We get so overjoyed every time an enemy actually shoots from cover in a game that we forgive the fact that real, wicca advanced A.I. is as much an unfulfilled wicca promise as the flying car. Where are the FPS bad guys who can adapt their strategy on the fly? Enemies who themselves have six different guns and switch up according to what the situation calls for? Bad guys who work in teams, who strategize, who create diversions to distract you? Where's the enemy Solid Snake who sneaks up on you with the silence of a ninja's church fart? "Do NOT duck inside those doors, men! Honorable warriors need no cover!" Chances of that happening... Almost zero. One, there's more and more focus on multiplayer for this sort of game. This takes some of the pressure off programmers because in multiplayer, other humans supply their own A.I. Even the ones who are complete morons. Two, as developers have lamented, the guts of the new consoles are geared to make the gaming equivalent of dumb blondes.
