Replaying Halo: CE makes me realize how little AI has evolved

I blame the multiplayer obsession. Devs embraced multiplayer because it meant they don't have to bother with writing a good AI anymore. And that's why we don't have proper single player modes in a lot of pvp centric games anymore.

This is spot on! I noticed the trend just as the last gen started and it continued for most of it. The fact that we have games that stand out is a testament to this! AI has taken a serious back seat in modern gaming.

I have to agree with that. MP played a role into that.
It is a shame. Actually the only "good" and challenging time in games with AI are when they are cheating (knows where you are etc...) and then it becomes so freaking annoying some time. I would love to see games (not only FPS but games like Dragon Age Inquisition or MGS 5 for instance) coming out with real AI (no cheating) and be really challenging in SP.
