I had a few ideas for ppl who wanted weapons settings/custom loadouts to be completely customizable, and for people who want ai in custom games
instead of the loadout affecting the weapons and grenades and possible equipment, the loadouts you choose to edit in customs are basically like editing the base player traits. each loadout can have options like weapons, damage, forced colour, camo, movement, etc.
this would benefit custom games a whole lot
and in terms of weapons, there could be a menu under weapons and loadouts that could edit each weapon’s properties, but these are overwritten by custom loadouts.
Ai in custom games could be very simple to set up
rather, you wouldnt set them up in custom games lobby directly
the Ai could be set up in forge, where the ai character is like a forge object, and you can edit their colour, armour setup, base traits, and movement options. you can set their paths, like if you were playing on a custom map, you can set the ai to move to a certain area, or to move around obstacles. this, mixed with the path finding abilities that the ai had in halo reach, would help realize the idea of ai in custom games
or you can leave the forms blank, and have a random character standing around, doing nothing.
anyways, i hope at the very least, 343 made custom loadouts actually customize player traits, and somewhat implement ai in custom games.
