: I think 343 should use all that extra processing power to, for instance,
: remove taunt enemy corpse from warthog chaingunner AI.

: Or, in all seriousness, improve their situational awareness - don't shoot
: that crawler over there minding its own business - shoot that knight that
: has us in its sights!

: Our Spartan AI companions are like the keystone Cops.

: Who am I kidding? That's never going to change. Bungie and 343 both decided
: that the AI was good enough and spend as few resources as possible on it.

: Taunt enemy corpse is my litmus test. Every game that its left in for hog
: gunners on legendary is another game where the devs are just coasting into
: work. 343 are employing them as seat warmers.

: I see it as an attention to detail thing. The dev plays the game on legendary
: and realizes (2 seconds in) that this sucks and decides to do something
: about it.

: OTOH it feels like a manager thing and an agile thing - dev says "hey
: boss, taunt enemy corpse sucks when hogging on legendary - I'd like to fix
: it" - boss says, "put it on the backlog and I will prioritize
: it".

: dev says, "but it will only take two minutes to fix"

: boss replies, "that's not agile" ;-)

I doubt too much of the Scorpio's power will go to gameplay purely because the game will also have to be run on regular Xbox Ones. So, I think it's safe to say that we'll just be getting a higher resolution and framerate, but that doesn't mean 343i won't do some hardcore improvements to the AI in Halo 6. Considering we can go from Halo 3 to Halo 4 on the 360 means there's probably still ton of potential floating around in that Xbox One's big black brick.
