Most annoying AI in a game

[Spaghetti]

The squad in SWAT 4. Seriously, these guys have no initiative and will only follow your orders. If you want them to set up around a room, they will take the shortest possible rout, which often involves entering said room and getting cut to ribbons. It's insane and very annoying

Oblivion.. i cant think of anythign stupider!

Programming complex AI is very difficult, so I understand why the AI in many games can appear to be quite dense. However, sometimes thay AI in Left 4 Dead 2 is ridiculous.

I saw an entire team of 3 players die due to a bot. One person was grabbed by a Smoker. The bot then tried to rescue them by shooting the Smoker. The 2 other players were grabbed by a Charger and Jockey, but the bit still focused on the Smoker (which it couldn't kill). Entire team was killed because the bot was incredibly thick. The Charger was literally 2 feet from the bot.

L4D2 Worst AI Ever!!!!!! We actually put a mod on our server that gives you 100 points for each AI no matter what.

I would also say that some of the earlier Call of Duty AIs are annoying. even though they dont get in your way, they rarely do much else besides just being there. IW and Treyarch seem to be getting better at that problem though, which is evident in WaW and MW2

EASILY L4D2.

The AI got near infinetly worse, and I don't know HOW they managed that.

Southern people have a lower average IQ than those of northern regions.

Just sticking to the facts valve, just sticking to the facts.

Left 4 Dead 2

Me:*stands in heli at end of Dark Carnival*
AI:*takes longest possible route to heli*
Me:*gets pwned by tank*

im pretty sure the AI were the same as the AI in the first version of L4D1.

What AI has annoyed you the most in a game?
I would say the NPCs in Oblivion, especially when you have to work with them on quests. They flat out murder any chance you have at being stealthy.

/thread, really. You can't get much dumber than Oblivion.

It's not Artificial Intelligence, it's Artificial Stupidity, right?

Its actually called

"Artificial Stupidity Simulator", but you can call it ASS for short.

Has to be COD MW2 for me simply because I had several bad experiences today when my comrades namely Meat (who gets taken down for a reason) and even McTavish for standing his big meaty arse in a doorway whilst I'm being had quite roughly from behind.

Ummmmm how about....
"HEY. LISTEN!"

Probably Sheva not acting like a friend playing with you and instead acting like a griefing 13 year old trying to make you miserable.

yes but it is a lot rarer than in previous CoD games. happened in CoD 3 all the damn time

Anything in which death of your AI companion = game over.

Why? JUST WHY?

The only game that's ever done a decent escort mission is Crysis.

the AI in RTSs. they always know your exact location of everything.

Lol this is true. It certainly isn't the worst but nothing else comes to mind right now. Soap was in my way all day so it was fresh in my mind x
