You must be joking! His enemies F.E.A.R. real or what? [hum drum] [slow mo]
Q: Jesus Christ, this has to freak Tst thing Ive ever met in a game before his. I do my usual sleep through a hum-drum FEAR level, walk slowly, leaning around corners, so I do not walk into an unsuspecting group of soldiers. Pick a pair with headshots in slow-mo is usually easier to treat than that they all run behind sh! T and throw grenades at me.
Well anyway, I crouch-walk into a room (I do not know if it is less noisy, but I feel calm), and it is still earily. There are walkways above me, and I sit around a few large tanks (or whatever they were) the scope that is not a terribly large space. All in all, atleast I waste a few minutes of time, think Ill try to feel like I have the right to go around those two pillars thing.
I / tanks (what they were), and lean look around on the stairs up on the catwalks above me. Ill be damned if there is no 3, yes 3, soldiers crouched behind the railing, and behind other items, leaning around looking directly at me. I had about one second to stare into their eyes and they were waiting for me fvcking true! They opened fire, and pursues what was one of the best fights I have had the pleasure to fight in video games, period. About 10 of those suckers in all, including the big boss fvcker mother, who was a pain to take down. Grenades flying everywhere, everyone involved is taking to cover multiple levels in this “room” to 3 use.
Those soldiers were on the way, and not fire on me. It was obvious they all knew that I was there, as they were already leaning stuff around, waiting for me to come out. I had no idea they were there, either.
Crazy, crazy things. Definitely the best moment in gaming ever.
Re:When crouched you dont get that much, when your standing t hough you get a nice lean around. Try it out.

I think you need to go and buy this game, too. 
Re:Now if only leaning was useful in FEAR. When I lean to the side with a weapon, I am able to move the weapon and my head about a foot to the side from where it is when standing straight. In FEAR your weapon moves a whole two inches, thus rendering Lean almost entirely useless for shooting around cover. Ugh.

Re:FEAR for me was all about the AI. The rest of it, graphics, level design, story, were all average at best. It was refreshing not to have such terribly predictable enemies, where combat becomes a simple repeat and rinse procedure.
I'm also waiting to see if Oblivion can break new ground in the AI front.

Halo AI was crap, I dont know how anyone can think it was good. I havent heard of anything the OP described since the AI in Half Life 1 (Soldiers).
This makes me want to go out and get it even more… Great AI really makes a game.
Well I won't agree with you(as many with me) about Halo AI, but that's another story…
HALO might have been repetitive but its AI shined.. Unless you've played it at baby level. I used level 4

Re:QFT. HALO AI made the beggining and now FEAR AI the next step.
BunnyFubbles cmon m8, stop playin with words
. Of course he was talkin bout SP experience… What is there to compare pc AI vs human one?
Re:Ya, its really that good. The Ai in fear is the first Ive seen that actually managed to flank me with a combination of covering and suppressive fire. I had no idea who the hell was shooting me, cause I didnt even consider for a second that theyd be smart enough to run into the next room, around, and behind ,e.
Re:yeah these AI are much better than Halo AI
but consider Halo was out when Xbox came out it took that long to someone surpass that AI. Anyways awesome game Re:The AI in fear is nothing short of amazing, i was very very impressed multiple times with the AI getting the best of me.

sounds like Halo2 AI
Did Halo have people running behind crates, then lifting their guns over their head to fire blindly and provide covering fire while remaining unexposed to your own fire?
Re:It sounds scripted to me. Im not trying to rain on your parade but if you do it all over again are they still in the same spots leaning? Are they leaning for hours on end?
I cant wait for Oblivion and hopefully STALKER so that NPCs can have lives for once.
Re:Yes there are some excellent fire fights in this game. Some of the best is right ,and each time it's different .

Crazy, crazy stuff. Absolutely the best moment in gaming, ever.
Beset moment ever? Not just for single player? I've had plenty of MP experiences that would be pretty tough for a single player experience to take down.
