Can we play Big Team Battles with the new AI Bots?

At this point that is the only question I have left.
Would be really bad if they could only be used for 4 vs 4.
12 vs 12 Big Team Battle with the bots on their new SPARTAN difficulty is what I want to do the most in Halo Infinite right now besides the Campaign.

343i, please make it happen.

Given bots appear to be in social modes only, I dont see why they wouldnt be.

It would be nice to have bots to fill in the player gaps if some players have to leave.

Probably.

That’s already been confirmed.

unrelated, but theres no way bots could work on forge maps, right? like generating a functional nav mesh just wouldn’t be possible. hopefully though they make them available on all non-forge maps.

Bots are great so far. At this point this is the only question I have left before the full game is released. Really hope someone from 343 can tell us if the bots can be added to Custom Games for Big Team Battles?

Can we finally get a answer for this or will we have to wait until the full game is released to find out ourselves?

I’d assume that it would be possible, but it’s only a dream so far.

I mean, there’s map editors that have had nav mesh tools for over a decade.

My big question is even if they could operate in BTB, will they operate vehicles?

Imagine bots raiding a base with Scorpions and Gauss hogs

The bots could always use vehicles in the Campaigns so I think this would be an obvious YES

Any confirmation for this yet?
The answer to this one shouldn’t be classified.
All I really want is a simple YES or No from someone at 343 or Microsoft that knows the answer.

Will we be able to play the new Big Team Battle in Custom Games with the AI Bots in the full game when it releases on December 8th?

This is a man on a quest for an answer lmao. Hopefully we’ll find out when the Sep 24 flight hits!

LOL. Idk how to feel about that tbh.

Since it will be possible to add bots in custom games, meaning that ideally it would be possible to play every standard mode (including big team battle) with bots, I would expect them to be present in the flight for this mode, so that we can test them and ensure they are as good as possible for when the game launches.

Bots have always been able to use all of the vehicles in every Halo game including Combat Evolved.
And in Halo 5 we could tell our AI squadmates to use any vehicle during the Campaign.
So the answer to that would be an obvious YES!

and I’m back too, surprising to see myself from so long ago.

i would expect, with this specifically being a large scale test that we’ll see some bot activity, i doubt we’ll have a big team player vs bot playlist, but they’ll probably be testing the system that allows bots to jump in mid match, for any disconnections that they’ll also be testing.

with it mostly being a scale network test, their probably gonna invite just about everyone who successfully signs up, and test bots as much as possible… i would expect long load times and frequent disconnects.
