Combine AI UNDERSTOOD!!!!

I'd like to also add that combine soldiers work better in secluded areas filled with props, etc. is because they use cover when reloading.

The soldiers are also easy to defeat because they fire in bursts. Imagine if all the soldiers would shoot at you non-stop...

I also stumbled upon a certain thing when mapping. Combine soldiers can be divided into squads. Squads share info on enemies, attack in turns, i.e. work as a group. I say AI is there, all it requires is a good coder to bring it up.

Ya, I was looking at the code; they are squadified. Quite fun.

They tend to run towards an enemy. Or in case of the medics run up to my face while I'm shooting to give me a medpack. If I tell them to stay they will only stay put temporarily before losing attention and following me or going in front of me.

If you press C on the ground, they're put there temporarily. Strange, but when I press C on a person he stays there, until I recall him.

In the leak's "Hazard Course" (training level) you could control your squad in every way. I don't understand what happened to that? Like I said, the AI is great, but it's coded wrong.

Do you recall them only after you move a few feet or a few seconds?

Like I said they stay, but only for about a minute before coming for me.

Maybe I might have a bug of some sort. I have to block their way with the gravity gun to prevent harm to them.

But since most of Anti-Citizen One and Follow Freeman took place in big open fields trying that would be useless.
