You really believe that anyone can actually come up with computer AI that will match human inteligence? There has been only one instance in which I can recall an intellgent human being beaten by a computer. BigBlue winning a few games of chess. The only way the computer won was because it could calculate a huge multitude of possibilties at once.
Now all of you talk and complain about the lack of highly intelligent AI in games. All I can say is that I play Tribes (windows only) on a daily basis and I ALWAYS have to learn new tactics to beat my opponent. Why, you ask? Because they are humans. If you want AI that can beat a human you won't find it. Humans can beat humans. Computers do what humans tell them to do. Play the source not the product.
Multiplayer games are the future. I know most of you have high speed connections and can handle the frame rates put off by high quality First Person Shooters. So stop complaining and play real people.
On a side note. If anyone would like to help port Tribes to Linux. Please let me know. I will get you in contact with the Dev Team to see if it is a possibility. Thanks
