It would be really useful if the bots were good enough to replace quitters so games don’t get ruined by that
I hope they add Variety AI.
Eg if 3/4 members of your team leave and the AI take over, or in the vs AI modes. I hope some are really hard to kill, and others are standard/easy. That way it feels more like I am playing different players of different skillsets. Makes them feel more human that way.

They confirmed in Inside Infinite that there are 4 different difficulties of bots - Marines, ODST, Spartans, I forgot the fourth

lmao this escalated quickly
The plan isn’t to have bots replace or backfill human players in matchmaking. Bots will have a dedicated humans vs bots playlist (bot arena) and bots will be available in custom games. But nowhere does it say bots will replace humans in matchmaking.
Yea bots aren’t in MM and will not be stand ins or available JIP placements added in when people leave.
That aside, there’s only positives to having bots available to us. There’s so much you could figure out in the game, and they’re great for the very obvious use they were intended for. New players.
I know they are talking about bots but someone remembers the bots from Gears of War 2 compared to the ones from Gears 3 they looked completely silly. Those bots were very skilled with the sniper something like that I imagine with Halo Infinite.
It could be a bummer if we leave them weapons like rocket or sniper, but with the other weapons they could be more consistent.

Which ones? The bots in Gears of War 3 were atrocious. I had a 10+k/d and w/l in matchmaking largely because of bot replacements and no sbmm.
This is interesting. I never really thought about the introduction of bots this way.
I wonder if bots will support weaker players by following and pulling a few assits off of them, or purely contribute through kills?

hopefully the bots can be controlled with the ping system. like “follow this dude” lol
I hope they are like Rocket League in terms of how they will spawn/fill in games where if games are taking too long to find or if someone leaves a bot fills in, but in competitive they aren’t present at all.

yeah, that would for sure help out in the less popular game modes. Would for sure allow for a more diverse set of playlists. Not just all obj gametypes placed into one.
Would love to just queue up in CTF and know i’m ONLY getting ctf.

Flaming each other isn’t going to fix anything.
I’m Indifferent to their use in matchmaking. But I’m stoked about custom games. I go significant periods (like, up to a year) without playing at a time. It’s always a struggle getting the hang of it again when I come back. Would be nice to be able to warm back up without wrecking my K/D.

Same, we already got enough bots in MP

I still compete in tournaments and I don’t like the idea of bots, even in social. But everyone has their own opinion Also they’re gonna have specific playlists in which u can play against bots. That and ofc custom games.
I honestly won’t mind playing against bots, as it will give me a chance to get a feel for the maps, weapons, and gear, plus I won’t rage against a bot. I don’t want a flight to feel like a sweat fest; it should be considered a treat.

causally assigns chistmas noob a crutch
I just want to see 2 more difficulties being “Legendary” and “Mint” that is exclusive for solos and custom
Legendary will just have bots will be like Master Chief, meaning just being lucky isn’t enough… You gotta make your luck.
Mint is just Legendary, but bots now know how to abuse the physics in the game. Conquering and mastering Legendary is highly recommended.
The two achievements I like to call is, “Beyond Legend” and “Wait. That’s illegal.” Beyond Legend is when you find the Mint difficulty for the first time by spamming for harder difficulty beyond Legendary while the other is beating a match in Mint difficulty.
