Anyway, I came up with this idea while reading a thread on customizable weapons. You should check it out, it is an interesting read.

It would never work:
1. Firefight is why we don't have forgeable A.I. you could make your own FF maps but it's not included in ODST plus it wouldn't be very fun when playing as a Spartan.

2. It would make the games you play with a lot of people very laggy and unenjoyable with your friends.

that would be cool but people should be able to build to make more landscaping elements to like terrain changing water, mountains, rocks and such also be able to choose what kind of guns the enemy gets to hold and how powerful it is, plus people should get a decay option so they have a wall and can decay it so it gets more broken down and looks cool

and they could make ai like in bond nightfire that game had great ai with lots of opitions

1. I am not proposing complex AIs. My idea shouldnt have any need of increadibly complex programming that would make in near impossible. Also, that is your opinion, not fact in any way, shape, or form.

2. You are not a programmer, and neither am I for that matter, so neither of us can make that claim. But by my logic (using the information that I have at this time) it shouldnt make it any much laggier than a bunch of dead bodies and a fuelrod cannon or two. It doesnt have to be in MM.

Iv played that game, and it wouldnt work like that. You have to remeber that AIs that would be put in player made maps would have to do very little thinking of their own, and instead have to follow a set of instructions set up through the player.

I think thats an amazing idea. I dont know what else i could ask for. That would be really really cool. As long as Bungie found a way to combat the lag

You dont know that it would be too laggy. Just because I suggest it, doesnt mean Bungie would implament it just like this. And if it doesnt work then Bungie wouldnt include it.

Not just that, you discredited yourself in your own statement

we have firefight


Since we are able to have so much together in fire fight, why wouldnt Bungie be able to work this in?

God i love timesplitters 3.

Thanks for your posts. If anyone has any additional ideas, I would be glad to hear them.

  • 08.04.2009 2:07 PM PDT

If they said bots were impossible to implement, then how would "custom" bots be any better?

  • 08.04.2009 2:35 PM PDT

Because they are not Bots in the way you are thinking of them. Bungie stated that Bots would be impossible because you can not have an AI that would think for itself in a player-made environment.

However, these AIs I am suggesting do not have to think for themselves. Players set the everything from the path movement of the AIs to when they attack. The bots dont have to think for themselves and therefore it is possible.

I accidentally put no because I thought you were just talking about like armor color and suit and what not.

Your idea is awesome. Sorry for not reading it.

  • 08.04.2009 5:45 PM PDT

Its ok and thanks for posting your support

Righteo, i think this idea would have it's ups and downs:
Ups:
- It would make awesome battles
- You could like make a crazy kinda person to add effect for a game
Downs:
-Lag
-Too Many Mass Battles Maps
and saying this i had an idea for a map with this enemies idea, a ship like high up e.g Sandbox(the bit were you die when you fall) and just a huge battle goin' on below (:

I wish people would stop voting "no" because of the "lag". Obviously if it was too laggy Bungie WOULD NOT HAVE IT IN THE GAME. You are not a programmer, so you can not make this claim of "lag".

Also ... more maps = good. Bungie wouldnt make maps specifically designed maps for these "battles" at the expense of other maps. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Death to rank junkies.

I support this idea 110%

Once again, these are NOT bots. They most likely would NOT be in matchmaking. And it at WORST would IMPROVE Halo gameplay in one way, shape or, form.

And so what if Bungie went further and somehow made bots in-game ... that would be great. More customization/options = better no matter what.

Excellant idea...I support this idea, but, sadly, I don't think it is going to happen.

  • 08.07.2009 1:26 PM PDT

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Interesting for firefight. Not for matchmaking though.

4 europeans, an american and a japanese person in a game


I was totally expecting a joke out of that.

Let's just cut out the middle man and make Halo Gmod.
