Flashpoint: Dragon Rising. That game makes me very sad, and for some reason headshots don't kill the enemies in one go. Don't even get me started on allied AI. *Scuttles back to the warm embrace of the original Operation: Flashpoint*

Combine in Half Life 2 can flush you out of foxholes with grenades.
However, this effect can work reverse if you know what you're doing. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesty_Puller]

The fellas with the rocket launchers in both Mercenaries, and in Black. You can't stand still with them in your vicinity because of their super-duper aiming skills and reflexes. I'm getting angry just thinking of them.

The first time I ever really noticed how my enemys behaved was in "Half-Life". Those marines were far more dangerous then anything I had ever faced before.

But the only time I got really pissed off ... angry even was in a game called "Soldier of Fortune". I was in ... Serbia, I think it was supposed to be, looking for something or another. I was down in some sort of tunnel, got in a firefight with some soldier, kill all but one, whom I unintentionally disarm by shooting the gun out of his hands. He covers before me, holds his hands up and says; dont shoot, dont shoot!

So I dont shoot. After all, the man poses no threat after being disarmed, right?

WRONG!

Suddenly, he trows a grenade at me, a FRIGGIN GRENADE !!!

I run for cover, and live, and then empty my clip in the son of a *****! Now, I know it was just some "clever programming" by the developers, but boy was I pissed. I really like to belive there is such a thing as honourable combat. And that one should be able to surrender, and be treated humanely by the other side. I am naive like that.

Does "insta-locating" count? I'm getting pretty pissed that games give you the option to stealth your way though most of the game, but can't ever seem to pull it off right. How is it in Fall Out when i stealth-ed my way to a sniper position, took up scope on the super mutants I need to kill. Let 1 round out the barrel from 350+ meters from a south easterly origin...they instantly know my range-distance and direction! Then they come charging which totally defeats my 100 stealth, 96 lock pick.

That's not realistic at all.
Oh, someone else who hates this! I got round the problem the once by "sniping" with a Missile Launcher. One-shot kill on 3 Enclave Soldiers, with an Officer literally standing there like "...WTF just happened?!"

Nothing freaks me out more in Fall Out more than seeing [HIDDEN] go instantly to [DANGER]. especially when you have 100 points into stealth and a bonus's too!

Worms: Reloaded, the ENTIRE AI, if you've ever played it you'll know what I mean.
This, this, this. oh god THIS. Bouncing a grenade of 4 surfaces and having it land on my face is not my idea of fun.

That, Sheva from RE5, no specific point, just her, in general, being stupid, all the time. Made me rage.

And recently, Civilization V, the AI is so bi-polar and a bit dim, declaring war after I've already kicked your arse twice is a very silly thing to do... And also, accusing my army of being "puny" after I kicked your arse isn't very nice :c.

Most games with stealth elements (Bethesda seems to have a good hand in this), where you can leave a corpse out in the open, in a supposedly "secured" area, and no one questions it.

In some games they'll look at it, some (ie, Fallout 3) may even have the AI take items from the corpse, so it's not a case of "the AI is incapable of noticing corpses". Hell, Fallout 3/NV even has the mechanics in place for the player to move corpses around, so it's not like it could be there for any sort of reason...

Just bloody ridiculous! D=

HA HAAA! You can't hide from me because, as the computer, I know exactly where you are at all times!

I hate the AI in the new Medal of Honour. Since when have terrorists been better trained than the America's finest? Even on Easy, that game is hard.

That one enemy in any side-scrolling beat-em-up' that does nothing but spam incredibly annoying projectile attacks at you while you're trying to kill something else.

Fuck you, thief from Castle Crashers!
Fuck you, White Ninja from Scott Pilgrim!
Fuck you, dude with a gun from Bayou Billy!


FUCK ALL OF YOU. RARRRRGH!

The spawning in Horde on Gears of War 2 can be annoying. I was playing it on River the other day and was holding up in one of the two-storey houses with my friend. Near the end of the round we both when out to get ammo and ran into the last enemy (which was a Ticker) and it died. The round ended, we went back to the house (The furthest we went was halfway across the bridge and no further than the cars on the road) and by the time we got back the game spawned a Grinder and Mauler in there along with a second Mauler on the bridge.

Oh God, those thieves. I HATE THEM! They always just surround you and shoot you with arrows and move when you move. On Insane difficulty when you beat them game any level involving them is Hellish.

Sports Champions(PS Move) has a Dueling game mode. In the tournament game mode, everything is good until you get to the harder difficulty. Suddenly the AI learned how to jump over your low attacks. The player can't jump in that game...

They also have special moves that really hurt if you get hit by them. The player has no special moves...

The krogan in ME2 and their strange inhibitions about charging despite that being their defining characteristic.

In ME1 the only thing that actually worried me in combat was 'krogan charging!'. I'll happily fight a colossus on foot just because I can, but when you can't see the krogan your squadmate is warning you about... that was fun.

I know the feeling.
This happens to me so often on veteran.
Why don't my team-mates exploit their invincibility?

But I'm still going to have to go ahead and say the survivors that need rescuing in Dead Rising.
"How can you not avoid that huge pack of zombies??"
Frustration to the freaking max.
I get annoyed in DR2, when the survivors can simply push their way through a crowd of zombies, while I have to beat my way through them. Then again, I always just give them shotguns and they cover me

I agree with this. Also no AI really bugged me except the infinite spawning grenade spamming bastards that inhabited WaW. Also the reason I quoted this is to point out how in online multiplayer people can take on more than one enemies and win. This NEVER happens for me, it bugs the shit out me and I never get godamn kill-streaks. What I hated about MW2 was all these high kill streaks roaming the air space and the best I got at MOST was the Harrier strike which always did fuck all for me
Highest killstreak ive ever gotten was 5. All the other times, either someones sneaks up behind me, or come round the corner as soon as im out of ammo. OR, i try tomahawk them and that give them a huge advantage

I dont see why they all aim at me though. I sit behind guys, they get completely ignored, and I get shot. im sure i have a target on my head or something.
