This is a perfectly acceptable thread, but I think it would be easier to make it in the "New Mombasa" section....

Anyways, BOTS RULE!!!! I would have a system like Perfect Dark. Choose their personalities.

They haven't confirmed that, last thing I read was that they were "looking into it."

They, of course, meaning Bungie.

Yah, I havent read or heard anything of them saying "there are not going to be any bots in Halo 2". Alot of people have been wanting bots so I think Bungie will seriously consider it.

It qould be cool if your playing with bots and the bots are elites and you are a a spartan. That would be cool.

It would be a great thing if Bungie would place Bots in Halo2! Me, without a lot of controllers, and a little brother that doesn't want to play very often (I know, he's nuts), I'd love to have bots, you could also use it as a sort of training ground then.

Bots would give those who don't have (or can't get) Xbox Live a more immersive multi-player experience.
The most obvious example of the impact of bots is in Perfect Dark for N64. The only reason I stopped playing that game is because of the framrate problems (I can't play most of my N64 games now b/c I can't get used to the low framrates).

I agree. Allthough online human opponents are much better, bots are great for those without a Live connection, which is likely to be the majority of people that buy halo 2.

Bots would extend the life of the game for those players, alot. Perfect dark was enhanced ten-fold by the inclusion of bots.

Its not a must have feature but it would be nice.

First of all, I'd love bots too, gives you so much more to practice with when you're alone and have beaten every level, or more enemies if you wanna 4 on 4 and have 4 friends and no live connection.

But to clear things up, the last thing they actually said about it was that they've heard the cry of the fans and while it hasnt been decided upon yet, they are working on many ways to make multiplayer fun for anyone with two controllers and no live connection

Bots: good for training, bad when you are doing team games with real people.

Think about it. The bot's AI can only be so good, and they would probably just do something that you don't want them to do (like try to capture the flag when you don't want them to, or follow you when you are trying to go stealth). Might be good for capture the flag if you had special settings, like tell them to just go kill anybody that they can. Plus the fact, if you play legendary, the AI can kill your ass with nothing but plasma weapons pretty quickly if you're not careful. Just think what the AI would do to you if they were that accurate 100% of the time, and had sniper rifles/rocket launchers/started to dual-wield. It's just being cruel to yourself...in multiplayer.

BOTS WOULD BE SWEET BECAUSE WHEN YOU'RE FRIEND ISN'T AT YOUR HOUSE AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE XBOX LIVE, YOU CAN PLAY MP BY YOURSELF>

I'm not really apposed to bots...I've seen a few other games that would have made the transition into them easier for newbs, Pandora Tomorrow has a very steep learning curve. I'm just not sure how good they'd be or if they'd fit into the world of Halo. If ppl really want bots they could always play the campaign. Counter-Strike has them on Xbox, and nobody really uses them all that much. With online play growing as much as it has, bots have been slowly pushed to the back, for smarter more adapting AI.(Humans)

Good Lord Spartan3000.... Stop sticking your head into every thread and yelling as loudly as you can. It's damn irritating.

Anyways, I'd love to see bots, particularly Grunts and Marines, assisting the true players in a splitscreen game. That might make CTF actually feasible to play.

ok, i know that im just a little man with no power to make there be bots in halo 2, but i believe that it is a very good idea, actually its better than good, its fantastic.
first of all its yet another improvement on the first game making halo 2 even more unbelieveable, also it adds so many more hours of gameplay.
i have no brothers or sisters, therefore multiplayer is never really a big thing for me unless my friends are over, which is not everyday, but with bots, i can finally play multiplayer all by myself. also it will make xbox live even more interesting as everyone on it will be able to play the levels by themselves and become really competive.

in fact i could write you a 10 page essay on why i think there should be bots in halo 2, but instead i think i'd rather go dream about playing halo 2

Unless bungie incorporate an AI commanding system (like the "breach stuff" on rainbow six and the "defend base" on unreal championship) It would be extremely hard to make suitable bots for team games like CTF. They even said that this was a big issue in deciding on bots for halo1. However, for a game-type like slayer, I think they could probably create suitable bots (just reprogram the legendary AI to recognise MP maps and to freelance and look for weapons).

So, I think if bots are to happen at all, they will be restricted to the Slayer modes (EM4H, Two teams, Three teams and Four teams) I think its unlikely that CTF bots will be included (but bungie tend to surprise us with awesome, mouth-watering features so lets wait and pray...)

Bots would be the best, especially for me because for:

1. I don't have highspeed internet, I'm probably not getting it until late 2004/ early 2005, because my mom doesn't want to get "locked in to a dish" even though I tell her pathcom is the way to go.

2. I live about 10 min out of town so it's really hard to get more than 4 people playing. I do have 3 siblings a ssiter who hates it, a youger brother who whines about having no chance, don't know why...lol, and my second oldest brother who is like 2 years youger never plays it until; his 2 friends(twins) come over to play, then it's usually 3vs3, thats only once a month. Plus it's super hard for me to get more than 1 friend over. =(

So the only time I ever get to play with anyone is usually once a month, maybe twice. The most people I've ever played with is 6 I think if you could have up to 16 players, including bots that qould be awesome! =)
