The AI is actually really good, but nerfed to hell by default, even on survival.
If you use GCM to set search times to 60s and ‘forgetfulness’ (can’t remember the actual variable right now) to ~5 mins, they’re tough. They don’t just give up and go back to doing what they’re doing and you need to keep moving since they can (*but won’t always) locate gunshots by sound and will start moving to your last firing location.

Second this for Pray. It was quite the experience for me.
Before that I loved Half Life 2s AI.

HL2 was amazing. Playing Alyx as well gave me the creeps hiding from Combine. I loved it.
HL1 had AI that was so good for the late 90s it ruined games for me

It did for me too! And the scripted events layered in seamlessly in all three games. It’s easy to forget it’s a game.
