In Response To: Why? (Matt) : Why? They did not make the decision. If you must blame anyone, blame Bungie. : Bots were in doubt long before MS bought us. I distinctly remember multiple : conversations in our pre-buyout Chicago offices in which someone would ask : for bots and someone else (usually a programmer in a position to know what : he was talking about) argued just as stridently against them. On what grounds? Too difficult? Not necessary? (These : conversations usually ended with a Bungie Customer Support person stomping : back to his desk, shouting "Fine, I'll forward all the hate mail to : you.") Sounds like a good idea. Just post the email address here and we'll take care of the forwarding :) [snip] : It's not that bots aren't cool, but Halo does not really suffer for lack of : them. They were never a key part of the design. Would it be fair to say, then, that Halo-- as it will ship in November-- is primarily and essentially a single-player game? After all, there's no Internet play, and LAN play is limited to 4 players on 1 box, requiring you to have people in the same room with you. How many people would've ever played Myth multiplayer with that restriction? --Narcogen
