Sadly adding in NPC's is only for single player use. Competitive MP cant have AI in it... Sucks.
Not competitive, but I was dreaming of making and downloading fun coop maps and was quite disappointed. At least that disappointment is covered by great new features like caves, waterfalls, NPCs, custom lights and an incredible amount of detail-props.

The game is overall great though. GOTY candidate.
Haven't touched multiplayer yet, but the story-telling is a huge surprise with very believable characters and intimidating villains. Vaas is (imo) even on one level with the Joker.
hopefully this could show 343i that they can add AI in Halo 5 Forge
Game-development knows no bounds. Everything is possible. It's only the question if the effort (in the end bare money) is worth it.

And a self-programming AI that can read every map (where walk-spaces are, where cover is possible, how to overcome obstacles the easiest way) is an incredible amount of effort. It's a freaking wonder that FarCry barely needs 5 seconds to generate that without any effort from the player.

I love how FarCry stomps Halo forge into the ground and overall shows the AAA titles what is possible with some heart and soul into a project.
The self programming AI is in both L4Ds so I really don't think it is hard for Halo AI to be upgraded to that of FarCry 3 especially since Halo 4 is a major money gain so money shouldn't be as big as an issue it would've been for Ubisoft.

it's really good, while both games are very good, IMO i don't think it relates to Just Cause 2 that much. One being that Far Cry 3 is a FPS while Just Cause 2 is a TPS.

it is good, atleast rent it or borrow it from a friend and see if you like it

It depends on the engine really. For some it's easy to implement, for others an incredible effort.

And as far as my knowledge of the Source Engine goes, you have to place a lot of manual "helping points" for the AI to work properly there. Not all that automatic.
