Well, to me, the best AI in any F.P.S game is still the original Half Life game, especially when the Black Helicopters arrive and the soldiers stars invading and destroying all evidence of the Black Mesa operations. They were wickedly good.

The efficiency and wiliness of the Marines actually freaked me out whe I played this game for the first time in 2004.

I have to say the same thing. It was one of the most scary moments in video games coming up against these guys. I actually feared pretty much every encounter at least at first before I got used to them.

TBH I won't agree with anyones sentiments about AI in this thread. Most people wouldn't know good AI if it snuck up behind them and slapped them in the face with a 20 pound wet trout. Theres a reason why Bungie made the AI so vocal in Halo CE for example, if they didn't the players wouldn't get the fact that the AI was responding to them 95% of the time. These are the playtesters too whom professionally play more games than pretty much anyone else out there so no experience doesn't make you a good pick for good AI.
