Bots wish list!
In Forge:
Obviously it would be great to be able to force them into your maps! You could create single player type maps. Maybe even a horde mode type. Bots would be a great addition to the forge tool chest.
In Customs:
It would be amazing if we could customize and save bots with their own names/tags. Also would be cool if you can use the armor you unlocked to customize them. Also would be amazing if you can customize their tendencies. One could perfer close quarters and another could like playing at range. I’m just wonder how indepth bots are going to be.
I know this is probably the last thing on peoples minds lol. But I have a dumb little idea of making my own little bit league and just spectating bots of 4v4 go at it in slayer. I even wanna track stats for them and everything! It’s just something that peaked my interest in doing. But that is my wish list and things I’m hoping for when it comes to the bots.
While I doubt 343i will go that in depth that would be really cool. We could have some bots on higher difficulties, while others are lower. Being able to customize, and name them would be pretty fun. It’d also open up quite a few possibilities for custom games.
Bots vs Bots could actually be very helpful in studying combat as well. What weapons beat other weapons and how often, judging power of different weapons. Even going up against dumb bots for sniper practice would be helpful. It’s going to be a great tool!

Assuming there’s forgeable AI and we can spawn NPCs from the Banished, Flood, UNSC, etc it would be fun just making them fight one another on custom maps.

Forge is going to be absolutely insane in Infinite. I hope we get forgeable AI, and I hope their pathfinding is advanced enough to navigate forge maps.
I’m honestly not excited to have to fight Flood in 4k graphics…The nightmares bro. My anxiety spikes every time I play the original Trilogy against Flood

So I’m literally trying to make a Halo Bot Legaue where I have 16 teams of just bots of various levels of difficulty going against one another and just track a regular season and playoffs. I want to then eventually forge maps so each team would them have a home map to play on. But I’m afraid the AI pathfinding won’t learn the forged maps and would just be running into walls. Only time will tell

That would be incredible. I can’t wait to see that!
I feel like I’m the only person saying this, but:
(and correct me if I’m wrong)
I want to see BOTS in CUSTOM GAMES, as placeable objects, like Initial Spawn Points…BUT:
I want them to be beyond just Spartan Bots.
I want Covenant Bots…ALL factions…Elite, Grunt, Jackal, Brute, Etc.
I want Banished Bots…same.
Heck: I want wildlife bots.
And I want them all to be scalable in difficulty or hostility.
Enemy Territory had insane bots. The nicknames were hilarious and they’d even trash talk.

That would literally bring forge to the next level!!! Have all that capability at your disposal! The amount of creativity that would come from just having bots is insane! Especially if they add all the factions! I would assume that would be the next step for them if they want this game to have a long life span. Because forge added so much replayability in halo that they need to keep improvising and improving that game mode!
