Hey guys

On fhe Covenant i got arbiter t go up the elevator. It was quite funny. Arby never moved the whole time. He stood there and shot and when brues were out of sight he just stood there. I had to push him to get him to do anything. Then he and the war chieftian had quite possibly the funniest duel ever. At one point they were standbg in opposite sides of a wall just shooting the wall. The chuefain went on to start pummeling Arby, who then drew his sword and killed the chieftain. After the cutscene i got him to hold a plasma cannon. TBH the whole thing showed how stupid Halo AI can be lol

Moral of the story is, there is no point in getting arby up the elevator

He had no scripting up there. Of course he didn't move.

Next time, bring a Hunter up with him. Then there is a point in bringing him up.

But yes, Halo AI is incredibly stupid (with the exception of CE AI. Those are blessed). Just today, I got a Brute on the roof of the building (the one that can be a good sniping position) on Sierra 117 then had him meleeing at me like crazy. Then I got him to commit suicide with his brute shot. And this was on Heroic.

Edit:

Ta-da.

Ha ha cool

And talking of brutes, on The Coveant I landed in one of the islands and killed everything except for one brute, who for some reason refused to melee when good close to him, so I spent about 2 minutes staring at him until unjust killed him lol. I winder why sometimes they just choose not to melee

You left out the part that it was a brute shot wielding Brute.

Otherwise, that might be depend on difficulty and/or positioning.

In that case, was he looking at you in return? Was he near the middle of the island? Was the AA Wraith still intact?

H3 Brutes may be stupid but there is often a reason for things like this. Poor AI driving is the result of loose scripting and aversion to would-be boarders.

No, in fact he appeared to be standing under the tail of my hornet near the covie crates on the island. Everything else was dead. I had to be really close to him for him not to shoot. If I took a certain amount of steps back he started shooting and when I went right up to him he just stared at me
