  • Left 4 Dead 2’s AI Fail


    Courtesy of Paul D. at Koku Gamer; some language in video content

    With reports of players failing to get through the ‘Easy’ difficulty due to the stupidity of AI companions in Left 4 Dead 2, a video has backed this up by showing just how hilariously bad the AI can be in the sequel.


    Laugh out loud material, yet that’s really how bad the AI is in Left 4 Dead 2.

    Left 4 Dead’s AI was bad; not arguably bad, just plain bad. But you could at least still trot on through the maps on your own, even on the ‘Advanced’ difficulty. Valve decided to make the single player maps vaster and harder in Left 4 Dead 2. Unfortunately, it seems they forgot to perform any tweaking to the AI. So while you could barely make it through with Larry, Curly and Moe last time around, you’re screwed now.

    As I write this article, I’ve had to retry the third stage of the Dark Carnival map 6 times now because *SPOILER* the AI refuses to run around the rollercoaster tracks. *SPOILER ENDS*

    You may ask why I’m playing alone. Well, I’d like to know why too because nobody has joined my game since the lobby, begging the question of sales. With no-one on my 100-strong friends list playing the game, I wonder if it has suffered at the hands of Modern Warfare 2.

    Oh, and Valve decided to (kindly) switch off the server because I was idle while writing this…thanks Valve.

    Have you heard about or experienced the same problem with L4D2?
