Over the past year playing with L4D1 I grew accustomed to the AI not using grenades and having fairly poor pathing in CUSTOM maps and, perhaps, being a few seconds slower to react to specials than a decent human player, But these AI in l4d2.. Oh these guys are fucking MORONS!
I can barely remember half the times they've UTTERLY failed me because I usually go into a BLIND RAGE when it happens!!
Here's several examples I CAN remember:
-I was guarding the "pouring area"(or whatever) in the motel scavenger level with AI coach while my team mates fetched fuel cans. Seconds later I was STRANGLED to death by a smoker while Coach was standing idle TWO FUCKING FEET AWAY!! That pretty much cost my team that round since they tried to come back and were promptly incapped by some other SI.
-Remember that part in the sugar mill right before the elevator in high water (or hard rain) with the big hole in the middle of the room? ALL the AI Surivors fell (dangling from the edge) into that hole trying to follow me to the opposite side. I was playing single player so, of course, a smoker grabbed me and the game was over!
-COUNTLESS times of them standing in fire/spitter goo and getting incapped leading ANOTHER AI survivor to IMMEDIATELY try to help becomming incapped as well in the process reducing a good chunk of my team to temporary 'red' health.
-COUNTLESS times when they've stolen my favourite (or upgraded) weapon because I needed to drop it for some reason or I was 'dead' with a buddy on the way with a defib to revive
This is without mentioning the fact that the survivor AI NOW doesn't do that teleport thing they did in L4D1, so if they fall off something that took FOREVER to climb, they have to walk ALL the goddamned way back and will likely get pounced or something causing the OTHER AI to run back...
Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but its friendly AI is pretty horrid; even compared to its predecessor!
EDIT: Grammar'd
