Why the fuss about the AI?

[CombineHarvester]

Now, I do understand the gnashing off teeth - HL was a watershed in a number of departments, not least the AI. It felt, at times, like I was playing against human opponents. But of course I knew the true score......

Now one , I repeat, ONE, review says that "occasionally" the AI isn't as good as hoped... Well, we all hoped for a lot of things, but the fact of the matter is -judging by the reviews- HL2 is,at the very least, MATCHING what we hoped for over the piece. I didn't expect the AI to be a quantum leap, but decent nontheless. And so it seems. The other reviews are either favourable, or don't make a big deal one way or other, yet still say this is "possibly" the BEST (action)game ever.

For me, this is fantastic news! After all, we could have had Unreal(-Life) 2!

actually he says "occaisonally the ai fails to impress" ... which to me says that the rest of the time, the AI is impressive

Yeah, I read it that way too, and would have been as succinct if I hadn't had a few too many jars! :naughty:
