Apologies if this infringes the copyright... If so please delete mods. I also searched but couldn't find.......


+ Beautifully realised world
+ Great stopryline, script and characters
+ Wonderful use of physics
+ Excellent, powerful weapons
+ Fantastic sense of pacing with huge variety of action

X No new multiplayer (yet)
X AI occasionally fails to impress

97% Quite possible the best action game ever made.

I thought AI was one of the strenghts HL 2 had

I'm sure it is but all npcs will get stuck in a corner at least once in every game.

can't be any worse than Doom 3's
dude, chill, they still gave it a 97%, obviously the AI probs weren't that bad
 
They probably mean the fact that an ant lion won't do flips or talk to his teammates or fire a gun through windows like the combine can :E

I was expecting better AI than FarCry
Click to expand...
Well, I can pretty much garantee that.
(no, I can't, but I know in my soul and my heart that AI must be better than the AI in Far cry)
 
I'm sure in HL2, if you crouch in some bushes, the combine will actually see you rather than try and run through you. :D
 
In the review it mentions that combine soldiers dont retreat or appear to do any teamwork, they just run at you until they drop.
 
The ai is nothing ground breaking but w/e you dont feel like your fighting robots so its win win in my books.

This is true :E
 
screw Farcry AI, give me some Halo AI on Legendary.
they might not do all the nifty lil tricks the fc ai does
(then again FC ai is as easy to trick as a blind old woman with explosive diarrhea)
but they tend to pan out into great frenetic battles.
 
I enjoyed the AI in Far Cry. They searched for stuff when they heard noise, tried to flank you by going to the last place they saw you....

If the AI is at least like it was in the original Half-Life, then I will be happy :), I loved that AI.

Timech
 
Heh, I wonder if combine soldiers still put grenades on the ground and blow themselves or teammates up :D

You know I do think that developers should kinda lay off the graphics department for a bit and spend some more time on developing better AI, graphics are more than acceptable as it is but NPC's are just still too stupid.

Hmm... that's odd, I got the impression from the other reviews (especially screenshot captions like the one where the reviewer points out that the combine had flanked him completely) that it was the opposite.

Yeah but PC Zone is the only magazine thats "large" and isnt full of bullshit.

still think anything above 95% is fanboy ratings but meh..
 
I can very easily see the future of gaming being a few big companies (as smaller ones cant afford it) just producing stupidly good and long games every 5/6 years. I'm not sure if i'd like that or not... better games... less games....
 
the downside said the AI OCCAISONALLY failed to impress.

does that mean it was usually impressive?

They also said at its best it was awe-inspiring and at its worst it was "merely" competent.

Sounds more like an euphemism to me - I suppose it should go "the AI at times did something stupid".
 
In other words... "OMFG! The AI is fuking great! ... except every now-and-then Alyx jumps off a building... *shrugs*"
 
Eh. No worry abotu Ai its a opinion of someone. Im sure the A.I is fine.

People aren't perfect, AI shouldn't be either :)

Exactly, if people aren't perfect... and the AI isn't perfect.... this makes the AI closer to perfect?!? :naughty:
 
I enjoyed seeing the troops in RtCW blow themselves up with the occasional badly-thrown grenade, I know that much...

screw that - give me some halo2 ai on legendary!
 
About the AI failing to impress.... Not all enemies are supposed to be smart. I'm sure it was a design decision, not a limitation or laziness on valve's part. In real life, would all your enemies be smart all the time?
