The Event AI in the Singleplayer game seems to suck more than all the whores in all the whore jokes combined. In fact, because of the randomness of some of the events you can trigger you can get some funny results. Both funny 'haha' and funny 'man that's interesting'.

Example: After getting all 30 pieces of enemy intel and finishing the game (3-4 hours tops) I went back and played the mission "Game Over" because I wanted to kill that stupid hind helicopter.

So I'm playing through and I get the RPG to down the chopper all the while I'm sitting here thinking "Ha ha! Infinite Ammo! You're going down"

After hitting the hind 6 times I realized three things.

1) You can really put a lot of RPGs in the air if you scope and hold down the fire button without needing to reload
2) The rockets clip through half of the chopper
3) Even when you hit the chopper takes no damage

Bah! They give me an RPG, tell me to take down the chopper, then make it impossible to do so.

Onwards we go. On the bridge scene the act of 'survival' is easily handled with infinite grenades and the cluster bomb cheat. Chucking those things out rapidly I turned the spawn points into relentless explosions sending bodies flying through the air. Note to self: Ragdoll physics rocks. Since this part of the game is not time scripted but kill scripted the 3 minutes till the loyalists arrive passes in 10 seconds and up comes the slow mo sequence.

Now for more fun stuff. Since I cleared all 3 minutes in 10 seconds and I've litterally flattened everyone on the other side of the bridge with cluster bomb spam the 3 SAS/USMCFR guys on the ground have no blood under them even though they're rolling around on the ground. Up walks Zarkev and his two guards and the 3 guys jump up and beat the crap out of him with their rifles. They then proceed to dance around the bodies with side steps as the script plays out. One is shot through the gut, one through the head, the other is kicked in the gut and shot. Makes sense on the ground, not so much while they're dancing around corpses.

Price slides me the pistol and I go into slow mo to sit staring at 6 corpses. So I shoot the bodies of the possum players and up stand the SAS/USMCFR guys again. Pistol goes down, Loyalists rappel in and have a fire fight with my 3 guys who were brought back by my gun shooting healing bullets. Really short fire fight, but a corpse slides over to me and the rescue sequence plays out.


All in all probably the weirdest AI hiccup ever. Anyone else have issues with the game?
