C.E. -The Trump Card
Was arguing with a guy at work about how great Halo was, and realized something. If there was one singular thing that separated C.E. from its contemporaries (and a lot of games since), it was enemy psychology. No other game did so much to make you believe the enemies were real. Varying states of alarm/quiet...many games still don't seem to have that. Or even non-combat animations half the time.

Under the hood, CE's AI is actually absurdly simple compared with a lot of AI that many people find far less believable and interesting. Halo 1 was where Bungie aimed for "intelligence" rather than intelligence, and absolutely nailed it.[/quote] Intelligence rather than intelligence? Do you mean Intelligents rather than intelligence, or vice versa?[/quote] No. You need to pay attention to the scare quotes. Halo 1's AI is not a very complicated system. They are not actually very intelligent in most senses of the word, but they seem to be very natural and convincing enemies in-game. Rather than trying to approximate real intelligence, Bungie aimed for expressiveness, smooth gameplay, and a decent illusion of intelligence. The newer games often feature substantially more sophisticated AI systems, but are often not perceived as having smarter, more natural, more convincing enemies. [Edited on 10.17.2012 2:53 PM PDT]
