A simpleway to add AI to H5 Forge

Now I know Mr. Tom French said no AI in Forge unless they can do it right, so here’s an alternative for Halo 5:

  • Tempest/Reflection (Halo Reach) Killable fish that just swim in a random pattern and can be set to respawn.

  • Last Resort/Guardian (Halo 3) Killable Birds that fly around randomly and can be set to respawn.

  • Regret (Halo 5) Killable large insects that scuttle about randomly and can be set to respawn.

And of course add death animations or at least a small, but noticable blood spurt so we know we got the kill. Also don’t make AI kills count for any points in any mode, just good for target practice, or waiting for your friends to get online. I think for H5 this is VERY doable as the AI I’m referring to DON’T attack the player EVER, in fact they seem to be put there just for the player to kill out of boredom.

Baby steps, right?

Good ideas but I think it would be very, VERY buggy if someone added more than a few of theservice on a map that had a lot of objects, not to mention the Ai might walk through or isnide of walls. Totally on board if they add it though. Once again, good idea!

Wow this is actually a great idea

Thanks! :slight_smile:

I’d be behind that. It’s basically just an item with an animation and death pose.

Exactly, hmmm I’m gonna try tweeting the link of this thread to Tom French, just to get an opinion.

Weren’t there sentinels and constructors in Isolation (Halo 3)? I’d say those were like the fish and birds. Also rats from Halo 3 and Reach.

Oh yeah I remember killing the rats in Halo Reach. I was surprised it actually died when I managd to hit it. Then I felt bad
