Half Life 2 Friendly AI

Its pretty bad. Its so bad in fact that they had to make VO tracks that say, “sorry Dr. Freeman” or “excuse me Dr. Freeman” because they are always in your way! They follow you like lost puppies into dead ends like kitchens and bathrooms that are allready too small for you to fit but then have the balls to tell me “Don’t forget to reload Dr. Freeman.” I am god to them and they think I know enough to reload?

They look to you for direction even though you have no idea where you are or where to go. They have been fighting the Citadel for a week! Guide ME! They block doorways so when you need to toss a nade into a room you cant retreat. They stand out in the open and get shot, they get in your way when you are shooting at an enemy.

Just when you think you got rid of them all, more show up. “Dont leave without me Dr Freeman.” You cant even shoot them to get rid of them!

Your friends come at a time when the game should be at its peak, and this frustrating AI gets in the way of all the action and has made the game frustrating and not as much fun for me anymore. Call of Duty’s AI is great, probably the best as far as friendly AI goes. Why can’t a game that has been in development for five years have as good or better?
