343: Halo teabagging is 'exclusionary', won't allow bots to teabag you in MP

I didn't spot Halo Infinite's bots teabagging, though - and that, 343 told me, is very much a deliberate choice.

I asked 343 if it was tempted to have the AI teabag human players they killed to make them even more human. No, is the short answer. Here's the long answer:

"Bots are primarily a part of Halo Infinite to help players learn and experiment with the multiplayer experience. We want players to feel comfortable making mistakes against bots, because making mistakes means you're improving and working on skills you haven't mastered yet.

"We never want to punish learning, especially not by having bots engage in behaviours that a player could feel is exclusionary. For that reason, we don't have explicit programming that tells the bots to teabag or taunt you in any way."

This reads like an Onion article.

how come somebody hasn't invented other animations to mock people.

 

like a button you push, and one of your hands lets go of the gun and your body kneels down and does a hand slapping animation in the face of the dead opponent. and then there's a cartoonish face-slapping sound.

they should just remove the crouch button entirely. There's no stopping teabagging if crouch functions in the game. Put crouch on a 10 second delay at least so these toxic lemmings can't commit microaggressions against F2M transfolks. not every man has a penis and testicles.
