L4D: AI genrally just being incompetent. Letting me die to Hunters, getting in my way when I try to shoot. Sometimes acting like lemmings with a death wish and running into the Tank.
It's a good thing the multiplayer is rock solid.

It's really bad when people A.I jumps in front of you and if you kill them it is game over.
I think CoD2 had this, something about me being a traitor every time they are thick enough to run in front of my bullets.
Was worse when they decided to run and dive on your 'nades.

In CoD4 and CoD6 I've had problems with the AI. They seem to love running in front of my bullets while I'm firing, which means I end up killing more than a few of my less-important squadmates, or get the 'friendly fire will not be tolerated!' end game. And I'm almost certain that friendly AI kept shooting me in the back in CoD6 in the Loose Ends mission, guarding the data disk. I can't explain how else I kept dying when I'd already killed the enemy.
In Fallout I and II, you should never give your allies weapons with burst fire capacity. They have absolutely no qualms about shooting you repeatedly in the back while fighting a regular mantis.
Also, if they accidentally shoot a friendly unit in a battle, they decide that it's now an enemy. This has even led to a massacre of a cow herd I was hired to protect with them.
For some reason, whenever I get guards after me in Oblivion, the whole city collapses into an all out battle royale that won't end until there is only one bloody survivor left.
When three or more flamethrower soldiers in C&C attack a target, the first ones stop to fire and the rest run into their flames, blowing up everyone.
Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress don't understand being on fire, proceeding to sleep in their wooden beds and drink their flammable booze. Often a fortress can die from dwarves getting dressed in burning clothing of dwarves that have already burnt to death.

Faux (I think I got the spelling right) from Fallout 3. So what, I shot you in the face, I thought you was a super mutant.... a bad super mutant.
Brother's in Arms: Hell's Highway has awful AI partners, I'd order them to get behind something and they wouldn't take the logical route that has cover, oh no, they'd run IN FRONT OF the cover where they were easily killed. Let me tell you that when your AI partners die in that game you may as well consider yourself dead.
I also found the friendly AI in saints row 2 to be annoying, there was so many times in that game where there would be tonnes of useful enemy weaponry and they would pick the rpg and would end up blowing up themselves and me by either trying to shoot an enemy at point blank or by trying to shoot from cover.C117 said:
MW2, fair enough the game would be pointless if the AI could get by without you but its a bit stupid when pvt ramirez (a private i believe) has to kill 90% of the russians cause your squad mates (mostly higher ranked than you) can't shoot shit and frquently allow you to get flanked, or shout "i'll cover you" then run in the opposite direction or are facing the wrong way or counting the bricks in the wall.
I recall one of the funniest gaming moments I've ever had was when I tried chucking a smoke grenade (to indicate an Air strike) only to have a teammate literally throw it back at me, then after grasping what had just happened running as fast as the game would allow out sight and later shooting the bastard.Windknight said:
It also happens frequently where an AI, generally NPCs will trap me in an area and I wouldn't even be able to die. The most often I'd imagine AI friendlys hindering your progress is when they are it. IE: Hostages, VIPs and the like.
I think, for the most part, WWII shooters have shocking AI. The worse for this was probably the older Call of Duty games.
The AI in Saint's Row 2 was incredibly frustrating at times as well.
Sometimes I wonder whether I'd just be better off without them...

True, but I left him in my home at Megaton, I was in the Deathcla Cave trying to get the bobblehead quietly, he comes bolting at me, forcing me to shoot in fear. Needless to say, epic battle ensued.wouldyoukindly99 said:It's Fawkes, and how can you shoot him?!DrunkWithPower said:
