Half-Life 2 - Advanced AI in Action

A quick retrospective look at the stellar AI of Half-Life 2. Many of you whippersnappers may be too young to remember, but one of the biggest complaints about HL2 arising shortly after its release was the confoundingly dumb AI. As in, downright rock stupid. Dumber than a bag of particularly unintelligent hammers. Well, it’s been several years since then (Over four, to be exact). Have Valve finally patched these long outstanding AI issues in the mean time? You be the judge!
