Personally the AI was one of the strongest points in the game. It definately learned and adapted to my tactics. If I used a lot of melee, they'd try to. If I tried mostly stealth, they'd adapt that way too. Similarly they'd adapt to weapons that way and mix through the strategies I used.

If anything the weakness is that until you start using grenades and smart tactics, the AI won't try to flank or anything. It autoscales based on how good you are.

If a player or reviewer just blindly flies in and kills things with no thought, the AI will act stupid like in a normal FPS. If you're smart, conserve your shots and take cover for a 'zero damage approach' like people do in a game like Thief you'll see the AI act accordingly and be rather bright.

It's nice to hear that Q4 is worth playing. I got that and COD2 for free with my cards.

By the way, are any of you getting a sort of frame skipping effect in Q4, where the game seems to stutter as you move around? This was something that some people (including me) ran into in Doom 3 and it made the game unplayable even though the framerate was good. I made some series of tweaks to get rid of it, but can't remember exactly what I did now.

yea I get that in the Demo of Q4, not sure how to get rid of it but it sure is annoying!!!  especially when running on 1280 x 960 at medium detail no AA/AF on an X850 Pro...  anyone know how to fix it?
