You don't want the AI too smart either. Otherwise the enemies in Crysis 2 would all pick a good spot to snipe a doorway together, or hide behind the door with a shotgun while his buddies throw a grenade inside. You don't want the same KD ratio in single player as in online, or would you?

This is actually a very good point. 

Do you know why camping is so prevalent and annoying in online games?  Because its a really effective strategy. 

If programmers wanted the ai to act like players they would just have them all hide in dark corners of rooms and aim their guns at the door.  That would get annoying fast, but it would definitely be a much smarter strategy on the ai's part.  Can you imagine a game like that?

That would be the worst game ever.
