We will probably find that there will not be much AI in games at launch, as there will be sufficient players online. As time passes and new games come out the player base will naturally reduce and AI become more prevalent. Also handy for the nighthawks that decide a game at three in the morning would be a good idea.
They are taking a huge risk on being able to produce decent 'human' like AI bots. The problems theyll have is players will know they are up against AI bots so if one does something dumb,like a human player can sometimes do, we'll just blame the AI as being rubbish. We have all lost a firefight we should have won and won ones we should have lost against other humans, but if we suddenly start losing gunfights against AI that should have been won people will cry foul about AI cheating or conversely AI being rubbish. Whereas against human players we know we were just out fought (and thought), or were just plain rubbish on that occasion.
