Bots in Halo 4

Should there be bots in Halo 4?

It could aid in giving those members who are new to MP practice before they go and play online and get pwned.

Those without friends someone to spar against on multiplayer maps.

Those without xboxlive something to do apart from campaign.

The ability to Customise your own bot team and the opposing team.

Heck, you could even have AI controlled Spartans to fight with or against you on firefight. Even placing AIs in custom games and forge to create campaign like battle scenarios.

Opinions anyone.

It’s called campaign.

Though you have given me an idea. Wouldn’t it be entertaining to fight Spartans in Firefight?

There have been numerous discussions about this since he dawn of Halo. Basically the general consensus seems to be that yes, there should be bots to some extent. Basically they should be available in things like customs and firefight but not in any form of Matchmaking. There are also many who would like to see them in Forge. I’m pretty much the same. I’ve always enjoyed playing with bots, it’s basically the only reason I kept Killzone 2.

Love the idea, but maybe only for firefight(like instillation 04) or customs. they may work in BTB/invasion BTW.

They should do that, have a UNSC firefight.

But no bots wouldn’t work for Multiplayer at all.

I7’s 1n C0d 5o N0.

The typical Halo Waypoint forum goer.

lol I’m just joking guys.

OT: As long as they’re not idiotic, why not?

It can get boring after a while. With bots in custom games and forge you could enjoy endless fun creating skirmishes and major battles to your liking.

It would indeed :slight_smile:

How so? They work in plenty of other games, people have even modded them into Halo PC and they worked fine. If you mean for Matchmaking, then no, of course it wouldn’t work but for Customs, it certainly could.

i don’t think bots should be implicated into halo4’s multiplayer…but firefight matchmaking would be fine and actually a cool thing to play around with. so long as the bots aren’t terrible like the marines in previous halo games ahha.

Kinda off topic but when did they add ODSTs to firefight?

11

Not physically possible with the Halo engine, maybe for Halo 5 assuming they create a new engine.

12

For customs, yes. Would be awesome. I don’t want them anywhere near Matchmaking though.

Probably wouldn’t work on forged maps though, as much as people want that.

Anniversary Map Pack I think. I dunno if it’s applicable to that map only. Probably is.

For custom games/forge it’d really help the people who do machinimas. This could possibly branch out to Covenant, Forerunners, civilians, aircraft, etc…

It would be nice to, like a test for your created maps, Gametypes and if your not able to play with bots if you dont have Live,

The Timesplitters series is a good example why Halo 4 should have bots :slight_smile:

15

They could. But I don’t think they should. It completely changes multiplayer. So IF they did it would have to be a separate multiplayer game like firefight.

16

Yes… There should be bots… So many games now a days have them for when people quit out of the game. All they would need to do is record all of their testers during play and use those parameters for the AI. It wouldn’t be easy - but it would be a great addition into the Halo Universe.

17

I agree OP, that would be a nice addition.

Thanks friend :slight_smile:

They’ve already started the AI process with the enemies in firefight, all they need to do is go a bit more in-depth with the AI so that they can have competent bots in customs and forge.

> They could. But I don’t think they should. It completely changes multiplayer. So IF they did it would have to be a separate multiplayer game like firefight.

They wouldn’t be in matchmaking, the bots would be more for someone that isn’t online at the time and just wants to get some practice and experiment.

This is a very good idea atlest to me because i dont have XBL but still can play with bots ofline like its multiplayer
