"Killzone2 AI is Dumb" Is Not True

If your a ps3 owner there are 2 news pieces on Killzone 2 on PSN which spend some time on killzone 2's AI.

Its quite impressive what they are doing there, they want to keep it as realistic as possible, but instead of making all the enemies see you instantly, they want to make you feel part of the battle, not the centre of it, so its quite possible to snkea up on enemies, also they have been really good with your allies AI, their tactics will change depending on what guns ou are using, and what you are doing, for example if your not on a turret, they will get on it. They will also help by telling you about flanks.

Also if you are struggling they will help more, but of your doing really well they will lay back a bit more, slso the amount of teammates actually present depends on how good you are, they have also mafde it so they wont go ahead and clear it for you, like some games.

But its also how dynamic and unpredictable it is that makes it great, htey said that when you die, the enemy might walk up to you and do a taunt like shaking fists, once this happened but an ally shotgunned him in the head, not much help since your dead, but it shows that it all keeps going afterwards and its not all over when you die, your just another soilder.

[QUOTE="one_on_one"]I believe the dumb AI they were referring to are your squad teammate AI. That's why coop would've been so nice.Planeforger

Squadmate AI has to be bad, because if they could easily beat your enemies, there wouldn't be much point playing the game. This is true of just about any shooter involving squadmates.

Back on topic...I remember another Killzone 2 gif, involving the player knifing an enemy - the enemy turns to the player, turns back to the wall, and then gets stabbed a few times without reacting. Anyone got that?

I Think That this "KZ2 AI is Dumb" Business needs to die, if not already dead :D

I noticed that too. Before the grenade is thrown, they just seem to be standing there not doing anything and when the grenade is thrown, the second guy still isn't doing anything.

I'm not saying that the AI is dumb or not, But look at the second guy who is not jumping. You can see bullets flying over him so he turned to the direction from where bullets are coming. Because he is computer controlled, he knows that this grenade won't hurt him but those bullets will. Also you are not shooting at him, someone else is.

Maybe I'm wrong, I'm guessing only

god i wish KZ2 would just release, regardless of how good it is. Its been like 4 years of constant hyping, no game deserves this much hype.marklarmer

That is true

BTW If majority of reviews are good I'll buy it, If not I'll buy something else. No hype.

Ok maybe a little hype:)
