Newsflash, Hotblack - know what other game you've just described?

Half Life 1.

Notice they didn't throw grenades at soldiers in the E3 video? That's about the only time soldiers really move around in Half Life 1. This is why it sucked, too.

Don't be an ass. Half Life's marines would run the fuck around, and when they were low on health they would run the fuck away from you. Watch the E3 video again. Notice how the Combine barely fucking move until they're dead?

Enemies in Half-Life and Opposing Force that could operate weapons were smart enough to use tactics. The marines - remember, the ones everybody still talks about today - were a big goddamned surprise compared to the cannon-fodder you'd previously fought. My problem with the HL2 video was that Combine soldiers are armed, clothed bipeds that can't muster the intelligence to move. They look like an army, right? If they're as dumb as the other aliens in Half-Life 2, why don't we see headcrab zombies firing shotguns?

I compared the AI from both games because, from what I've read, the code wasn't changed much.
