Re: No Bots

In Response To: Re: No Bots (Xmagic2002)

: I meant the simplicity compared to the rest of the project. Creating bot AI
: isn't as hard as creating a physics engine... buck-o. Especially with how
: they talk about their wonderful singleplayer AI. I deserve no bashing from
: you anyhow... I simply expressed my and some other's feelings about this
: subject.

Halo multiplayer isn't exactly as simple as Unreal Tournament multiplayer, especially when there are supposedly 15 different major multiplayer gametypes. Don't forget the ability to use multiple vehicles and certain positions in vehicles, and teaching the AI when each position is appropriate. Yes it could be done, but Bungie is also hell-bent on making a great and immersive solo campaign complete with in-game cutscenes and a great storyline.

When you factor everything else that is in the game, multiplayer bots are too much work for something that is really not all that important, especially when there is a mac/pc version coming later that will support online play.

Did I answer your question?

ps: sorry about the bashing comment, you hit a nerve that's all. no offense meant
