Title: GRAW 2 is pretty great, but the AI...

Does anyone remember what has been said about the AI in publications? If anything it seems on par with Vegas. The first GRAW's AI wasnt this good, it was pretty fucking bad at times. The new AI does a great job seeking cover and will even find a firing solution if you placed it somewhere it cant fire at a target from and its in assault mode.

they said it was completely overhauled in this one.  The AI in the first sucked.  You might as well have played alone.

Played alone? In GRAW 1 I had an AI walk in front of my rocket launcher as I fired it. :( I was definately not alone.

The new AI is good but I heard people say magazines were doggin it but I cant figure out why

That's why I said you might as well have played alone, they were only worthless when they weren't actually hindering the gameplay.

From what I've read, it was being dogged for not being so proactive and basically relying on you to make moves first.  But I think bitching about that is kind of stupid, there's nothing more annoying than your homeboys opening fire on enemies while you're trying to be discreet.

I dunno, ive seen them put into cover by me, and then move to better firing positions in just the first mission. Additionally there's still the Recon/Assault modes which let your AI buds know when to fire and when not to fire. You can also now control them through the cameras on their helmets which is neat. So you can direct from FAR away and see what they see.

The AI's better but they'll still bump into people when running to cover.  That's the biggest problem, I've never seen them shoot while running.

Last GRAW's had NO AI.  They were just people you escorted around.  I don't think they killed anything other then a tank when I told the rocket launcher guy to blow it up.  On the other hand, the tank and helicopter AI was good.

They did that in Vegas too tho, I dont get why AI wasnt some weird focus on Vegas but it is in GRAW 2

The AI couldn't be the same because of how the soldiers in GRAW usually have to fight across open areas.  There's always cover in Vegas and you don't get chased by tanks/helicopters.  Plus in Vegas they'd actually use one gun for a certain situation and another for another situation.  You're guys have their primary guns and that's it.

They pushed me around in vegas a lot, cramped quarters n all.  MY issue with GRAW 1 AI was the AI standing in my line of fire. I havent seen that yet in GRAW 2.
