I believe you should be able to spawn in AI in forge. This would open up huge oppertunitys and make the game alto better. It would majority benefit machining and production groups. Imagine how awesome it would be to line up tons of elites and fly by in a falcon filled with friends gunning them down! Come on 343, if your not going to give us firefight then do this for us please! I’ve already had a lot of good feedback from youtube so please, 343, do it for the fans
There won’t be AI in Halo 4’s Forge, it’d be to hard and a time consuming process to perfect it fully.
Also, Spartan Ops is the replacement for Firefight. There will be pretty similar missions to those of Firefight so don’t worry.
Welcome to Waypoint!
It would certainly be a nice addition.
I’d prefer to see the tools used to create Spartan Ops released into a community version for PC or an add-on to Forge itself.
Imagine the community creating a mini episode and missions to go along with it.

This. Making an AI for Forge would be more time-consuming and it would make Halo 4’s arrival unto your 360 even longer.
Better implementation would be spawning bipeds. Even without AI, it’d be neat to see the bipeds standing in front of turrets or at computer screens. Really useful for machinima purposes.
I could think of soooo many possible uses for this idea. I would love it if this happened but I doubt it. My favorite idea, target practice room.

That would be cool, but you have friends who can act out some of those scenes (save the sitting-in-the-chair-scenes). It would be cool to have this being done, because it would bring about a whole new move for File Sharing and machinima’s would be far easier to produce, but the timing would again be lengthened.
Unfortunately, this is something I doubt we’ll never see, even on the next-gen Xbox. Or, any future Xbox, for that matter. The thing is, Microsoft would rather have people play online with other players, for which they need to buy Gold subscriptions. If bots are provided, some players would find that playing against bots was a good enough alternative to skip buying Gold.
I myself would love to see it done, though (though I admit, I would be one of those who would definitely skip buying Gold, but then I don’t subscribe to Gold anyway).
Disclaimer: I don’t really know anything about coding or anything, but I’m pretty sure I know this.
Anyways, due to some sort of pathing issues the AI’s basically wouldn’t be able to see the forge stuff you placed down so the would just run into walls and it wouldn’t work. So, it isn’t possible as of now. Someone who actually knows about this stuff will probably show up eventually.
Best possible use for this: GRUNT PRISON!!!
Granted, it would loose some of it’s value due to them not looking so…harmless now.
Yes if possible but mostly for a custom games map
the ai don’t have to be elites or Spartans they can be moa or sentinels who attack players.
I vote yes on measures agree 
I want custom/forge ai
I’d love this idea, but I highly doubt it’d be in Halo 4. Let’s put it on a request list for 5 and 6.
Just give the ai a basic script and you can forge around that. Also if the ai can be on built in maps other than forge world v2 you can have a basic script for that to just find out what paths the ai take and forge around what they do. (if you decide to enable ai)
That would be awesome!
People have been asking for this since Halo 2, and it unfortunately will probably never happen. As a previous poster mentioned, it detracts from online play, where Microsoft, and by extension 343i, makes their money.
I would absolutely LOVE to be able to spawn AI in a custom game. Since there are no Covies though in multiplayer, would this mean just UNSC forces? Forerunner?
Also, since there is no Firefight either and we don’t know if we’ll be able to create our own custom Spartan Ops mission, AIs in customs won’t make sense. (Again, not that I don’t want them. I do, but they need to make sense.)
Of course the benefit would be for clips and machinima vids.
we dont need AI compatibility to be perfect, just functionable
It’s been asked before and the usual answer is no due to pathing issues. Though couldn’t you path an item like say a Coliseum wall turned into a floor and just have the Ai show up on it while they only can move along the restricted borders of the object? So long as the Forger keeps it clean of other objects you could have a room full of Elite waiting to ambush a player.
I know we would have pathing issues, but couldn’t we set an allocated zone for AI to patrol and not leave?
