I really hated this. In CoD4 there was a point where I decided to mid-range snipe everyone and cover my AI team-mates during the enemy assault. Little did I know that if I never pushed the enemy backward that they would have an infinite supply of troops. I must have been sniping for about 20 minutes before I ran out of all my bullets and decided to trudge forward with my knife. I went to a building across the street, which was also toward the enemy, and cleared it out so I could resume sniping from a new position. Soon as I did that, the enemies stopped spawning from where near I now was and were now spawning from somewhere further up the road.Avenger305 said:

Ahh, I see. But that's fewer bullets for you while you're running into their lines so your invincible NPC allies can walk in there, stumble a few times, and then shoot them all while you hide in a hole regenerating health.HUBILUB said:Oh yeah, I forgot about that :O It doesn't matter how shit it is, if I manage to run through the enemy lines, THEY can too. If I do the stupid thing of running up to the enemy, soon enough they will too.Evil the White said:Really? I've had the problem of where they will only shoot at me.HUBILUB said:I vote for CoD 5
"You know an enemy is standing right beside you?"
"Meh, He doesn't bother me"
Or maybe:
*Stabs guy in the chest*
*guys friends continue to shoot at the guys 30 feet behind me*
*stab guys firends*
They do the amazing immersion element of having squadmates die as you watch them run into a machine gun five feet in front of them, and then kind of ruin it all by 1) letting the player kill them by stabbing just to the right of their head and 2) having all the AI aim for you once most of the cannon fodder is dead. Which they normally are by the climactic level finalle.
Mind it is fun if you manage to time a run into the enemy lines right so all your squadmates follow you in and do most of the work for you.
And the part where they don't shoot at me was when I played co-op. But the guy was still 30 feet away.
Someone praised the A.I. for CoD5 in a review somewhere. Can't remember who though..Evil the White said:Ahh, I see.

But what possibly annoys me more than the poor targeting system is when your allies PUSH YOU OUT OF COVER. Each NPC has a specific place to go at each stage and if you are already there, then they will push you into the fire lane. Or worse, they will wait untill you move out to take some shots and then take your place so you get left in the open to die. It's not even like you can 'bump' them into the open so you can take cover behind them because, although they can bump you, you can't bump them.
