Have you played the Conker L&R multiplayer? Well, something similar to that.
-
And make it so that you and a friend could get together, and play against bots, bots just let you play when there is noone around.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] John Caboose I'd like to see something like the Drivatars from Forza Motorsport. You'd train them up using different modes and so on, then you would load up your Drivatar (Chiefatar) and be able to use them if you leave a game of Matchmaking.[/quote] thats probably one of the best ideas yet but there would have to be a lot of training for them to learn evreything but i like that idea a lot except make it for us to also play agianst blah blah blah

Why are people -blam!-ing about how fighting bots isn't as good as fighting people. Bots won't replace splitscreen/Live. No ones forceing them to fight bots. Why don't they just akcept people will benifit from bots. Any way even people who want to play bots will still wana play people. Plus, bots don't smell as bad as some people on live. SO ANY WAY STOP GIVEING BOTS A HARD TIME THEY HAVE EMOTION CHIPS TOO!
-
bots would be fun like in 007 : nightfire for xbox but it would be hard for bungie to progam the bots to able to know how to play every type of game and they probably probably wouldnt be able to play in custom games that you created
-
Bots should be able to have diffrent skins. Like: Green Spartan, Red Spartan, Black Spartan, Female Spartan, Blue Elite, honor guard, Mk5 spartan, Mk6 spartan ect... Another idea would be to have scenarios/ mini campains where you play against bots to do an objective. For example; A Normal game of CTF apart from your the only guy on your team and the other team (all bots) have a hunter guarding their flag.
-
An interface similar to PD's would be wonderful...
-
I think it would be cool to have bots. They would be greate for times when your friends can't get down to play split screen and you don't have live and your sick of campain and its a summer like now and theres no games comeing out for the 360 so you can't play any thing else. The only thing with bots on muliti player is they tend to suck ass. We all remember Timespliters Future Perfect? You shold be able to set the bots to difrent dificulties like on campain. So ARE YOU LISTENING BUNGIE?
-
Meh bots online would be somewhat neat but then again bots just for System link and multiplayer would be better for those who dont have xbox live. Putting bots online would create confusion for some but then would bring a aspect of bigger warfare. Tho online should be for players only.
-
Obviously most % of Halo players wish to have bots in the game. While Halo 2 was being created many Threads were created in the same aspect. Everyone was agreeing to add Bots to the game. I agree in having bots in the game, would be alot of fun. But we really need to see what Bungie think of the whole idea. Have much would it cost? How long will take? ... etc Just imagine playing against 8 bots on Coag 1Flag CTF.. All of them jumping in a Warthog and racing to the rocks, one running to snipe and start camping and someone in the ghost and banshee... Sounds pretty sweet but its a long shot for a request. Im all for having BOTS in the Halo 3, though don't add in Matchmaking
-
Don't you think bots would kinda kill Halo's Mulitiplayer? Fighting an AI opponent is nothing like going toe-to-toe against humans, and that's what Halo multiplayer is all about: MULTI-play.
-
Amen to the Nightfire! that game was soooo fun! I played miltiplayer on that snowy, two-based map with that pully thing that went in between the things... One was a castle and the other base was a hotel or something. Well, I think that bots would roXorZ on Halo 3.
-
heres a idea for bots. Make it to where you can edit your own bots like say the Red Faction 2 game did. You can train your own bots and have them ready for like multiplayer action.Make it to where you can set up on what guns they go for. Will they be sneaky,Campers,lunatic grenade lobbers, Grenade Campers, Beserkering Led pumpers or what ever . LIke make it to where you can set them for the way they fight in the game that way it will give a some what strategic feel and harder combat. Like you can train one for a sniper, Stealth, or probably have a bot that sticks to high ground and just nonstop tosses grenades down below while the LEd pumpers numb people up. It be somewhat like fighting Normal or Heoric difficulty bots that actualty think depending on how you set them and what not. [Edited on 8/22/2006]

