i would there to put more splitscreen offline and online multiplayer.

BOTs i think should be in regardless. it annoys me when you play an old game and you cant get the multiplayer achievements because no other people are playing it online :(

I personally used them for UT2004 when I couldn't find decent MP games. I also used them to keep me a well oiled, proper killing machine :D

Local multiplayer will always be superior to online multiplayer in my eyes, and good bots are an essential part of local multiplayer.

We have the technology now to create very decent bots, and I hope many titles (Time Splitters 4) will utilize that in the future.

Thanks for agreeing, playing against bots in PDZ was actually better than playing the campaign, LOL.

I wish all games that had multiplayer included these. Unreal Tournament III has them, Gears of War 2, and the developers did a decent job with them. If only Warhawk or Halo had them.

Err. I can never play with bots for more than an hour at most. They get boring to me. Live competition is always preferred. I'd rather not play MP than play with bots.

I. Hate. Bots. They never come anywhere near behaving like actual players. I've also always found them to be rather bad for practicing before entering the multiplayer environment (I guess they help up to a certain point. Useful for people who are newer to the realm of online shooters.)

I personally never use them, but it'd be nice if all multiplayer games included them for those who want that option.

Only if bots are programmed better, that could happen.

Developers have taken split screend and bots out of games so we "the consumers" would play and "pay" for online play. Plus they have gotten lazy. I would rather play against bots and have splitscreen any day over online play...

I think it would be more difficult to set up and maintain online play then to add bots and Splitscreen in a game. Also Devs aren't making a profit from XBL... atleast not to my knowledge.

I think bots are fun. In KZ2 for example, I have a few friends that don't play the game very often and aren't the same skill level as me. As a result, they don't like playing in the same servers as me since they're playing against much higher ranks. So with KZ2 having bots, we can make a game and just have some fun on the same team. (that is, once the 1.21 patch comes out soon. can't wait!)

I don't think there is a game like that lol. (If there is I'd like to know) At best I would just have as many bots as I could go against me alone or with a buddy and beef up their difficulty. But it gets to the point where they don't miss and usually take half/ dish twice the amount of damage as you.

Yeah, but a standard for years to come wouldn't hurt, definitely if you make campaigns too short these days.

Bots are ok but they don't belong in a multiplayer server
