I love the Halo Franchise. I have ran Halo Servers for the 10 years. That being said here is How you can setup a server,
Number of players to start a game = 2
Number of players 48
You can have bots or not have bots your choice.
In Halo Infinite you can have bots. This is how it works. when you join a game there is 1 bot on each team. If a player joins a game a bot will be removed from the game. If a player leaves a game at bot will be added to the game. Why?... To help to make sure the teams are even. It ain't rocket science. I wrote a team balance script for Halo Infinite and it worked great!
There is no excuse why BF6 can't have the same setup when it comes to bots. No need for BOT FARMS!!!
NUFF ,,,, SAID!!! ..... PERIOD!
