The Killzone series has some incredibly nasty enemy AI. Grenade spam, using cover, and running from my bullets!? HOW DARE THEY?!
Dark Souls has some pretty challenging stuff as well, though towards the end they're easy to predict. But, at first and for a long while, they can really get you...
Shogun total war 2
Rainbow Six Vegas 2
Deus ex :Human Revolutions
In rainbow six vegas 2 , enemies move about patroll search and destroy etc
those in Deus ex do the same BUT they also respond to noise and shoot you out of air vents hahaha

I agree about Rage, I was actually impressed more by the rolling and evasion the mutants had in that game.Smeggs said:
Never had that happen to me with DX:HR, I have seen guys who can see me, standing right in front of the air vent while I'm 5 feet deep get the cover on it confuses them greatly.

This is FOXHOUND, we're talking about.
Hardly the brightest bulbs of the batch.
I'm going to use my go-to answer for everything on this and say Final Fantasy Tactics. They were generally fairly creative in flanking, combining attacks, and just general guile. Try getting your armor busted as a lancer is about to land on you and tell me that isn't a 'clever girl' ai

Veteran bots use hacks... seriously, look at one of your killcams, you'll see the bot aiming at you through whatever wall or such is between you and the bot and open fire a millisecond after it's seen you. It isn't fairbrainslurper said:
I think the AI in Rage was pretty good; it made you feel like you were actually fighting against mutants and mercenaries and not brain dead bots.
The enemies in El Shaddai were pretty challenging, too; if you didn't learn their attack patterns, they could easily guard, counter, and parry your attacks and making you die rather quickly.

Hey, at least they didn't unquestioningly keep waking up their unconscious comrades as they were being repeatedly tranquilised.GiantRaven said:
My pick(s) go to Left 4 Dead (2) and Mech Commander 2.
Know, I will openly admit that the survivors and special infected sometimes turn into "bumbling idiots". I can recount many a time when a survivor bot left me to die with a hunter to go kill a jockey. However, when you see everything the AI engine does (from the AI director down to an individual common infected)and how many factors it has to account for at any given second, it's amazing it works at all, let alone in real time. Even on low end processors. Watching it's innerworkings in action while a game is being played is extremely impressive.
As for Mech Commander, it had some of the best AI I've seen to date in an RTS. Enemy units would actually utilize the terrain. They'd flank you, hide units in the underbrush, move fire-support units to the high ground, concentrate fire on the weakest link in your squad, bait you into ambushes, even rush your team to split them up. To win any encounter in that game on the harder difficulty settings required a lot of tactical thinking and micro-managing finesse.
It's funny. Valve actually programmed a hell of an intelligent AI engine for Half-Life 2. It was designed to have enemy forces use cover, flank their targets, pull back if out-numbered, and rebuff troubled teammates by moving units to reinforce that squad or lay down suppressive fire. It worked best in large scale combat scenarios.
Unfortunately, much of Half-Life 2's combat encounters were anything but. This led to the AI seeming to be "dumb" as they could never effectively do what they were designed to do. It's the biggest design flaw in the game. Which is a shame. Seeing it in motion is pretty impressive. (considering it came out in 2004)
