Good article. Still pretty much the best emergent AI in the business. F.E.A.R. is the only other game that gives me as much satisfaction in outwitting enemies minute to minute.

Halo's greatness lies in its gunfights which never play out the same way twice, and in its supremely balanced weapon set, which make each and every individual encounter and campaign replay a fresh experience.

Absolutely, F.E.A.R. and Halo are untouchable. And I also have to say it was a great interview, wish we'd get more of that development-focused stuff here and not just on Gamasutra.

Very enjoyable interview. His point about AI being very much a part of a picture which includes physics, animation, level layout, etc is an interesting one.

Very nice read.

Interesting bit about physics affecting AI. Something that I never noticed.

Yeah, no matter if you love or hate Halo, I don't think anyone can deny that the games, at the very least, offer some of the best AI to been seen in FPSes. I hope Bungie's future games will produce similar impressive AI.

It's so much more interesting to read this kind of article, rather than the normal PR. Any chance of more technical minded stuff? Just for geek interest really.

There is a fantastic presentation at halo.bungie.org somewhere on the AI of Halo 1, can't find it at the mo but it expands a bit on some of the things mentioned in this article.

Funny, the latest EDGE just plopped onto my doormat and the first thing I turned to was an almost identical article!
