Hello all, I'm new here. X )

Being a chronic Xbox system-link gamer, I hope to find out all there is to know about halo2 for Xbox.


But let me get to the point. A while ago my friend Ryan was complaining to me because he never could make it to my xbox hook-up tournaments. That got me thinking about how fun it would be to play against AI bots. i'm not saying these bots should be state-of-the-art hardcore killing machines, just something fun to pwn while playing the gametypes we love so very much.

That said, I'll let you people get back to your lives.

Play Legendary mode if you want bots. But, I can understand what you mean if you want to practice on the multiplayer maps instead....

Yeh, plus, I don't want to be toting about on those otherwise bland missions that I've dulled down by completing on all the difficulty levels. I'm talking about playing different gametypes like CTF against bots, etc.

if they dont add that feature... then i wont know what to do. it would be soo much better when your friends have better things/people to do instead of go over another friends house for a halo tournament. or halo 2.

i think they need it.Maybe not for all game types but at least for a siege type game type that they also need to add.Where you and a couple friends have to defend a siege from covenants.u could snipe out windows then switch too ur shotgun and sweep the halls.then activate a trap and watch all the elites get blown to smithereens.AI bots would be good for that kind of gametype or where theyre defending from about 3 or 4 mc's.either way.

THAT IS WHY THEY ARE IMPLEMENTING XBOX LIVE FOR HALO 2! if you dont have it, get it by nov 9th, or just be "bored"with the missions

Not everyone can afford broadband. I have long thought that bots would be great. Maybe a practice mode. Where you could specify what enemy you are up against , specify what weapon/s you would like to practice with, difficultyl level, accuracy, etc...Maybe it's too much to ask but I think everyone would appreciate a practice mode.

Well first up id like to say congratulations to Bungie for making new forums Well Done

Now ive always wanted bots because i moved and all my friendsare far away from me about 45 min drive.It would be so cool with bots (hopefully thats why that put h2 back 2 months.

Someone set up us the bomb
on XBL i'm Gangsta Assasin

bots would be awesome. does anybody remember Perfect Dark? bots MADE that game. you could have an 8 on 8 with only two people. i thought it was cool. bots are a must, because they would make xbox live better, too! think about it- each xbox could take control of an eaqual # of bots, and there would be less info going over the lines because the AI could be translated into simpler commands. for example, instead of Xbox1 telling Xbox2 where a player is going, it says how that player is going to get there, and what it will do to respond to whatever. if an event happens and this gets interupted, XB1 would just send a quick correction in the same format as the original. this is opposed to constant correction generated by a human (unpredictable) player. bots would eliminate lag. (if programmed correctly).

Bots would make for a more immersive multiplayer experience for those that don't have Live. Sometimes people forget that Live also requires broadband access, which not everyone can afford, and in some places isn't even available yet. If I could get Live, I would, but I can't since I cannot get DSL, it simply isn't available to me. But back to bots, they would allow you to transform an otherwise stale 1vs1 to 2vs2 match into a hardcore fragfest of 16 players, even though only 2 are human.

I think they should put bots. The A.I doen't have to be state of the art. Imagine if you could put 12 bots and have 4 friends split screen me and my friends would have a blast. It would be mayhem.

The main thing that was missing from Halo was BOTs, I don't think Bungie will make this mistake again at least I hope not. Everyone can't afford or can receive XBOX LIVE>>!!!! So quite saying that with Live there is no need for BOTs.

If Bungie doesn't make bots! They are just being plain lazy! Red faction has bots and they make the game more interesting. After we beat the crapy game, my friends and I tried to see how many bots we could take on at the same time! SO, if a crapy game can incorporate them into the game, then why can't Bungie?

yea they should make bots different difficultys and you can set how many bots ur playin against and the teams and stuff like that.it would be the best if you could set up to 16 bots.

I think that the bots should be like red faction 2 or atleast around that built of bot for multiplayer game because then you have bots that can be hard as heck and then the newbe one that suck and the more you play with them there stats could go up and get better along the way.

There was a HUGE-ass argument in the Underground about this a while ago, and we all came to the general concensus that the AI would have to have really high caliber skill to take on the elitist halo players like ourselves.
The problem would be that you could only really use them for slayer games, they're not smart enough to work in these things called "teams", and they would always try to go directly from point A, to point B, thats how a computer works.
Easy kills, bad teammates.

The main reason I want bots is too be able to explore and play the multiplayer maps. In Halo you can't even access the maps if you don't have more than one controller. I'm not looking for perfect AI, I just want to explore and enjoy the new maps without buying LIVE and another controller. Maybe I'm just cheap...

I am with you there, I have played a lot of games, with bots like Unreal Championship, and Brute Force on multiplayer with bots, and they are really cool. The games can't touch Halo except for the bots, so I think bots are definitely the way for Bungie to go.

Well, in my opinion, bots are a necessity, for those who think bots will be easy to kill, itll just be like the 1 player game, the individual bots are easy to kill, but when those bots team up, BAM, you've been blown sky high by a combo of plasma, needle, rocket, smg and sniper fire.

For those people, like me, who don't have xbox live or any friends with an xbox, bots are essential. You can only play the single player so many times before it gets repetitive. Bots would make the multiplayer like the single player but with infinite replayability. If you don't want to use the bots, don't, but don't keep us from doing it.
