Yeah, FarCry came before HL2, and it had much better graphics and AI. In fact, if memory serves me well, its AI is probably better than most of the FPS titles that are released these days.

There's a reason for that. They made the AI too good to the point it was unrealistically good and too... artificial. Enemies had ridiculous visual perception and could sometimes see you before they'd even been rendered on screen. Other than that, they didn't really do anything too impressive. The original F.E.A.R is probably a better example of decent AI as they had very good pathfinding and would actively flank instead of relying on robotic sensory perception.


Hehe, I actually quite enjoyed that FarCry's AI, I used to periodicly play it on hardest for years (remember how you couldn't hide in bushes on that setting, they were actively shooting at random near your last visible location to flush you out), and was quite dissapointed when Crysis on hardest turned out to be easier than Normal in FarCry. But, yeah, I agree, FEAR had really decent AI, not the best game, but still enjoyed it.
