Apparently there is a strong chance of multiplayer bots in Halo 4, as 343 hired someone who has alot of experience with it!
If you like the post hen can you guys please comment so it can be held up high for longer so more people can see it.
This doesn’t really prove or disprove that bots will be in the game. Either way I’ve been begging for the addition of bots to replace Firefight since before Reach released. It just makes sense on so many levels. The biggest being the ability to test custom maps and game settings. Let’s be honest… It doesn’t matter how popular a game is now adays. Unless you’re one of the bigger community members it’s hard as all hell to get a full party together for a map test.
This will be the worst possible addition to Halo. Bots do not work in kill dependent or objective gametypes. It doesn’t work in Gears and the fundamentals are the same.

If this were the case, then they’ve be a great addition.
I would love some bots to play with privately as a bit of a practice for me. I think custom games and private matches would be ok.
I could see where they could be problems in a multiplayer match because usually the bots aren’t intelligent enough and will easily get themselves murdered very easily and thus very easy points.

Ever play the harder bots in UT3? They headshot you… They go for the objectives… They don’t suicide… They are basically better versions of your average player. Even if the bots aren’t that great they would still be nice to have for customs. I don’t think they should be in competitive multiplayer though because people just boost kills off of them. Sometimes in Gears of War you get bot match after bot match and you can just grind out tons of kills. It would just alter peoples stats far to much and it would get abused.
Maybe they’re just hiring somebody they know is good at AI programming to have the best enemy AI possible in Campaign and Firefight. Just because they did a certain job before at another company doesn’t necessarily mean that they’ll be doing the same job at 343 Industries too.
