Seeing as how Bungie has stated their still debating BOTS for Multiplayer, I would assume that another idea would be an "Assault" or "Grinder" mode for multiplayer.

Maybe even an "Extraction" Mode, where you have to hold a position for 10-15 minutes against an onslaught of Covenant forces.

Or an "Assault" mode where you have to storm a Covenant stronghold to rescue some POWs or something.

Basically, a multiplayer mode that has you facing Infinite Covenants with 1 life to live. Maybe up to 4 players via LAN or something.

With something like this, not having BOTS wouldn't be as bad. You could still play for hours without any friends or XBOX Live.

And the mode would include hella stat-tracking. I've faxed this idea to Robbie Bach and Shane Kim, hopefully they're listening. ;-)

mabye u could do it without bots. one team could consist of either spartans, or elites. they would have all the normal multiplayer health/sheilds ect. the other team would consist of marines, OSTDs .ect OR elites/ brutes .ect. both teams would be human players, but the defending team would be normal with one life, and the opposing team would be very handicapt, and have infinite lives.

HaloRuler33 - grow up and simmer down.

But besides that. You wouldn't need BOTS because it would be 1-4 players against the Covenant AI. You have one life and then you die. Just a random spawn, infinite amount of Covenant forces - see how many you can kill, type of thing.

Bungie already has something like this up and running for bug-testing, just change the parameters and it'd be awesome.
