tbh i never had too bad an experience with halo 3. for all the accidents it made, there are plenty of places where i could forgive it
all time worst would have to be Medal of Honor: Frontline. Every NPC that was important to level progression would get stuck on something. bloody useless.
also, DOA 4, as in, sometimes, your only reason for victory after half an hour of pummeling the final boss is because your 360 has gotten bored of the whole thing and let you win. It more of a punishment for wanting to enjoy ones self than a victory

One that i thought was pretty funny is when i was playing RE4 and i was going through Salazar's maze and i walked up on one of the cages that the infected wolves are in and the door was wide open and the thing just sat there and growled at me after about 5 minutes of waiting to see if it would attack me i got tired of hearing it growl and sniped it
Any game in which the '1. Run into a room full of baddies. 2. Run out. 3. Shoot them as they come through the door single file, one after another' strategy works.
In other news, the thread title says poll... I feel cheated!

The worst is when the AI is actually important to gameplay. I mean, your AI friend on Lego Star Wars is about as useful as a blow up dartboard but it doesn't actually matter. The AI on Halo 3 admittedly can't drive for shit but that's just a commentary on how the soldiers fighting are too young to have taken their driving test.

I agree with halo 3. only cause t i didn't get my promised "improved enemy ai"
Playing on legendary brutes would pop bubble sheilds, and stand next to
it instead of taking cover.
Oh, wait, partners, er sorry.
Still halo 3, the Driving and gunner npcs
and on the other end of the ai spectrum I have to say, the best npc ai in any game has to be your teamates in CoD4's campaine.

Frontlines: Fuels of war.
I'm not sure exactly what is happening in this game, I'm evidently not the squad commander as I can't order the little buggers around, but they will insist upon following me everywhere I go. Seeing as I can't kill them for fear of running out of respawns; I elected to ignore them, and leave them to their own devices. I'm now prone on top of a roof lining up a shot with some form of scoped weapon, deciding upon what order I should redecorate the building opposite with the brains of my enemy in order to cause as little commotion as possible. As I'm just about to pull the trigger, one of my colleagues sees fit to run in my way, attracting the fire of those I sought to decimate.

Worst NPC partner ever would have to be EVA in MGS3. Honestly, woman, do I really need to tell you to take cover when a patrol of armed Russians is coming towards us?
The Turok AI was pretty horrible, both friendly and enemies. I just really hated how your companion through the early levels, kept yelling at you constantly to follow him when you were merely a few paces behind him. Then he'd stop for you to catch up, and you'd walk past him and he'd still be stationary yelling at you to follow him. Then when you turn round to see what the hell is going on back there that's got him rooted to the spot, a velociraptor would proceed to examine the back of your shitty Mohawk haircut with the inside of it's mouth.
Definitely Half-Life 2. Or one of the episodes. I don't know, I played them all together.
Every single friggin' time you get more than one thing following you. The antlions. I decide to run out from a corner to pwn a baddie or something, because the antlions can take about half a bullet before dying. I run out, for some reason, I want to run back behind cover! No! My antlion buddies are behind that cover, so I have to either push them back of blast them to hell to survive. Your squad, as someone else pointed out, is only good for blocking doorways, getting themselves blown up, or getting their faces blown off by a sniper. The snipers are fun to play with, though. I loved grabbing random objects and holding them out from behind cover. They just can't resist shooting every single physics object they can see.

Well, I have played through HL2 more times than I can count, and I have never had the problem you guys are mentioning with the AI. Or maybe I'm just lucky. Well, worst AI? Probably Star Wars Battlefront. Look! I'm just going to stand here doing nothing! Hell, in the original there was a problem were something like 10% of AI spawns would not have AI, just sit there and do nothing.
The best use I've found for my HL2 squadmates is sending them into dark passages ahead of me to feed any lurking zombies so that I can blow the them away while they feast on the corpses of my team.
SOCOM's allied AI is horrendus. I got better in Combined Assault but the first three games had you wanting to frag your squad.
