I have never once seen an A.I. crash into a wall repeatedly or drive off a cliff (unless pushed or tricked). There are a few improvements that could be made, but you could say that about anything.

A.I. driving is definitely something that needs to be improved upon. After just finishing the campaign, I noticed the A.I considerably getting "stuck" and moving back and forth in an open area, not really sure where to go. Sometimes just stopped altogether.

i have seen this mulitple times however the a.i's are really good passenger gunners give them a sniper or a millse launcher and they almost never miss so if anything just drive your self and watch the chaos begein

yeah they are very good gunners as on the mission "the storm" they put the scarab on its knees

they sucked as tank drivers. in The Ark in H3, they'd fire at a Wraith a hundred yards away, but not dodge the mortars hitting it. Very saddening.

Maybe a bit of defensive driving would suffice.

"If revenge is sweet, and revenge is a dish best served cold... is revenge ice cream?"

... I'm not sure how Bungie had their AI navigate the game space, but i know in the Unreal Engine that characters on foot have different paths than those in vehicles.

The UT3 way of adding nodes for characters to navigate between seems to work well.

As said, I don't know how the A.I. works in Halo 3, but getting the game to turn into a rail shooter would be great for when the player wants the gunners seat.

This could be done by getting the A.I. to follow particular tracks that are safe, but have a view of the bad guys. This is also a nice way to control the action, as you can take the player to and from the action. Just think the A.I. Driver as a tour guide. A guide who needs a little protection.

The main problem for this would be getting the challenge right. It all seemed to work right in Halo 2 for the earth sections... so I'm sure Bungie knows what's wrong and how to fix it... I hope.

why are you looking at this?

i just don't want them to drive around in circles near the enemy.

Halo 3 has better AI then Gears of war 2. The AI in Gears 2 is just told to sit in cover and shot at you and if you get to close to get up and punch you.

In halo 3 they coordinate attacks and enemies in vehicles do hit and runs.

The only thing bad about the AI in H3 is the allies driving, bungie makes the allies dumber on purpose to make the game balanced but in all honesty they go over board.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you.

-Thanks to Rocket Turtle for pointing out my typing follies.

yeah, the ai as a whole was woeful in halo 3. enemies just stand in the open waiting to be shot a lot of the time. but the driving really topped everything else. and if you take the wheel, the gunner is more concerned with shooting down nearby butterflies than the wraith that's gunning you down.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

Okay, tell me how this would be done. How do you program them better? Tell me that, and I'll back you 100%.
