Had a thought pop into my head. I was recently playing the last mission “Lone wolf” In Halo Reach. There are these falling spartans lying dead all around the map, all wearing different combinations of armours. I always wondered what stories and lore they had. So… What if the bots in halo infinite could be these spartans or even better characters from the halo universe.
So my idea is, rather than having a plain bot with plain colours with the halo infinite default Mk7 amour. Imagine if there was like 12 different bots all with there own set of amours and colours. I’d like to see some bots being characters like ones that never made it to the final cut of the games like Rosenda-A344 from Halo Reach being a bot in infinite. Maybe in time we can have each bot with there own background, lore and armours. Think it would cool having one of these characters bringing more story into the game and seeing you’ve been killed by Rosenda-A344 rather than being killed by a bot. There could be one bot that could be your nemesis that killed you so many times, or one that has saved you so many times during a match.
Id like to see spartans that we know of but never saw in games. Ones from books or comics would be great that can expand the universe rather than having characters we’ve already seen being a bot. As much as i would like to see noble team running around being a bot in a game, they all died on Reach well accept Jun-A266.
Characters we could have as bots Red team.
Jerome-092, Douglas-042, Alice-130. Books we know Naomi-010 from kilo5 and Kurt-051 and Tom-B292, Lucy-B091 from ghosts of onyx to name a few.
Maybe 343i can introduce new characters into infinite too that are in the campaign and they could be bots. Maybe not at launch but in time I’d like to see it. Hopefully bots will be MORE than just a tool to use for weapon drills and that they can be quiet the adversary and can hold their own in matchmaking games. Maybe these character bots could be in the campaign too. You cleared out a outpost and managed to save a fellow spartan. I think it would be better for matchmaking too. Since the flight we know that bots will replace players who left the game. Think if these bots would be too easy to kill and that the other team would take advantage of this and only go for the bots because they would clearly stand out. Having characters as bots would hopefully blend bots in to your team and maybe this could help an already losing team. Maybe these different bots would have unique armours and you can unlock by killing them in matchmaking too. Something to grind for without it being too tedious or impossible to obtain. Let me know what you think. Cheers for reading.
