Is Kat a double-agent or just stupid? I think stupid…maybe that’s why she has the attitude…
At the Comms Array last night parked the Hog to take out the Revnant and the Marine and Kat take off in the Warthog and run me down causing a death in an otherwise flawless game.
Respawned… made sure the Marine didn’t get a second chance… felt good
Kat can walk from now on…
Kat is a wonderful driver, how can you say such a thing?
In all seriousness, the AI for driving is damn right horrible in Reach, although for Kat, it is more noticeable.
I actually had Kat drive for a while at the Anti-Aircraft site, (after Comms Array.) It wasn’t nearly as bad as a Marine.
It was a Marine driving when I got run-down at the Comms Array, Kat was riding shotgun and yelling at me… as usual.
I thought I heard her laughing as I died, but it just might be me…
Interesting you got her to drive…I never could…that female is impossible ROFLMFAO!!!
I wish I could get her to stop jumping in the drivers seat. There are times I just want to park the hog and use the turret gun, I’m a man with a plan…
Then Kat shows up…
Trying to be stealthy to take out the Revnant at the Comms Array and I hear gunfire… it’s Kat…standing right behind me… oh hey… Mr. Elite… here I am!
Then she takes the hog and gets it blown up the Revnant, then has the nuts to start yelling at me to “take that guy out…”
I used to be a nice guy…now I leave her behind whenever I get the chance…she’d probably get along great with my ex-wife…similar personalities.
My favorite was when I was sneaking around and hiding behind a rock for whatever reason on a LASO and she comes careening around the corner, honking the horn and splattered me against the rock. -_______________-
Was this A.I. created by a gamer-programmer with issues?
I was watching a walkthrough video on You Tube by MysticTyrant and he starts melee-ing her in the elevator at ONI, and I think to myself…“that’s rude.”
And now… not so much anymore…
I don’t remember her and Jorge stepping into my line of fire like this when I played-through on “normal.” Jun was pretty useless on Nightfall, but that was expected from watching the walkthroughs.
I absolutely love Halo (total FNG here,) its the only game I play, (just started gaming a couple months ago at age 53) but geez… cmon Noble Team, don’t step in front of someone that’s shooting a weapon…
Had to laugh at a Marine the other night who stepped in front of me at Comms Array while I was sniping grunts with my DMR. Shot his square in the butt…made him bleed too
I don’t remember which level it was, but it was on Legendary. I got to a bridge with the Rocket Hog. I hopped out and took over the turret so I could take out all the elites and other turrets on the other side of the bridge. Then, my AI partner jumps in the drivers seat and drives straight to the side of the bridge and off the side. -_-
I reload and do the same thing. This time, when he hops in, I hop out and he drives to the same spot, but doesn’t go over the edge. He ends up getting stuck on the side of the cliff. I walk over and kick him out(he falls down the cliff) and get into the driver’s seat. Then I try to get up the cliff face, but can’t. The game suddenly decides to save that spot as a checkpoint. So I stop trying to get up the cliff and the hog falls down and I die. The checkpoint reloads and I am in the driver’s seat on the cliff face. Took about 5 minutes to get to the previous checkpoint before that.
I think the Halo 2 AI drives pretty well…
But yeah they dont drive good at all in Reach
> Jun was pretty useless on Nightfall, but that was expected from watching the walkthroughs.
The one time I was doing the forklift run and he decided to be a big hero and snipe some sleeping grunt. Woke everybody up. -_-
@Vintage…
I call those checkpoints “Halo Groundhog Days” (referring to the old Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day.)
I can’t tell you how many times at the Anti Aircraft gun I’ve gotten stuck in one of those… got it figured out now though. I sit up on the hill (nearest Swordbase) with the Sniper rifle I’d been toting since the first firefight and snipe the Elites.
I think I had a Groundhog day run with the General there and died at least thirty times before I figured out my new strategy
These experiences should be a forum unto themselves…they’re great
> Kat can walk from now on…
I was playing Tip off The Spire on Legendary one time. I got so pissed off at her. That I drove full speed at the edge of the cliff. When I was about 25 feet in front of it. I jumped out. She went over with the Hog 
But the could thing was I had a check point in front of the Revenant. So I hijacked it.
These are hilarious! … and I’ve had pretty much all of them happen to me.
Yesterday, I was 'jacking a Wraith, and I have the Elite’s shields down. All she has to do is keep shooting, and he is down, or at least distract him.
Nope! She hops in the Wraith and backs over me.
THAT had to feel good… I can just hear her…
“Seex where are you going?..”
I’ll have to remember that play. What a screen-shot that would make…
Maybe it’s all an elaborate joke by one of the programmers about women drivers?
Or they assumed the player character would always be the one driving, so didn’t need to make the AI smart at that sort of thing. I always trusted marines much more in the sideseat, with unlimited amo sniper/rocket/something. When they drive they’d often seem to think it’s a good idea to stand still and have a staring contest with wraiths (hint: we usually lost).
Perhaps AI will be among the improvements 343 can do for halo 4.
She has run me over soooo many times I can’t count them…
OT: Has anyone else ever been killed by an ordance pod ( the one with rockets, sniper, etc…) in firefight? Sucked sooooo bad for me…

In Firefight one time. I was jetpacking around, and those Covenant troop landing pods landed on me.
I’m hoping that Halo 4 sees some improvements in the A.I. (with more emphasis on the “I”). If you can make the covenant troops smart you can make the friendly A.I. just a wee bit smarter.
Everyone of the walkthroughs I’ve watched, (HaloReachTutor, MysticTyrant and Mahalo Video) always discuss how bad the friendly A.I.'s are so I’m hoping 343 gets a clue.
If they read these forums at all, (which I’m sure they do,) they know the issue. I don’t think anyone wants the A.I’s to be taking the fun out of the game, but geez… don’t setup it up so that you have to work against them.

Atleast those are fat, the weapon pods are sooo small. The otherday doing the level before PoA (forgot name) emile almost killed me with his failed grenade.

I had a Covenant drop pod almost hit me. It landed right beside and kill my sister. I then had to turn tail and run from the brutes that poured out.
