I bet there's more posts about the SSX demo here than on its proper thread.
They haven't confirmed Halo 4's absence from the MS Showcase.

Not looking too good...

Yeah, well I hate you.
Who's that handsome devil with a far more respectable, moreso than it was yesterday, 7.9 million in Trick?
Nah you cant leave it just yet, I posted a new score you gotta beat.
Its a real shame Halo sucks, hopefully soon enough Halo will be worth tallking about again.

Im really hoping we get that update tonight, I was looking forward to the audio talk.
That, or people just order take out and give up on a tasty dinner.
Eh, if its not there Im under the impression we will see it just as soon, otherwise I imagine we would have our hopes crushed more aggressively. Still, this level of silence about when to expect news can be frustrating.

I wish Halo could implement a Halo TV or a spectator mode, i understand its taxing on the network but seriously it would be insane for the tournament scene

And thought I'd point this thread out: Student and Teacher editions of Adobe software are at an extra 80% off. Really good deal.
When Halo CE first launched I was appalled that there weren't bots. That was after playing Perfect Dark non-stop for at least a year. Now... I can't say I really care. Might as well, I guess?
Sorry bro, I read it on NeoGAF.
I think those are great as pieces of art, and world building fiction. The 'behind the scenes' on the making of the Halo 3 diorama - an ad I hated - is actually my favorite live action piece made for the Halo games. They way they are showing us how much pure artistry went into the creation of it, documentary-style, while also setting it within the Halo fiction was just brilliant. The music (seriously, holy crap), the narration, the meta story telling...I've watched it more than any of the live action stuff released so far. We're talking of dozens of viewings over the years. And most of the live action has been fantastic.
But to get on my little soap box - *snip*
Nah. Let's not.

Nope, Bots AI would suck.
You can do all you said without them bar practice with weapons and you have firefight and campaign to test them
I just like to fight bots sometimes.
Firefight yo
Can't play those on the standard multiplayer maps, and why would Covenant AI be any better than bots to practice?
But my K/D man!

I'm doing posters for MLG Columbus, I will be doing one with Frankie head and Master Chief (still thinking of others) if I can have his blessings<3
I was thinking about making one of those

He does, he gets pooped on a lot.
Yes I check to see if people are dongers material.
There isn't really a reason why it SHOULDN'T. Unless someone wants to claim it takes resources or something.

Bots were probably considered long ago for Halo but the amount of AI that goes into making the Covenant behave in a realistic manner is staggering and continues to expand as the series goes on. I can't imagine resources being allocated away from something to work on multiplayer bots. I think it would have been 'too easy' for them to ship some bots that had decent pathfinding and whatnot but then what would happen on a map that's been altered by Forge? Realtime pathfinding would be incredibly straining I'd imagine. You probably couldn't play over Live with bots as a result.
I'm just pulling all sorts from my head atm Forgive the inaccuracies.

But seriously, it's very low on my list of priorities.

Can you imagine having Reach's 'friendly' A.I. doing flag runs on a hog? Not even flag runs, just driving the hog. Probably would do a better job than most players of the game these days

Limiting splitscreen to one or two playlists in matchmaking is fine and in fact pretty fucking necessary, but removing it would be stupid. And definitely keep it for customs.
I really can't fathom the splitscreen hate amongst some of HaloGAF. Nearly all of my best gaming memories have been from local multiplayer. Removing guests from matchmaking would be a huge stab in the heart.

Guests =/= Splitscreen
I think Truskill would benefit from a lack of guests. At the same time, multiple gold accounts on splitscreen would not interfere with it because it has the necessary date for each player.
(How are guests generally counted in Truskill stuff anyways?)

Right, but I still think guests should stay in. Just limit them to a few playlists. Social Slayer, Social Objective, Living Dead, Action Sack... And yeah, that's about it.
God, I really miss Halo 3's Social / Ranked playlist dichotomy and numbered ranking system. So much better than this Arena shit.

Not really you can make bots way above any human level which increases the pace of which you progress through any skill gaps. I love cranking up the UT99 bots and getting shit on only to find myself two hours later being semi-competitive against them. Also I love the scaling option that sets them back and forth til you find your competitive level. Bots can be done.
Its just a DIFFERENT way of playing it not regressing really. Thats like saying turn based games were made irrelevent the moment they made real time strategy and thats not true its just a different game style. Though I doubt Bungie could program any intelligent AI (BURN)
I hate it because it ruins my gaming time. I paid for the game, the guests didn't.(and if they did they need to go home and play their copy on their own screen
) I shouldn't have to put up with a match of me and 3 split screeners against a group of 4 people playing single, and yet it happens so very often. It's not fun either way you cut it, pooping on them is just as boring as me getting dumped on because they're on my team.What if they made it like in Gears.
Social playlists, drop in drop out. Bots play in your place.
BUT THEY AREN'T ALLOWED TO GET INTO DRIVERS SEATS.
