There’s been six titles, SIX Halos from CE to Reach and it has yet to happen. “What has ‘yet to happen’?” you may find yourself asking. Well the answers simple, little Billy. Bots in Halo! Where are the bots? I’m actually surprised that this issue hasn’t been higher on the priority list for those complaining about the numerous other things that pale in comparison to this lack of support for those of us who merely want to enjoy the offerings of multiplayer without having to brave the vicious online online community and for those of us that lack the ability to make friends or carry a social life outside our virtual companions in our video games.
So how about it? Lets get bots into Halo like it’s 1996, who’s with with me!
Bots are useless in Halo. They won’t give you an really experience playing the game at all, they’ll NEVER be able to react and give the challenges that players do. Besides Bots are all computers and will just make the same actions over and over, they won’t do much at all.
You might as well be playing a multiplayer mode with campaign enemies because that’s what you’d be doing anyways.
Bot’s would be cool for people who don’t have LIVE or just want to practice and make some new strategies for different gamemodes/maps. I wouldn’t mind having bots… I would use them. :]
Ha, yeah if by greatly you mean on normal difficulty having a slow moving bot walk around the map turn when it spots an enemy despite LoS, wait a few seconds, then fire and never mixing it up. Sure. Then there is the veteran bots that will pretty much know where you are at at all times and auto-aim you the moment they can.
BLOPS is a totally ‘perfect’ example… of why we don’t need this.
I have an online group of friends to play Halo with, but we’re not always on at the same time and may not want to play certain custom game modes and maps, so this would be a great alternative.
> Or you could get better at the game and play online.
I’m pretty good at Halo and even I would love to see bots. Being good has nothing to do with it. Say halo 3 had bot support. Oh man I could make any mode I wanted and still have fun with it. I play Starwars battlefront II to this day because of excellent bot support it has.
There are bots.
It’s called Spartan Ops, Firefight and Campaign.
If you want bots for customs or forge I could understand,
but not in Matchmaking. (Infinity)
This isn’t Gears of War or anything else.
It’s Halo, and before you say anything about me “bashing other games”.
I love GoW and other bot related games.
I just don’t see it as a good/practical addition to Halo MM/∞.
