So in the vidoc it’s explained that bots will fill slots for players that leave, if that’s the case and bots usually being really dumb in games like Halo and CoD, to prevent the enemy team from breezing through by targeting bots, perhaps make it so that bots don’t give points towards winning? This is just an idea that I have for bots and think it may improve matches. What do you guys think?
Or improve the AI skills and adjusting them based on the ranks/skills of the players in a match, kinda like csgo does it

Joseph Staten pretty much stated that bots can be skillful in the Major Nelson interview.
Yeah I’m down with them matching bot skills to the players. Obviously I don’t want to see legendary bots in MP, but definitely something where they are more than just cannon fodder. Either that, OR reduce points drastically for bots so there’s less incentive for players to go after them.

Bots have come a long way over the last few years, they can be immense but will be interesting to see how they handle the Halo sandbox.

Yeah, I worry about this because strafing and jumping around corners matter lol.

I’m sure they’ll compensate for movement by being able to 1 shot no scope us from a mile away

The bots in csgo behave pretty similar to normal players, tho there are cases where they either are cannon fodder or aimbots. The AI is kinda mirroring the skill level of the real players, and i think valve tracks player movements on each map to autogenerate paths for bots instead of having them run the same route over and over or getting stuck on geometry and walls every now and then.
If the bots in infinite are similar to that, thats fine with me
Are you sure you got the info right? They said they would have have bots in Academy and in customs, but I don’t think they said anything about replacing human teammates with bots.

I’ve gotten my info from several sources, mainly Youtubers who have also read the doc, most of them have summarised it as bots replacing teammates in MM should they disconnect. I’ll have another read though to double check.
(Edit) Would someone mind linking the vidoc? I seem to have lost it.

“Bots can also be configured in Custom Games to tailor the experience and even in fill-in roster spots for MIA fireteam members.” It is talking about Custom games here, but we don’t know for sure if they’ll be in mm I don’t think.

I am worried about people farming bots for points. Why not just allow a player to join that match to fill in the gap? There are players searching for new matches all the time, just send em in!

The first one was what I was looking for, thanks. I feel this thread has served it’s purpose, thanks for all the replies!
I dont remember them saying bots replacing people that leave.
