I'm curious about how advanced is the AI in this. Hl and just about everything else claims to have enemies with insane AI but they always seem to be stupid and just stand there taking my bullets while I strafe around them. The best I ever saw was the grunts from half life since they ran away, shot at you from long distance and forced you out of hiding with grenades. Their pretty easy to kill even on hard though.I agree HL is still the most realistic Ive seen in a SCI-FI game anyway.
The origional Half Life did actually have a pretty decent AI that hadnt really been done prior, the Marines in the game did use some squad based tactics and could be a real bitch to kill and those 3 legged dog things would retreat too pack up with a few others then actually hunt you down. Always loved whackin crap with the crow bar in that game
I think AI is the only thing in the FPS world that hasnt been fully exploited yet ,but it seems to me that the developer would really have to put alot into level design so the player even notices anything different about the AI and that just doesnt seem like its happening these days.
Basically Im thinking that even in these games that have "SUPER DUPER AI" lol ;D hose themselves with crappy design and so the enemy guys just sort of hop around and dont do much that we havent already seen or done in the past, therefore they come off as the usuall bullet resepticle
