All right! As long as there aren't any other entries, you have all the time in the world, mate. The early bird catches the worm.

That sir, is one of the most awesome ideas I've ever heard. There was an obscure James-Bond related FPS named Goldeneye: Rogue Agent that had something very similar. The game wasn't very good but it had some interesting gameplay mechanics I had never seen before. It had a similar morale system- if you acted quite brutal and efficient (using enemies as human shields, showing expert marksmanship and reaction time), enemies would be more likely to panic.

Try playing Punisher...hostiles crap their pants when they see u slaughter their friends

I actually have that game. Basically, the special feature is that you play as a bad guy which allows you to do all sorts of evil things to your enemies. Unfortunately, this doesn't feel as morally questionable as it sounds because your adversaries are working for nasty crime organisations themselves. It was a promising concept which was badly executed.

Also, I added another paragraph to the update, explicitely stating that I was referring to Vegas ONE. I can't comment on the AI in V2.

The AI in Vegas 2 was schizophrenic. Sometimes you'd be able to walk into a room and gun down like 5 dudes, other times you'd walk into a room and get your head blown to Australia by that one guy who happened to be pointing a shotgun your way.

[DerKrieger]

I thought the AI in Vegas 1 and 2 was generally pretty good. What I was most impressed with was your fireteam's AI...it always bugged me in past R6 games that your teammates were as dumb as bricks.

[Rayburn]

Well, that IS true on the other hand. The team mates were definately more useful than those in the older games. Granted, the older games also
allowed you to take direct cntrol of them, though. Also, I'd say that the enemy AI during the regular campaign is not the same as in TH mode.

[TehKiller]

The thing i really dislike with Vegas is the squad...in old R6 games you would choose multiple squads and play with any char you wanted and it had the Battle plan which was the most interesting aspect of R6
