Bots replacing quitters/balancing teams can be unhelpful

Just played a match of Oddball my where the game was unable to find a 4th player for my fireteam so a bot was spawned instead of just starting the match as 3v4. And boy let me tell you, 3v4 would have gone a lot better than 3+botv4 did. The bot was Marine ranked and did not squad up up with us. It allowed the enemy team to find us by following the bot that was running around like a lost child trying to find me and my teammates all the while it would give the other team free kills by charging in to a room with an SPARTAN equipped with a Gravity Hammer just farming kills from the bot.

We need an option to kick bots or not allow bots to join your games if the game can’t find a player willing to join.

IT JUST HAPPENED AGAIN! This time it was just a slayer game. The bot got 1 kill and 11 deaths. We lost the game by 8 kills. This is totally unfair.

Those bots are probably worse than no one. In game of oddball, the opposing team was pretty setup in a corner of the map. We managed to kill the ball carrier, and a bot on their team picked it up and proceeded to just wander aimless outside of their set up and hand deliver us the win. They are more trouble than their worth.

That would be interesting to see. I say give it a try.
