Halo 3: ODST - AI can't drive for shit

From Gameswire: "Some Warthog turret gameplay that inadvertently reveals the shockingly limited driving abilities of ODST's AI - not least the moment at the end where it manages to get itself stuck. 'Tard."

Umm, what's with the right wheel of the Warthog looking like it's about to fall off?

XBLGT B1GMACNFR1ES5338d ago

i sometimes let a marine drive me in a warthog from time to time. just to see what he does. sometimes there pretty good at fighting scarabs and tanks, but then sometimes im like WOW :'O he just drove me and 3 others of the cliff! lol

menoyou5338d ago

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Bungie is a mediocre developer but with all the money Microsoft pours into marketing them people convince themselves otherwise.

The BS Police5338d ago

The reason why the right wheel looks like it's going to fall off is ebcause the warthog was damaged.

Reibooi5338d ago

For the most part the AI in the Halo games are pretty bad. Aliens do nothing but hide or just rush you and the only thing that makes Legendary mode harder is that they all deal way more damage.

The friendly AI is absolutely useless as I have seen a Marine looking in the opposite direction of a brute shooting at him from 2 feet away until he was killed by said Brute.

AI when it comes to driving just either get you killed in 3 seconds don't know where its going or just drives off a cliff.

SixZeroFour5338d ago

lmao...that almost happened to me a couple times playing halo 2 and 3, but i always make sure i jump off the vehicle if he gets 3 feet from a cliff...ahahha, then if they dont drive off, they usually stop and wait for you to get back on

Just because microsoft markets the hell out of Halo dosen't explain the great reviews, If you dont like Halo thats one thing but to say Bungie and mediocre developer is a little far fetched dont you think?

> Bungie is a mediocre developer but with all the money Microsoft pours into marketing them people convince themselves otherwise.

Utter claptrap.

Their is not a single other (non-nintendo) game series -- NONE -- that has an average metacritic score greater than Halo CE,2 & 3 since CE was released.

Bungie has gotten awards for it's AI.

Halo is a landmark series for videogames. It put story, technology, accessability, gameplay and many other facets together at such a high-level -- for each iteration -- that they've become earned a terrific reputation.

Trying to pretend otherwise is just silly.

Hate all you want, all indications is that Halo: ODST is going to be ANOTHER high-water mark for gaming.

Shepherd 2145338d ago

Halo has never excelled in friendly AI, its only the enemy AI thats really good. Been that way since Halo Combat Evolved. Old news guys.

thewhoopimen5338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

that was a pretty retarded movie. The AI driver was definitely on something lol. I think with the amount of time given to polish this title and its predecessor halo3... you would think Bungie would have figured to "script" the driving sessions by now if they can't get the AI to work.

This does not show POLISH usern4g. It is a mediocre "that's close enough" mentality that Bungie is demonstrating (especially given they are a 1st party turned 2nd party studio) There is no "high watermark" when the 4th version of this game still has the game AI driving you off the cliff.

I'm sorry but you are wrong.

@below true enough. but the rub is... this has been happening since Halo1. Its not Halo2 or 3 anymore either. This type of mistake should've been fixed years ago. I'm sure the warthog running off the cliff "bug" was demonstrated during beta testing in Halo1 even... They released it and they are continuing to pass it off.

mythamp5338d ago

In all faireness, kilzone 2 friendly AI's are just at bad...so dont see any reason to diss bungie for it, all developers intentionally make dumb friendlies to make the environment tougher.

I am a proud PS3 & Killzone 2 owner.

JonnyBadfinger5338d ago

Every game has poor friendly AI. MGS4, KZ2, Gears, Halo.
IF they were too good it would make you feel less significant.

And as for those laughing at that footage, your idiots. Simply because how the AI driver behaves is due to a number of things, including enemy position, position of real time debris (smashes up ghost or structure etc..) and whether or not the enemy is shooting at the vehicle.

If its SOO bad show me the greatest example ever of friendly AI driving. IF thats at all possible

I prefer to drive in Halo anyway because the AI are better on the turret than i am, i have better judgment and evasive skills, and i dont stop everytime a new enemy steps out from behind cover.

mingeater5338d ago

i never let the marines drive, they are much better on the turret.

Just like the AI in Halo3. It sucks imao.

Lord_Ranos5338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

why the disagrees? Halo has the worst A.I in the existence of gaming. For example if u give a marine the roket launcher, they'll go to cover and fire in the damn wall. lol

EDIT: stupid bots disagreeing. lol

Montrealien5338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

why the disagree's? lol

he said.....why the disagree's?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! *breath* HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

As for all the responses to this amazing piece of news...

It`s nice to see the kids still enjoy sitting in a circle and having a little circle jerk, creepy.

Not once, but twice down to the cliff. Proof that AI is crap.

Lord_Ranos5338d ago (Edited 5338d ago )

The only thing that the frienly A.I is good at in Halo is if u give them a battle rifle or carbine to kill an enemy in mid-range. Then they just go and suicide in meelee with an elite, brute, or a god damn Hunter.lol

Pandamobile5338d ago

All of the friendly AI in Halo are retarded. The wheelmen are no exception.

BX815338d ago

Yeah the drivers in halo always seemed to be dumb as hell. Another horrible example of AI is in Gears 2, the bots are the dumbest things ever if their on your team.
