Atrocious AI and glitches make this game pretty difficult to play
They are horrible I think if you commanded them to tie there shoe lace they wouldnt be able to do it hypothetically speaking. I just don't understand the brain power behind telling them to go into cover which they do and then decide to ignore it after 2 seconds and stand right out in the open and get murdered by 5 to 6 enemies.
Not only is squad AI bad the computer is worse I just can't understand the lets only fire at Shepard which we dont know were he/she is by the way because he/she is hiding behind a box, but we'll shoot as if we can shoot through it. Second I had an infiltrator, lets not let me go invisible to only the immediate second I come out even if I ran far away they pull like a 180 and start shooting at me again. Don't companies collaborate on there games, maybe like saying hey Army of Two had a good (Aggro) system maybe we can incorporate that into the squad on Mass Effect 2?
Which brings me to probably the most annoying and broken cover system I've seen out of any game, first of all give the ability to crouch if your faulty cover system just randomly decides to stand up for no reason at all. If you could crouch you could quickly click the stick in other than having to try and hug a stupid crate that doesn't even protect you half of the time. Secondly wherever your crosshair is pointed while in cover that should be where your aiming when you come out to shoot, I'm so sick and tired of aiming at an enemy and coming out of cover with a shotgun trying to fire quickly only to be aiming 3 feet to the left of him. Like previously stated one thing I actually enjoyed of AO2 is their cover system it was good, you think being EA and I know that they don't all work together on designing games, but seeing how EA looks at themselves as a powerhouse they could maybe not overlook minor but annoying as all hell glitches.
Like I said I enjoy the series just stuff like this happening really make it hard to give this game anything more than a 7
