Bots are a great addition to the sandbox
But WHY don’t they drive/gun for vehicles?
As for objective… they’ll pick the flag up but they won’t carry it home. They’ll run around and try to fight with the flag. Why?
Load up a custom game and test it. Its silly
because 343 are incompetent
Bungie was able to consistently both make marine/odst/elite allies both attack and GET IN VEHICLES. even the enemies. meaning, the code is there, sure it would need some tweaking, but it is there as a base for AI to get in vehicles…
as for objectives… ai in a campaign can go from point a - b because a certain condition has been met. so why not: if AI pick up flag = take path to flag base
Given how terrible drivers the A.I. had been in previous games, I am glad they cannot drive.
But I wonder how it is for Spartan Level bots? Or even ODST level bots.
Driving is quite easy to explain:
How should the know where to drive?
Yes, you can probably throw together some code that makes them drive around, but you definitely won’t be happy with the results.
But when it comes to playing Objectives, that’s actually counter-productive what they do right now, isn’t it?
It would probably be better, if they don’t pick up the flag at all, if they’re not intending to bring it home…
I think having a toggle of some kind in the custom games settings would be nice. As for pvp 343 could have the toggle turned off so they don’t get in the vehicles, but they could have it turned on for bot bootcamp.
I think you are right. However, they could very well be manning the turrets.
The person that is lead for creating the Bots addressed the unfinished state of Bots in regards to Objectives and using Vehicles. Supposedly, it’s being worked on. So… I expect it to be updated in 2027, lmao
I know you’re talking about warthogs but did want to share that I had a bot on my team get in a ghost on behemoth before promptly driving off the edge (after an attempted splatter I think) and suiciding in a game once.
Kat? Is that you?

The Bots in BTB:CTF are Really STTUUPPIIDD!!! 
Example: BTB:CTF if the Cobra team grabs the enemies flag the Cobra team will come back to their base and won’t cap the flag. . Now all the bots do is run just around their base! with the flag!
The bots in Unreal Tournament the bots a really smart! You can tell a bot to cover the flag, go after the flag and cover the flag carrier. The bots are awesome! 
was that not the bigst problem a lot off players have in halo reach campaign more and that youtube is full off clips from it how hard there fail.
or there drive the vehicles more to the enemy vehicles and let then destroy there own more super easy.
I would like them to shoot at least. If they’re like the campaign marines, then they’re alreay better that 90% of players.
I’ve been playing with and against ODST bots and they’re still terrible.
Not in multiplayer they weren’t lol.
The AI is adaptive. They learn to mimic what players do. We taught them this behavior.
Expectable, since vehicle combat is crap in this game. Even the big-team-battle maps have vehicle combat restricted to tight roads rather than more open areas with the occasional road.
It’s not unbearable if a bot picks up the Oddball, except for the fact that they’re constantly moving around the map, but at least we can defend them while the bot scores points. I’d rather it be smart enough to hide behind cover, but whatever.
As for the flag, they’re completely worthless. I wish I could betray bots with no penalty for wasting time.
In Slayer, also unbelievably worthless. Jumping and facing away from the enemy, free kills for the enemy, but bots never get kills. I’d rather have no bots, or at least Spartan bots.
For vehicles, I believe if you honk at a bot, since you ping your vehicle, the bot should use it as a waypoint, and hop in.
Your callout pings should have some form of influence on bots, since they’re already pretty useless. At least you could help tell them which way to go with the Oddball, or to chase an enemy.
Or at the very least, if they do pick up the flag, make it so that you can ask to take the flag from them. Like how you trade weapons.
Otherwise you get a bot running around with your objective that needs to be capped and will most likely watch it get domed, tea bagged, and then you’re the next target.
that means more that if there have been set on spartan level that there still suxs more.
the point is more like it has been always bots are only usefull to replace the one that have quit the match.
but in general there always are crap and pointless more the only reason there are usefull is to fill in the spot off the player that left the game thats the only thing there are usefull in this game more.
since Player’s level is a compleet other thing then a bot level like ODST or spartan.
Would be a fun Action Sack Game Mode, tho 
Something like sheep herding, where only Bots can pick up the Objective and you have to guide them towards the goal…
