why dont we get bots in any halo, like in halo 4, since thier working on it right now, why not? or we could get it in halo reach or even halo 3 at least one of the halos should get bots, make it DLC if they need to but get bots in halo, as in bots on your team and on the enemys team, like firefight, but on a custom map and you get backup

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Because bungie's AI system can't move to different areas without their movement being around the player. They can't choose to move to places by themselves.

Bungie's AI don't work like that pal.

Before someone mentions Custom Edition, the AI in that game are very very very basic and still required a program to make, which is probably no different compared to AI now except for being better. So no ingame AI making etc.

Custom Edition AI is terrible. When they get into real combat they need to have a set of points placed on the map to allow them to attempt to take cover or follow the enemy.

I have some maps where the AI just stand around and look at you and never fight each other because the map maker didn't set the points up to make want to move to different areas. They just leisurely walk towards each other until they realise they can fight when they accidentally bump into each other.

That's why I said very very very basic. But I've made some slightly smarter AI in it. :(

The only way bots could work is if Bungie did this before launch, it's not possible now. and I doubt 343 will do it.

I mean is it really necessary?

I remember a version of Counter Strike that I played that had Bots. Before every game where you used them, they had to analyze their movement options throughout the entire map before the game could start, because that version supported custom maps and they wanted the bots to work no matter what map they were used on.
