Do Halo Infinite bots humiliate rivals? 343i explains what’s behind the AI ​​teabag

In recent days these humiliations to rivals had been made viral, but everything had a logical explanation.

In recent days on social networks, videos have been made quite viral where Halo Infinite bots were seen humiliating their human victims, what is popularly known in the Xbox action-shooter saga and other similar ones as tea bagging . Now, 343 Industries has wanted to pronounce on these complaints, completely ruling out that the FPS AI is reproducing these behaviors.

We want the player to feel good about himself making mistakes against bots343i“Halo Infinite bots are, above all else, to assist players in their multiplayer learning and experience . We want the player to feel good about themselves making mistakes against bots, because making mistakes means that you are working on improvements skills that you still do not control, “said a company spokesman in statements collected by Eurogamer. “We do not want to punish those who seek to learn, much less make bots engage in behaviors that can be seen as exclusive. Therefore, there is no programming that encourages bots to ridicule you in any way.”

But what about the videos that show otherwise? According to the team in charge, we are only facing an error not related to tea bagging . Specifically, it is a bug present in the preliminary version of the shooter that prevented the bots from jumping and successfully climbing up the stairs or ramps, playing the animation in a loop. “Actually, the bot was just trying to climb the stairs, ” 343i concludes.
