So I was slaughtered by a jackal with a storm rifle earlier while Linda was off doing her own thing, probably eating glue or licking a window, and I asked myself a question. Are AI allies [i]ever[/i] good at what they do?
Let's take Blue Team from Halo 5. If you go down on Legendary and there is even one enemy in your immediate vicinity, they are not going to revive you. If they need to move any significant distance to get to you, that movement will take about 6 years. And then there was Kat driving the warthog.
Are any of them not invincible but as good as they're supposed to be in canon? In the case of Halo 5, these are genetically augmented super soldiers. I feel like I'm leading a strike team of toddlers.

Halo 5 AI is horrid. Republic Commando? [i]That[/i] AI was on point.

Definitely not Bill from Last of Us. "Now Bill, let's stealth around the Clickers" "SHOTGUN ZOMBIE CHARGE!" "OH SCREW YOU BILL"

Edited by Eirikur: 11/6/2015 5:44:50 PMI think it's just Halo that has always had terrible friendly AI. [spoiler]It's kind of a balancing thing. If the AI was too good it would take away from your experience.[/spoiler]

Not perfect, but the team AI in Payday 2 is really good.

Those damn AIs in halo 5 have pissed me off sooooo much!! I'll be down with no enemy around me and all 3 of them will run to me but because I'm on a piece of debris that has me like an inch off the ground they are all just stand there and stare at me watching my life fade away. Linda though is the least reliable for me and the entire team has died any times because of her

Their arbiter rekt in H3. And H5, actually.

Serana in Skyrim?

Socom: Navy Seals If you actually understand strategy, or have a brain for that matter, they were extremely useful. An AI team that can flash bang and breach the bottom floor of a cabin, while you break through the second floor to take out their CO... makes them more useful than half the people on my friends list. PLUS THEY UNDERSTAND VOICE COMMANDS!!! MGSV: op buddies. The fact that I could just collect materials while Quiet would cover me, and by that I mean single handedly taking out whole villages of mercs while I run straight to the objective... I'd say that's a helpful ai teammate.

Halo is not halo if your ai companions dont spend all day finding creative ways to explode. I literally had a marine jump out of a hornet once for no apparent reason. I was like a mile in the air. and dont even get me started on their driving.
