kuger, good ai is cool but they don't have to be immortal and omnipotent

Well the Player in the game could still have died in most parts, the player was crouching and hiding so that he wouldn't die. The AI is just programmed well enough that if the player does nothing they still act, unlike some games that feature your AI partners just sitting there and missing every shot until you do something. It's only a movie because the PLAYER made it one, if he had played the game then it wouldn't have seemed like a movie.

[_r.u.s.s.]

the video obviously shows that even if he "played it" he wouldn't have any problems finishing the level at all, because even if he did nothing, bots would kill everyone by themselves

and please what is a player supposed to do? not hide behind barriers before enemies? or you suggest that this is not an fps but fphs? as in (hide and seek)

Just pointing out that this kind of AI, the kind that can do without the player, is better then the AI that stands around like an idiot all the time. I think this is one of the worst games I have ever seen. But lets not forget, this is the first level of a game that is kinda all about large set battles and it's not the first game ever to be more movie then game. It's not the end of gaming nor the future....it's just one market of gaming.

On the note of ducking and hiding I have seen a lot of new FPS and Third person shooters that are all about the cover mechanic...and I hates them so much. Having cover in your game is cool, forcing the player to use it non stop or die is just stupid.



FPS games are for noobs anyway. (Joking...kinda)

like i said man, ai is cool, but they don't even die and have unlimited ammo

if something is immortal and has infinite ammo it's not much fun

[DarthHelmet86]

Very true...and I hate that too. I have never liked AI characters in my FPS games...they always ruin it one way or another.

I always figured CoD was a lowest common denomiator sort of game anyway.

[KrazeeXXL]

wut an ugly game...

and I don't deem the graphics. I can't play such bs anymore. The only way to solve problems in those games is to kill everything in a hundred ways.

Just another example of the slow(?) progressing general stultification.

Btw, good example with the calculator Aramazon. Exactly the point imo.

CoD is a very scripted game. CoD's AI is programmed to follow that script. In that mission, their script is to kill enemies and advance through the level. And they did it. IMO, this is more of an issue with the game being too linear than the whole "game devs are dumbing down society" theory.

isn't the game being too linear actually the fact that the game devs are dumbing games down
