This may be a little late and probably not been talked about that much but for anyone who has played the firefight map Installation 04 knows that there are 4 ODSTs on the top of the middle structure. Now I do actually like having friendly AIs fighting along side you in a survival like game mode but in CEA they kind of suck. They just stand there and not take cover. They also get easily killed by weaker enemies like jackels and grunts. It sucks that they die within the first few waves. The ODST(s) that gets dropped off via pelican after you finish a round are pretty good gunners on warthogs and they actually FOLLOW you anywhere on the map. If 343 can’t improve the AI than at least make the 4 beginning ODSTs behave like they ones that get dropped off via pelican.
I’d doubt we’d see some improvements to AI, especially on an old game. Maybe in the future Halo games?
I think firefight AI’S like ODST’S or marines should be in more maps because it makes the game feel more alive.

I hope it will be something they’ll consider in Halo 5: Guardians.
give the first odsts rockets or sniper and then they will be effective at killing
I also wish they were better. Especially when one player is playing as an Elite, which has all the existing Covenant AI already on its side, it would be nice to have a challenge fighting the human AI.
Looking at past Halo games, such as Halo 2, the AI have gotten some major improvements. I remember when I’d play Halo 2 and I’d give my Marine a rocket launcher. A minute later they’d kill me with it, but I do understand the problem. The AI are okay, but they can be even better. Halo needs to have AI sort of like Left 4 Dead yet not as intense. I love having AI being able to take on more than 7 enemies before dying, but there’s a reason they don’t have them killing everything. It takes the fun out of the game. It’s nice to have allies that are very helpful, but sometimes they can be too helpful and take all the kills which would take all the glory from you. After all you’re the super soldier. Halo could have AI, but they’re probably afraid of making the AI too smart.
As the Halo series progresses I believe you can see the A.I.'s get better and better. They are absolutely great in ODST. I can’t recall how they were in Reach though.
Have you guys not seen terminator, or even halo 5 gaurdians? Maybe we should think before asking for smart AI
