a BETA with bots? Why?
It’s a brand new system that they need to test/stress their servers with. They want lots of data and given that chance at having both pvp and pve people would probably prefer the pvp so they limited it to peeps vs bots.

It’s not a beta

It’s a new feature to Halo, and it’s something they want to test?
if they add bots into multiplayer it takes away any competitiveness. Imagine losing because your bot goes neg… sounds sweet huh?

sounds better than being left completely alone to fight against an entire team when the rest of your teammates leave mid match

They did say the bots had different difficulty settings. Think you’ll only really need to worry about your own K/D, champ.

> By opting for a Bot-focused tech preview first, we can test our servers twice as much. Each match only needing 4 players (instead of 8) gives us 2x the matches and essentially doubles our data

If you got an invite for PC and don’t want to play I’ll gladly take your invite. Yeah I’ll spend more of my time when the game comes out doing PvP but I personally really want to try out the bots
I would rather have no teammates then bots for teammates to throw the game.
just seems very problematic to me.
It is not a beta and people need to realize this. Stop thinking this will be a beta, it’s a flight.
Why don’t we wait and actually see what we are dealing with?

Exactly. 1v4 is hella fun.
Then dont play it of you dont like bots?
Isnt it 4 people vs 4 bots anyway so whats the problem?

They stressed SO many times that this is NOT a beta.
To test the bots and the servers. Also it’s not even a beta.

Don’t believe you’re actually having bots for teammates, you’re just playing against bots.

We do not know to what level bots are going to be in Multiplayer and what modes. But we DO know that they need testing in an open environment, and How the general public will interact with bots. Heck even on Livestream it was said “The bots do not know how to handle the needler” As a Professional QA to me that means, they need to make the AI understand when / how they’re being attacked by the needler. It is our Duty as Flight-ees to make the game and its system as robust and bug free as possible.
If you do not like the way the bots are working or how they’re implemented this is your opportunity to test the feature, discuss the problems and send in feedback. Please use this energy you have to rigorously test this feature, ESPECIALLY because you don’t trust it to work.
I don’t mind having the bots only in this flight. I will be sad tho if they don’t invite everyone from the bots flighting into the PvP flighting.
“Bots come in four flavors: Recruit, Marine, ODST and Spartan” This little tid-bit is taking from the news page we got near the start of July. It describes that ODST and Spartan level bots will actively try to dodge gunfire, nades and rockets while also using equipment and power weapons. So be prepared to be outplayed by a Spartan level bot grappling hocking onto you and cutting you in half with a plasma sword.
