never did this in the first place is that halo has complex strategy... something that a bot would not neccesarily excel at. If you've ever played other FPS's with bots, they walk the SAME EXACT PATH every time they go a direction, and suck at aiming.

u forget, bungie has a very newly updated engine being used for halo 3, looking at the teaser announcement trailer, u can tell. a perfectly casted shadow for master chief, wear on his armor telling u he actually had great battles. Now if we could just see some gameplay, most likely we could tell if there will be ai bots.

uh, this is bungie and halo we're talking about here, first of all. secondly, a lot of games have had bots that work quite well, and bungie has perhaps some of the best AI (at the time) in halo 1 and halo 2. anyways, i dont see how this game could ever loss momentum, even if they delayed its launch a year, raised the price of the xbox 360, people would still line up days before to get their hands on a copy. so why not make it worth all that and give us some kick as enemy AI and bots.

speaking of the perfect dark series, PD on the 64 had some pretty good enemy AI... if only that game didn't freeze all the freakin time

Suppose they focus on the bots after release. Like with the multiplayer map packs they did. Then the bots could be available for download or purchase at the store. Then we get the game with all the campaign features that we want, and then we get all the MP features we want.

OMG, He said Breasts! LOLOLO!!!111

Anyhow...Bots = teh ghey. And Halo is laggy enough as it is, that having more than 16 people would be even more laggy. Yeah, big battles would be fun, but 32 people + bots would be a big lag fest.

How the heck did we come into the "Women's breasts"-topic?? You're the one who's obsessed

EDIT:
And so are you Royson. Unless of course you were extremly sarcastic. If you were I appreciate it.

Too many people are forgetting about the advanced AI the 360 is capable of. You know the main reason bots sucked in the past? THE CONSOLE COULDNT HANDLE BETTER ONES. Also the programmers decided to get a little lazy probably considering their bots would be crappy at best compared to a human on previous consoles. I really doubt a bot will ever be able to really replace a human player but its a lot closer than before.

yea, except for all the guys that can't afford xbox live, and seeing as how the 360 is a $400 beast that isn't going to come down in price very soon, there's defiently a lot of fans that are gonna struggle to afford the live. Don't get me wrong, introducing new MP levels after the release is a great way to keep the game fressh long after you've bought it, and new bot varients would be cool, but bungie needs to figure out a way we can all download these for free or include a map editor and bot editor so the poor guys don't get left out

I think it should be a customizable option, as in, you can turn bots on and off.

I thought that was assumed, althought I gueess it is a bit of an issue for xbox live.. if you want bots while playing online, then you should beable to put them in, but if you dont, you can select a non-bot game.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

If the AI Bots are actually smart then yes add AI Bots, but if they are as dumb as hell don't add them!

I like the idea of bots in a survival game type, where hords of enemies charge you at a fortified position. It would give people who are tired of the same old campaign, and who don't have( or dont like) xbl endless hours of fun. Ai messing up wouldn't be a problem since it would be on one system only. Just a 1 or 2 player challange
