Clearly, IGN is the mecca of bought-and-paid-for gaming journalism.
Astounding AI my ass. I'd take Kat driving me off a cliff any day of the week compared to some vibrating Spartan IV in a corner that won't fucking man the Warthog gun.

I'd imagine the cost of their data centers would increase exponentially.
That BF4 video at 1080p is 2.29 gigs, haha

Yeah lol and Halo 4 Sword Elites might be the worst AI I've seen in any Halo game.

You would think after this many Halo titles that they would have gotten the whole AI driver/gunner thing down...

The Halo 4 Banshee driving is terrible, though. :/

Halo 4 is the exception because it sucks butts, but I got the impression that Marines have always stayed a little "watered down" in the AI department so that you could still feel like a badass on your own. Go and betray the marines in Halo 3 at the start of Crow's Nest on Heroic or Legendary and just watch how quick they kill you. A lot of it's probably intentional to keep things fun for the player.

I guess you're right; I don't play other shooters enough to make a proper comparison. I'm only comparing 4's AI to past Halos, which to me is the worst in the series.

I remember Halo 1 marines having this sort of "death rush" where after taking so much damage they would shout something like "You're all gonna die!" and then run straight at the covenant, guns blazing. Of course they usually got killed doing this, but it was still cool to see.
Finishing Half-Life 1 and gonna try to play through Half-Life 2, Episode 1, and Episode 2 all today.

No Bungie video?I hope they do something.
Did 343 do something last year?
They designed Halo 4.
They forgot that April fools is only one day a year, Ordnance and all the other junk was only meant to come into play on April 1st!
Haha, from my experiments on Sword Elites, they are easily the dumbest AI yet. "Can I see the player?" "Can I reach the player?" If either of them are no, they will do nothing to change it. As soon as both of them are yes, they will charge at the player, and because the Sword applies the "don't get stunned when shot at" mechanic to all bipeds, they just charge at you like it's no big deal.
Ha! Made you play Grifball.
ProTip. Build a ceiling of Coliseum Walls to cast a full shadow over your green screen set. You will get much better colour and the character models will not look blown out.
I hoped someone would say this, never let me down bobs
String of events:
The player falls from a 4 story building and a giant concrete slab crushes his face as he hits the ground. He wakes up in pristine condition, some kind of security or police randomly comes up and the NPC tells the man to get out of there because it isn't safe, and sends him running out into the debris.
People get paid to write this stuff.

Honestly, after BF3. It's very clear that DICE just doesn't give a shit about the campaign and uses it for the sole purpose of promotional material.
No one wants a BF campaign either! So much wasted productivity.

Eh, I'll play it. BF3 campaign plot sucked but it wasn't terrible to play. They just need to hire some kind of writer.
but it looks so good and i just play dubstep over it to make it even better and it's awesome game of the year confirmed i love it everyone go buy battlefield 4
yeah but you don't dislike anything

Who here would be interested in a definitely-not-in-the-works, incredibly meta motion comic series for HaloGAF set in a "post-apocalyptic," far-flung future where NeoGAF is an RPG-styled world constantly at war?

I've come to accept that there exists only a handful of people that understand how to write for a videogame.

The only campaign this gen I stopped playing because of sheer boredom.

I dislike the movie "The Village." I also disliked BF3's plot. I also dislike coconut.
When I play war shooters I turn my brain to "dumb shooter mode" maybe that's why I was able to finish the single player. I do the same for CoD.
Seriously. I didn't give a shit about the plot but it was a linear QTE buttfest

The writers at Irrational seem to do well. Also for as simple as the Uncharted games are they have some fun stories. Last of Us looks solid too.
Were you talking about this? http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=341105

Hey she liked switches on maps so its not all that bad I guess lol
Astro 50s 50% off? And the deal actually worked? Fuck, cant belive i missed it.
Also none of them actually play video games either.
I'm going to agree with you on Irrational.
Definitely not Wahrer.
