The series in general is pretty notorious. I single-handedly won the war on Hoth in the sequel. Sure I had to park an AT-AT at the gates and just blast away, but I won.Xandus117 said:
Useless is not the same as bad.
You could have the best AI ever, but if the pathfinding is fucked, a simple " if > then" script would be better than the waste of time it replaces.
Bad AI.. first show me some good, intelligent AI. Until then about 95% of all games will fall in to this category.

Battlefront.
I actually thought that Oblivion and Left 4 Dead had great AI.
You can't really have all of the The Elder Scrolls games combined as one option. Oblivion - for example - had more advanced AI than all of the previous games.

I'm going with "Other". Just came off SWAT 4.
I'm trying to set up a multiple room entry with one team going through one door, and the second team going through another...except, when I ordered Team 2 to set up at a door, they entered the room as it was quicker to cross the room itself then walk around.
Team 2 was cut to ribbons
Team 1 was killed as they were determined no to move from the now open doorway
The hostage was shot in the crossfire
Then I died trying to restore some order.
All because the AI was unwilling to take the longer, safer route.

The AI in Call of Duty 2 and 3 (and I'd imagine in the previous games, though I never played them). They rarely hit anything, but perhaps more frustrating is the fact that they always wait on you before they advance anywhere. This fits the definition of 'useless' pretty well. If you just sit behind cover and wait, they will just stay where they are, dying frequently and occasionally killing an enemy. If they succeed in killing all the enemies, they'll just sit there some more. They're there to make the game feel bigger, more like a real war, but this behavior may actually make it feel smaller, since you have to do all the fighting.
I also think that Halo 2's friendly AI can't be the most useless, because it's not even the most useless in the series. I actually think it's the most useful in the series, because they actually have weapons that they can use effectively, and fight enemies that they can fight effectively.
Now, Halo CE... THAT has useless AI, because no matter how they fight, they are usually equipped with a weapon that is only effective at spitting distance and does very little damage to the Covenant. When they finally fight an enemy that will actually die when they shoot it, it's an enemy that often kills them in one hit.

Mercs 2 friendly AI is fucking retarded. I once spent an entire minute waiting for a guy to get into my helicopter. He kept running back and forth and then around the chopper, but WOULDN'T GET IN!
Edit: Come to think of it, the enemy AI is pretty thick as well, but can be uncannily intelligent. It's odd that enemies who stand out in the open firing at you (and missing) and think that the best tactic when in a jeep is to drive into your tank repeatedly can hit a speeding helicopter with an artillery tank.

The Storm troopers in Jedi Knight 2 Jedi Outcast
I've seen them run right at me, shoot, and turn around running for their lives. *SWING* lightsaber fixes idiot AI

I like the L4D2 AI. Playing 2 player co op, both me and my friend were almost incapped and nearly dead, as was coach, with a still-healthy tank standing a few feet away. Rochelle owns the 5 zombies and the tank, and manages to save all three of us. Then again, the daring bot rescue is tough evidence otherwise.
I'm sure there's much worse, but what sticks in my mind is the npcs from original Half-Life.
