These Video Game NPCs SUCK!

4. Your Entire Team - Battlefield: Hardline

These NPCs Suck
EA

Yet you know what's more annoying than a sole ally firing bullets with all the stopping power of a passive-aggressive post-it note? A whole !*$% team of them.

Ladies and gentlemen say hello to quite possibly the worst AI Teammates you will ever meet, and when you consider that Natalya from GoldenEye and all of Daikatana is in that same conversation that is bloody saying something. In fact, this brain dead A, (which is the correct term seeing as inferring these have any intelligence whatsoever is an insult to guess your weight machines) is a problem that plagues both teammates and enemies alike, making for situations where you'll be shunted out of cover by your own squadmate, right into the line of sight of an enemy who then proceeds to ignore you, presumably mistaking you for a !*$% potted plant.

Things slide further down the rungs when the action kicks off, as it was quickly noted that your squad's weapons are loaded with premium spitballs and even a headshot from one of these wouldn't even count as chip damage in other games, and it all made for a confusing mess in which the title only lived up to it's "cops and robbers" gimmick in that only !*$% NARCS could enjoy the soullessness of this title and everyone else who paid for this slop truly did end up feeling robbed.

The only enjoyable thing about this game was the couch car you could ride around in, which is rather ironic because the rest of the title was a joke we didn't find funny.