i just want bots because im the only one that plays halo in my house now that my bro left so and i rarely get to have my friends around to play so i would like bots please [Edited on 8/22/2006]
-
I really like MC 100's idea, having a certain amount of points to spend on bots, do you go for quality of quantity? I think Bots should have an element of their single player counterparts to them, being able to swap weapons with them, speech etcetera, but I think some resourcefulness would also benefit them, being able to swap wearpons on the battlefeild and sneak without a given cue from a player.
-
Halo 3 should definitely have bots, since many of the maps are too big for 2-4 players, maybe the bots could be the characters besides spartans and elites, like marines and grunts and hunters and brutes.
-
Bots would be nice for non-XBL play. And really, I only have one reason why I really would like to see bots... When I'm playing someone 1v1 on splitscreen or system link, and their skill level is ridiculously low, I'd like something to do besides practice my jumps. Otherwise, if I spend all my time finding new ways to kill them by "accident", the games become extremely short and I feel like the backside of an 8 legged mule when the match is over because it'll be 25 to 0 and all my deaths will be as a result of me attempting to juggle plasma grenades..... it'd be nice to run around and kill bots and laugh at how many times my friend can die by running over his own grenades, and atleast then he can savour in victory for once...
-
We need bots! Some people are against them, and that's cool, so if they don't want them they can turn off the bots. I want the bots to not be in XBL though, only in splitscreen. I think there should be different bot models and you could pick the weapon or weapons they started with. They should be able to drive vehicles and even predict what you'd do next if you continued to do the same thing. You should also be able to set their skill level. Of course all of this is based on whether or not Bungie decides to add bots;)
-
i LOVE bots... i think that bots should be used in HALO 3...cause not everyone has xbl. ok...there are rules I came up with... 1.) you cna only have so many of one character 2.) You only get 5 bots per side 3.) here are the bot clasification Grunt-1 Jackal-1 Elite-2 Brute-4 Hunter-5 Drone-3 Flood combat/Human-4 Flood combat/elite-4 Marine-2 ODST-3 (this means you can only have one hunter...or 2 elites and a grunt...etc) 4.)the bots DO have to pick up ammo 5.) The Bots have the same heath and sheild (if they have any) that they do in the game 6.) The bots are not perfect...they act almost the same as they do in the game 7.) you can set their aggresion, and difficulty 8.) You can chose what kind of elite, grunt...etc...you want (like HOnor gaurd elite/brute, spec ops grunt...etc) 9.) for the bots that cant pick up the bigger weapons...have them carry 3 weapons instead of two. and 10.) for the Hunters...make them have to get ammo for their FRG...and have them be able to use their sheild ram. so these are the rules i came up with...any MORE ideas? CT

That would be kickass if SP and MP came on separate discs. That way they could expand the s**t out of the game and use every little piece of the disc for the SP plot. Great idea!
-
Of course I would like to see bots. I heard RUMORS that the campaign and multiplayer would be on seperate discs. If so, Bungie could bring a lot of new, mindshattering stuff to the already great game. Bots would add a ton of replayability and definately be a plus for those of us that dont have XBL (Ugh.. Satellite..). Bots could always be given extra armor, health or weapon damage tweaks to add challenge.. It really would be a great addition.
-
Definitely! Everybody and their dogs were hoping Halo 2 was going to have AI bots implemented. I know, myself, wanted them. However, I don't think there should be any sort of "easy" AI difficulty settings. Just me ole' .02! :P
-
Hows about CTF with bots where both teams get a defending hunter, one jackal sniper, six or more grunts, and four drones, and two defending jackals, and special counciler/honor guard elites to help you get the flag.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Diablo013 bots would be no good. they would just take up WAY too much data, memory, or wutever to make them and they would never be as good as real players using bxr, crouching to dodge melees, and all that stuff.[/quote] And you are basing this on what? That no other shooters have bots? The Pickled One [quote]I don't think bots should be allowed in Live, but I think they're essential this time around in regular multiplayer. Y'see, I don't have access to the sort of internet that even allows decent live play, and as such I've never been able to experience a big team battle at all.. [/quote] Epic took a good long hard look at this when they were making Unreal Championship I & II for the xbox, and their conclusion was that 90% of Xbox owners can't or won't play online, which is why both games include bots AND xbox live. [quote]Perhaps it's something completely insurmountable as far as programming difficulty is concerned, but I don't see that it should be. Unreal Tournament proves that bots can be made to recognise triggers (flags, bombs and fairly complex mission objectives), any RTS proves that bots can be intelligently defensive (remain in a base) as well as simply offensive.. Beyond that, it's simply tweaking them to act in a way that's less campaign and more "UT bots doing teamwork", at which I dare say they excelled. [/quote] Quoted for Great Justice. Look at the hoops people will jump through in order to add homerolled bots to Halo CE, obviously there is a big demand.

Bot would be nice, I would trust Bungie with that challege. Go GET EM dudes!!
