6. Enhanced AI
Another slight snag of Crysis 2's otherwise pretty exhilarating campaign was the less than stellar AI; given that the Ceph are supposed to be an advanced alien race, they really don't seem that smart, unable to lock down a target and swarm him, but oh, how that has changed for Crysis 3. Now, the Ceph are more efficient hunters than ever, co-ordinating their attacks with unexpected grace, given how easy it would surely have been for Crytek to just focus on the visuals at the expense of things like this. C.E.L.L. soldiers aren't left out of the mix either; you'll hear them shouting expletives at you on a frequent basis, but they're not just brainless grunts. They will take cover when appropriate and use similar tactics that players themselves will. AI is still a general weakpoint of video games, and yes, Crysis 3 could go even further with it, but this is a very encouraging sign all the same.
