Any chance of bot for offline being added?

[MarcuZ]

I suck at online, and i don't want to ruin other player match with my suckness, are bot gonna be a thing some day?

343 mentioned they use bots offline for some balance testing and whatnot, but in the current state you wouldent want to play prcision swat with them, so it could be possible.

I wonder where did they mention that. Do you have a source?

Yeah, if it is like vanilla marine AI, I don't wanna get capped consistently by Chips Dubbo incarnate...

On that for balance testing, I wonder what testing they mean.
Even vanilla marine AI will still need pathfinding around the map to be designed if it's to act remotely like a player.

Otherwise maybe the only testing they have is "stationary AI shoots at you without leading shots & how easy/difficult is it to avoid?" for fine-tuned weapon balancing with consistent metrics because surely they have enough people on hand to playtest against each other now & then.

if bots were added i'd be happy with just slayer and maybe ctf as i'm a old school death match fan. never really a fan of all the other modes. I think when you have too many mp modes (and the mcc being 6 games in one it fragments the playerbase and you end up spending more time staring at the matchmaking screen than playing.

That's another reason i'm hoping for bot

Doubt it’s coming, splitscreen is far more likely

[Cool Cereal]

Programming bots just seems like a whole lot more work on 343’s end. Splitscreen does require Microsoft to do quite a bit of work from what I understand so that could be why bots could be in before it.

Yet there is literally a mod that people can download RIGHT NOW in order to play splitscreen...

[Cool Cereal]

Yeah it’s a mod. That means it breaks or bypasses the approved framework that 343 must adhere to

[NinjaSynFrey]

Technically 343 has offline bots working internally but only used for testing. Theater mode in some way are just bots programmed to recreate your game sessions. But as far as official offline bots are concerned? I doubt they will add it in these games as an official feature. At most, modders will be able to create custom maps with AI. Halo Custom Edition had a ton of these and i believe some of them may work with MCC.

To be honest i can see why split screen would be nice on Xbox, but on PC... It has never been a thing

Adding bots doesn't make things better. Only time I wanted bots in a multiplayer game was in need for speed hot pursuit 2 online to put certain players to the test.

Yes but to be honest i don't know you guys but i can't find a lot of match online, i still have to see some maps from multiplayer, with bot at least we will be able all the multiplayer mode and maps

But why shouldn't it be an option when the average PC is far more technically capable of pulling it off, and it's been a series staple since the beginning? And it has been a thing - just less of a thing.
