The AI in this game freaks me out a little bit.

Agreed, the way they circle you rather than charging at you. The way they stop and stare at you and the way they clamber around trees and jump from cover to cover is very creepy indeed.

Makes you wonder, games designers seem to neglect AI quite a bit in my opinion, I keep seeing really nice advances in all other areas like graphics, gameplay mechanics and sound design, but it seems that AI (and in most cases storytelling) seems to get cut off once it reaches a certain level, and never really pushed.

I even felt creeped out just reading that!

This is s great game.
