Ok, just had this idea. its quite the stretch, and very unlikely to actually become a thing, but I thought it was worth writing down for any of you that are interested.
Halo infinite has spartan bots in multiplayer. and with that, Forge will have AI scripting. so what if we could spawn in Spartan bots with customized armor?
Brainstorming a bit, I think it could work like this:
in the customization menu, there would be an option to save your current armor configuration as a template. each player would have about 25 save slots. these templates could then be spawned in forge as AI.
