Apparently, both HL games script all AI. Can anybody clear this up? by Colonel K 07/02/2003, 12:43am PDT
How is that different from 'real' AI? What the hell is 'real' AI? Does Half-Life actually cheat because its characters react to certain situations with scripted behaviour, or is there enough variation within their responses (and triggers for response) to make the term 'scripted' obsolete?

I'm worried about two things, because when I reach the threshold - 3 months left - of anything this good, I become even more of a pussy.

1. Gabe Newell said that HL2 doesn't actually have 'scripted events' anymore. But that big fucking blue tentacle of death will always kill the Combine soldier, right? And are they using that same technology to control Barney in that one 'unscripted' scene, so that his AI is context-based, and concerned only with progressing forward (safely) because that's all the level requires?

2. The game will still kick ass, anyway, and if that isn't due to the War of The Worlds imagery, it'll be because you can make bugs rape your enemies. But that doesn't change the fact that, in the E3 video, the Combine seem to be ubiquitous and boring; they stand and shoot, and do nothing else.
