everyone knows that the AI in halo is pretty stupid-no offense bungie.
i think that all ai characters in all of video game history have been stupid.
here are my ideas of how the characters should act and feel.

instead of always falling or getting hurt the same way. associate ragdoll with certain events.
if you slug a marine for being in your way have him have a preset amount of cuss words or insults to throw back at you. your marine that you hit should react to that spot. if they get hit in the arm thier arm should break and the other marines should attempt to drag him into the back of a building.

i want real characters that react to your stupidity and insult you with different lines each time instead of "HEY CHIEF! I'm on your side!" every time they get hit

my dream in ai is to have you looking at a marine while hes firing behind a wall and he interupts what hes doing to look at you in the face and say-what the hell are you looking at?

i want a grunt to stand and fight or maybe even jump onto your chest and start trying to rip your helmet off instead of running off arms flailing. The difficulty levels should be based around ai and sheild energy equally not just shield. on easy the enemies should be dumb idiots and on legendary have them flanking and issuing orders to like crawl up on top of barrels and throw grenades-be regular einsteins that can think like you.

games where each voice actor records like 200 different lines of dialogue for each level and the engine associate swearing with getting hurt or blasting heads off with cheering.

Halo CE > Halo 3 > Halo 2

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

Not all the AI is stupid. The Marines are slightly stupid and the Covenant are quite smart.

"You must face the truth squarely and without flinching from duty. Our enemies are mortal no longer. Mercy for such as they is a chimera, self-deception is its only ally. Dedicate this weapon, given unto your hand at the behest of the Emperor, to their destruction. Regard its function as your only duty: you live only to bring cleansing fire."

i never let an AI drive my vehicle... unless i feel like going off a cliff or being picked up by a damn enforcer

other than that, i wish the marines wouldnt rush into combat, along with the elites. how smart do you have to be to know not to run into a gold elite holding a sword when all you have is an smg and two other ideots behind you.

the elites are smarter though, or maybe just luckier cause they jump further out of the way and they can hold any weapon AND they have over sheilds so they can last through an entire map

Not the elites. Shoot....sidestep....shoot....sidestep, Wash Rinse Repeat.

Now that we have Max in charge of AI, Halo 3's AI will be much better than H2. I just can't wait until we can have AI that is as real as a human player. And for all those people who want bots in MP, it's a horrible idea. Look how bad the AI is now, and picture them in MP. It would be boring as you just look for it, and it will have no strategy, so keep it out of halo 3.
