Subject: AI where the enemy cares about their life If dey gonna die.

I don't know about you guys, but I think the enemies in this game are a little too open for fire. Except the active camo people and da FloOd( da flood don't care though.). I find that enemies do not care about death and should be more careful wit their descisionZ. Just to make the game a little harda.

The AI is terrible. On legendary it takes 4 plasma rifle shots to get killed so theoretically the enemy should just realise that and attack you instead of hiding badly waiting to get taken out 1 by 1.

Making them smarter would make it alot harder but then you just tone down their plasma power and the game becomes more actively fun. They shouldn't just wait until you're ready.

He is correct with his observations. Soldiers are trained to present the most minimal profile as possible when in defensive positions. Those in the Halo universe seem to run around without any particular regard for cover hoping to get a better shot.

You also don't see them moving in fireteams, it would work quite well against grunts and jackals though the inclusion of Elite shielding would likely have messed up that particular tactic.

thank you. the AI is bad in that way 2. I was just thinking a little more in enemy numbers. (speakN to Smash)

Halo 3 should include the invention of a cheaper portable shield that your fellow soldiers can use. Balance the fight with the elite who have too much of an advantage.

i can see where your coming from despite how much i hate the way you talk. the ai should be a little more conscience of their own lives, but at the same time remember that they are religious zealots. beings powered by faith see nothing wrong with a glorious death in combat.

you forget that this is the covenant we are talking about, the elites run in head long into battle, grunts are sissies and jackals are wel..dudes they just chill withthier sniper rifle and go "wat up dawg?" to the nearby grunt.

  • 06.18.2006 10:25 AM PDT

if you read the books it explains this,

the elites want the honor of being first into battle even if they pay for it with their lives

the grunts are killed if they retreat (yes, they do it anyway)

the jackals dont belive in this war but fight anyway

the hunters are peaceful but will defend the elites and thier bond brother(hence the hunter pairs) to the best of their ability. they just want to finish the war and return to peace

the brutes/drones feelings on this war or war in general are never really explained


it's kind of ironic that the bad@sses of the covie army want peace isnt it?

i don't think everyone read the books though

Arn't the books supposed to not be very connected with the game though. So the books don't really matter. I'm sure the books have some amazing fightscenes with hundreds of covies and the master chief has some extra spatan help. You won't see that sort of stuff in the game.

Not only should AI improve, their accuracy should too! On all difficulties!
