Counter Strike is the only game I enjoy playing online with my PC. Minus the "hax" and all the stupid "txt" speak from the Americans but if you look around for some 24/7 servers you can usually find some decent people as well as players.

When ever I want to play people like that I just use Counter Strike or the standard Half Life multiplayer.

No bots was the reason I stopped playing Halo after four days, when I had completed it.


I'd still be playing deathmatches now if it did, the only other console FPS I have is Timesplitters 2, and that's naff.

I wasn't intentionally trying to make it appear like that.
It's just you seemed negative towards the idea at the start, but like you said, it's better to please everyone.

You say that as if I said I hope bots aren't included. All I was saying was that it won't make my experience any different.

I agree with what you say though as it is a win-win situation who can't get connected to LIVE.

This is exactly it.
That's why there should be bots. For the people that want them: they're there, and for people like you who don't like them, they don't have to use them.

Including bots pleases everyone, it's a win-win scenario. Not including them won't bother some people at all, but for others (like Mav and I) it'll be annoying not to have them.
