something negative about halo

[DenniZz81]

Weeeell i think Bungie or whoever made the game made a mistake not putting in bots.. since there is no ethernet playing available!

what if you are home alone and dont want to play single player?

darn..

[walls_icy_cream]

Yeah, I was a little disappointed to hear that there was no bot support in Halo, especially as there aren't all that many multiplayer maps that are suitable for just 4 players. In order to enjoy Halo multiplayer at its best you have to link up several Xboxs, and as yet there is no internet support neither.

I still think this'll be a great game though, and can't wait to play it in both single and multi-player modes.

[DenniZz81]

yeah dont get me wrong dude... apart from that issue
its a kickass game!!

Who The Hell Needs Bots When You Have Sutch An AmAzInG Single Player Game!
Anyway, They Will Probadly release Some Bot Levels On The OXM DVD Down The Road...
So Chillz!

amen brotha doom!

you notice how people mention things like bots only when the game has already been shipped and we are 2 days away from launch.

besides that bots are ***. the enemy a.i. on single player is better than anything those bots could offer you.

All I know is that I have the game chillin' in my gaming cabinet ready to be played on my XBox in two days...I'm so pumped! I love the coop play as well...this game is going to be tight!

Hey doom how come u keep typing with caps at front of words is that a virus on ur comp or somtin.

You dimwit,you dont need bots, and rogue spear is the best FPS ever. if you want to play halo multiplayer then you can hook up several xboxes and play, its the same amount of players as networking computers would be. and at least halo has a storyline and co-op mode, Unreal tourney Is just a bunch of people put in an arena to kill eachother

[scarecrow kfj]

I just want to play.... waiting and waiting and waititng

[l Maximus l]

Madmoose...well, you have to admit, Unreal Championship will also be cool even if you are dumped into an arena hunting your buddies down to kill them hehe...

I have Halo chillin' in my living room...I can't wait to pop that puppy in my XBox after I race a few tracks on PGR

Bots would of been nice, just to add some replay value...just because the AI is so good...but I would rather play with real people on another game, like Tribes or CS

[JeremyX]

What are Bots?

[Frostberg]

The computer controlled players...like in Quake games, Perfect Dark etc...It just would of been nice to take advantage of the super smart AI in Halo.

[SquirrelJam]

what are bots?

Characters or enemies you face, that would normally be played or controlled by humans, are instead, controlled by Artificial Intelligence. Autonomous robots, if you will. Sometimes they can be rather effective but really, the most fun is had with "human" competition.

Thanks for educating this Xbox addict.

UT's bots sucked ass, even on Godlike.. all bots suck ass..
Nothing beats human comp.

The only reason UT was cool with bots is cause you could rack up mad headshots..

[kiz10]

Never realised there was no bots, until some guy told. Thats a real shame. Imagine playing Halo in the multiplayer level against the bots. It would be awesome wiht the amount of A.I involved.

[Rancey]

Especially if it is a huge multiplayer map even if you got a couple players it could be more fun with a couple of bots just so you encounter action more.

So let me get this straight. To use the LAN mode, you have to have 2-4 Xboxes in one room and a corresponding number of TV's? Or does the screen split 16 times? Either way, its kind of impractical. Not that it wouldn't be cool, but I have a hard enough time getting a 4 player game of Pefect Dark together. Do you have to have 4 copies of the game, or do they all feed off the "master" system? No internet capability or simulants isn't cool given the description of the levels. I think they should have taken more of the aspects that made Perfect Dark and 007 so successful for N64. Lots of realistic guns and good levels for 2-4 players. How often is the average person going to use the 8-16 player mode?
